About us

The Mornington Vet Clinic has been caring for the pets of Mornington Peninsula and its surrounds for over 40 years. Our staff thoroughly enjoy the relaxed family environment of our clinic, and being able to develop close bonds with our clients and their companions.

Dr. Adam Stefani started working at Mornington Vet Clinic in January 2003. After experiencing other larger multi-vet practices, he instantly came to appreciate the close client bonds and level of care he was able to provide at this small personal clinic.

Adam purchased the clinic in 2008, and after the lease ran-out on Main Street in December 2009, moved to his new purposely fitted-out clinic in the safer and quieter location within Mornington Industrial Park. In this new fully equipped clinic, he can offer the highest level of Veterinary care at the same time as keeping the clinic the small and personal environment that is truly enjoyable.

Adam has a special interest in orthopaedic cases and regularly performs TPLOs and ECRs for patients with cruciate injuries.

Adam’s Italian greyhound Henry and kelpie Jet often join us at the clinic.
