Welcome to Lort Smith Animal Hospital, an iconic Melbourne institution located at 24 Villiers Street in North Melbourne. As an establishment dedicated to health and veterinary care, we provide exceptional services for all pet carers in Australia. Our mission is to deliver expert animal healthcare and wellbeing services through high-quality vet care and state-of-the-art facilities.

At Lort Smith, we go beyond veterinary care. We are proud advocates of the human-animal bond and have a unique legacy of compassion for pets and people in our community. Our 2022 Impact Report is now available to read, showcasing how we have adapted and transformed to meet the needs of the community. It also highlights the wonderful ways in which you contribute to the health, safety, and happiness of Melbourne's beloved animals.

Located in Melbourne's medical precinct, our emergency animal hospital and vet clinic provide critical care for sick and injured animals, as well as routine clinical services. We are centrally located for easy access during emergencies. Additionally, we have recently opened a brand new purpose-built vet clinic, adoption centre, and community dog park 16 kilometers north of Melbourne's CBD. This expansion allows us to serve even more pets and people in need.

If you have an emergency, please bring your pet to Lort Smith at 24 Villiers Street, North Melbourne. In case it is outside our opening hours, we have a list of 24-hour clinics for your reference.

You can also make a lasting impact on animal welfare by leaving a Gift in your Will to support animals in need. Your legacy will help us continue our vital work in caring for and protecting animals.

Our adoption centre in Campbellfield rehomes approximately 600 surrendered animals each year. If you are considering adopting a pet, we encourage you to carefully read the 'before you adopt' section on our website.

At Lort Smith, countless colorful interactions occur every day. While our community is incredibly diverse, we all share a common love for our pets and a deep respect for the human-animal bond.

We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, on which we work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Lort Smith values and celebrates diversity in our community. We are committed to providing animal care services that are inclusive, supporting equality and accessibility.
