About Us

Gladesville Veterinary was one of the first purpose-built veterinary practices in Sydney. The premises have continued to be upgraded since the hospital’s establishment in 1959 and boasts state of the art facilities for both staff and patients. In addition to founder Perry Manusu, past partners in the practice include Harry Cooper and Bob Ratcliffe, Max Zuber, Pam Short and Barry Young.

Over the many decades that GVH has been servicing the community and its pets, we feel that a real family has grown. We consider our clients an important part of that family, and we know that they feel the same way.

Integrity

Being honest, ethical and accountable at all times

Professionalism

Upholding high standards and showing respect through our communication and conduct

Excellence

Striving to achieve outstanding outcomes that go beyond expectations

Compassion

Kindness, understanding and empathy shown through our actions, communication and care

At GVH we feel strongly about the role we play in the community. Some of the pro bono work that we are proud to provide is the care of injured strays and injured and orphaned wildlife. We support the medical treatment of guide dogs, hearing dogs and Delta Society companion dogs.

GVH has supported the Sony Foundation together with CanTeen (Youth Cancer) in their ‘You Can’ campaign to raise $15 million to establish youth cancer centres of excellence across Australia. We have also provided support in the form of financial sponsorship and donations of equipment for animal welfare organisations in developing countries such as Nepal and Uganda, and for the Victorian bushfire emergency.

We are involved in community projects such as sponsoring the Dog Show at the Hunters Hill Moocooboola festival and we support the fund-raising activities of our local schools. We have been proud sponsors of junior soccer with the Gladesville Ravens soccer club. GVH has been a vital part of the local community since 1959, and we hope to continue being so long into the future.
