Our Story
Lennox Head Vet Clinic has been proudly serving the Lennox community since 2001, caring for pets and their families with compassion, skill, and dedication.
In 2025, the clinic entered an exciting new chapter with Dr Kristen Gunn at the helm. Kristen has been part of our team since 2019, and brings over 20 years of experience in both general practice and emergency medicine. Her calm, thoughtful approach - paired with a genuine love for pets and people alike - reflects the heart of what we do.
At Lennox Head Vet Clinic, we’re passionate about delivering evidence-based, up-to-date veterinary care. Our entire team is committed to ongoing learning and professional development, ensuring that we continue to offer the highest standard of medicine and surgery at every stage of your pet’s life. Alongside this, our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities, allowing us to provide the highest standard of care - from routine health checks, to complex surgical and medical cases. We also embrace integrative approaches, weaving in holistic options where appropriate to support the whole health and wellbeing of your pet.
Our team is at the heart of what makes this clinic unique. Some of our veterinary nurses have been with us for ~15 years, offering not only a wealth of experience, but also a strong bond with our patients and community. Their long-standing commitment brings consistency, compassion, and a sense of familiarity that pets and families recognise the moment they arrive.
Now based right in the heart of downtown Lennox Head, our new clinic keeps us closely connected to the community we love. As locals ourselves, we’re proud to provide veterinary care that combines modern medicine with genuine understanding of the pets and people who call Lennox and the Northern Rivers home.
