Premier Pet Care Centre
Your Pet's Health Is Our Concern
The clinic was originally built to be the training centre for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and later became the RSPCA Animal Hospital and Clinic. The hospital was sold in the early 1980s, and thus, Belmont Avenue Veterinary Hospital began.
Today, the complex incorporates the Belmont Avenue Veterinary Hospital, Belmont Boarding Cattery and Belmont Clipping and Grooming Salon.
Meet the Veterinarians and team of Belmont Avenue Veterinary Hospital! We're pleased to provide exceptional vet care for your pets!

Rich Heritage of Pet Care
Comprehensive Pet Services
Veterinarians
Dr Paul Pendergast – B.Sc., B.V.M.S.
Paul is our second most senior Vet and has worked in Singapore, Mandurah, and Adelaide. He had to return to Perth when the Dockers were formed. His special interests include Dentistry and Orthopaedic Surgery, and he has currently finished studying Feline Medicine through the Sydney University Postgraduate Foundation.
Dr. Helen Mantle B.Sc., B.V.M.S
Helen graduated from Murdoch University and has worked in mixed and small animal practice both in Australia and the U.K. She has served on the committee of the AVA and represented W.A. as a policy councillor to the national body. She has also been a board member of the Continuing Education Foundation at Murdoch University.
Helen is interested in animal behaviour, the human-animal bond, and senior pet care. Outside work, she enjoys tennis, travel and downtime with family and friends.
Nurses
Alana – Cert IV Veterinary Nurse
Having grown up on a farm, it was always evident that Alana would work with animals.
She is a qualified Veterinary Nurse who graduated in 1999 and has since worked at Belmont. She is a very capable nurse and always remains strangely calm, even when the vets don't!!
Brittany – Cert IV Veterinary Nurse
Brittany is one of our veterinary nurses who has always loved animals (with a special interest in horses – although Belmont Ave does not treat them) and studied to complete her Certificate II in Animal Studies while still in high school! She also has a Cert III in Animal Studies and Equine Management.
Davina – Cert IV Veterinary Nurse/Puppy Pre-School Teacher
Davina is one of our nurses/receptionists who has been at Belmont since late 1999. She loves all animals but is especially interested in canine behaviour and has been running puppy classes here since 2001. Davina also teaches PUPi Management (dog training) classes, has been a temperament assessor/trainer for dog rescue, and is available for individual training and PUPi Home Management consultations (for dogs up to 12 months old).
Davina likes to train dogs on a regular collar and lead and doesn't use treats, clickers, etc. – only voice control and praise.
Kana – Cert IV Veterinary Nurse
Kana was born and raised in Japan and came to Australia in 2006. She is a qualified and registered veterinary nurse who graduated from Bentley TAFE in 2008. Since 2012, she has been nursing full-time at Belmont Ave.
Kana's interests include surgical nursing, anaesthesia, patient care, and meeting fur friends (including grumpy cats!). Kana has two dogs, Siona (Staffy x) and Bruce (Cavoodle), and two domestic shorthaired cats, Muffin and Cookie (both came to our clinic as strays).
Support Staff
Trish – Kennel Hand
Trish is our dedicated kennel hand, who has been working at Belmont Ave Vet since 2013. Her love for all animals is evident in the caring and meticulous way she ensures their every need is met. Whether your animal is staying in the hospital or in our cattery, you can rest assured they will be kept comfortable, receive lots of attention, and be well looked after!
Robyne – Groomer
Robyne has been grooming at Belmont Ave since 2006. She is passionate about the health and happiness of all dogs, which is why she loves grooming and working closely with clients to ensure their pet is comfortable all year round.
When not grooming, Robyne enjoys teaching grooming at Polytechnic West. She counts it a privilege to educate students on how they can improve the health and well-being of their own dogs and those that come into their care.
Robyne's free time is spent running a "Poodle Cross Rescue & Re-homing Group", which gives her ample opportunity to put her grooming skills to good use, as many dogs come into care badly matted and needing lots of TLC.
Please feel free to contact Robyne to discuss how the grooming team can keep your dog looking and feeling great!
Rebecka – Groomer
Rebecka, one of our dog groomers, has been at Belmont since March 2016. She loves all animals and really enjoys her job. She has a Certificate III in Animal Studies and a Cert II in Pet Grooming. She is happy to consult with clients on their pet's grooming needs and always delivers excellent results!
Clinic Cat - Brian
Brian has lived at Belmont Avenue Vet since he was a kitten in 2010. We'd love to tell you about him, but we still haven't figured him out! His daily routine includes meowing to be let out (and if he manages to sneak out), meowing to be let back in, and just 'talking' a lot. He enjoys watching the fish as he drinks from the fishpond, teasing dogs in the waiting room, and greeting all the animals in the hospital and our cattery.
Contact us at 08 9277 4966 to explore our services and become part of our compassionate pet care family. Your pet's well-being is our priority!
