Fulham Gardens Animal Hospital – Pets and their People

Pets and Their People is a multi-location veterinary group rooted in Adelaide with clinics at Fulham Gardens, Unley and Wayville, founded by Alan Dalgarno, Veronica Wah Day and Peter Hangartner in 1998. They focus on the bond between pets and owners and aim to improve the lives of both through compassionate, personalised veterinary care. The team offers flexible clinic hours (early morning to evening with some weekend openings), housecall services, and online booking and safety protocols introduced during COVID-19 to make visits easier for owners. Facilities include modern diagnostic tools such as an in-house laboratory and imaging (x-ray and ultrasound), and the practice emphasises safe anaesthesia and ongoing staff training. Core services cover routine consultations, vaccinations, microchipping, desexing, puppy pre-school, dental care, and preventative treatments like heartworm injections, plus medical management for conditions such as allergies, diabetes and more. They also provide soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, recovery and rehabilitation, pain management including acupuncture, canine myofunctional therapy (dog massage), geriatric care, emergency and critical care, and end-of-life support. The organisation highlights strong communication, personalised treatment plans, professional development, and has received recognitions including AVA Employer of Choice (2022), Lincoln Leadership Accreditation (2018–2024) and Australia’s Best Led Practice (2019).
