Much Loved Bowen Vet Service Opening In Proserpine

Greater Whitsunday Vet Services has been operating as a mobile clinic since 2020 and from their current Bowen clinic since 2021, with the new location in Proserpine expected to open soon.

The mobile service ensures everybody from, Glenden to Collinsville, Proserpine, Cannonvale, Bloomsbury, and Calen, can have access to a qualified vet.

After successfully operating a clinic in Bowen for three years, owner Jason Mansfield, saw increased demand in the Proserpine and Cannonvale area.

In June this year he purchased 52 Main Street in Proserpine and plans to open a newly renovated clinic this year.

Practice Manager Georgia Bowser said she is excited for the opening of the new clinic in Proserpine, but the building must undergo a complete renovation first.

“Basically everything has to be done, internal walls, adding new sinks, plumbing, adding power points - there’s a lot to do!” said Georgia.

The building at 52 Main Street used to be the historic Commonwealth bank building and ocal trades people are currently in the building doing a full fit out, after the historic commonwealth bank building was completely gutted to make way for the new look clinic.

Owner Jason Mansfield said Greater Whitsunday Vet Services do not limit themselves to only treating small animals, they treat large animals too, they even have client who owns a camel!

“We are a mixed practice veterinary clinic offering advice and services to all animals great and small,” said Jason.

“We have a high emphasis on patient care and client experience. We are a little bit different to the normal vet, as we continue to strive and innovate the industry with fresh ideas and new approaches to patient care.

“We resonate well with people who have a love for wanting the best for their animals.

“For our equine clients we are always on the lookout to invest in new technology and skills that will help us reach conclusions faster and on the move.

“This is the same for our cattle producers who are already innovative people and constantly striving to look after their animals and better their herd performance year on year.”
