Dr Bruce Mackay has been a veterinarian for 30 years since graduating from the University of

Dr Mackay co-founded Veterinary Specialist Services with the idea of providing excellence in
veterinary medicine with a great team of specialist veterinarians all passionate about dogs and cats.
Although very keen in all aspects of internal medicine, his special interests include gastro-enterology,
endocrinology, cardiology and oncology. Bruce continues to be passionate about administering the
best possible care to the animals he is privileged to treat. A wagging tail and a grateful lick still mean
volumes to this veterinarian who has seen so many changes in his time as a veterinarian.
