Western Equine Veterinary Services (WEVS) are dedicated local horse veterinarians servicing Werribee, Bacchus Marsh, and their surrounding districts. Along with our predecessor practice (Dr Ray Horsey and Associates) we have been delivering experience, honesty and genuine care to the horses of Melbourne’s west for over 45 years. We now also provide limited mobile small animal services during business hours (unfortunately we cannot offer these services after hours).
