Macleay Valley Veterinary Services has been established in Kempsey for many years. Originally opened by David Simon in October 1982 in Forth Street before moving to the current site in Belgrave Street in 1984.

Current owner Andrew Bennett joined the practice in 1991. After returning from a year working in the UK in 1994, he became a partner in 1996. Andrew & wife Karen took over as owners in 2001.

The Practice has seen many changes & has grown to now be a busy 6 vet Practice. The workload is varied with all aspects of veterinary medicine being catered for. MVVS has Kempsey & South West Rocks Clinics as well as the Mid North Coast Equine Reproduction Centre

The Kempsey Clinic underwent renovations in 2008 and is now a fully equipped, purpose built veterinary centre which provides the platform for the veterinary team to pursue high quality veterinary care.

The clinic is fully equipped with all diagnostic and therapeutic tools, three consultation rooms, a large vet/conference room, an operating theatre, a large open treatment room, an intensive care ward, a fully equipped laboratory, separate dog and cat hospitals, X-ray, ultrasound & endoscopy facilities, an isolation unit, and equine ultrasound & radiology areas.

The South West Rocks branch clinic provides consultation facilities for those living at “the Rocks”. There is a vet available for consultations by appointment and a qualified vet nurse available for over the counter sales each weekday morning.

The Mid North Coast Equine Reproduction Centre is located just out of Kempsey on 10 acres. It has multiple yards & a covered crush area where mares can be agisted for the purpose of insemination. The vets also collect fresh semen from stallions for freight & chilled insemination.
