About Us
A Veterinary Clinic Built on Care
Southwest Animal Hospital is a family-owned veterinary clinic based in Busselton, founded by veterinarian Dr Beckie McLean and veterinary nurse Steven Hamilton. Although new to the South West, our team brings years of experience across both general practice and emergency care.
We’ve intentionally created a smaller, more personal clinic where you’re never rushed and your concerns are genuinely heard. We take the time to get to know you and your pet, provide clear advice, and tailor treatment to suit your pet’s individual needs.
For us, veterinary care is about more than medicine. It’s about trust, compassion, and supporting your pet’s health through every stage of life.

Testimonials
Kind Words From Local Pet Owners
We’re proud to care for the pets of the Busselton community. Here’s what some of our clients have said about their experience with our team.
Dr Beckie was amazing with our 10 week old Border Collie, Spencer. So calm, gentle and patient. Our visit was completely stress-free.

Both Beckie and Steven have been very compassionate, caring and knowledgeable about all of the issues my dogs have had.
Pam and Gordon
It was such a relief to have Dr Beckie look after Koda when he was stung by a bee. He's back to his normal bouncy self!
