"PART OF THE FAMILY IN EVERYWAY"

Stabler and Howlett Veterinary Surgeons have been part of the Mackay district since 1976, when Dr Graham Stabler (retired) and Dr Bruce Howlett (Snr) began operations.

Our current North Mackay clinic opened in 2005, after moving from a small clinic in Hodder Street. This clinic is a purpose built clinic.

Our BRAND NEW clinic at Ooralea opened in 2011, after the old building was demolished and with a modern Veterinarian Clinic.

Stabler and Howlett also have clinics in Mirani, which operates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and a clinic in Glenden which operates once or twice monthly. Our veterinarians also travel to properties to provide Veterinary services for cattle and horse, including breeding, surgery and medical examinations.
