Our Veterinarians

Dr Ann McGaffin
Veterinarian
Ann graduated from Melbourne University as dux of her year in 1992. She worked in several clinics around Melbourne, in country Victoria and overseas before joining the team at YVC in 2002. For many of our Yarraville Vet Clinic families Ann has looked after the health and wellbeing of their pets from their paediatric to their geriatric years, and for some of our long term clients she has done so for multiple generations of pets. Ann divides her time at the clinic between consulting and surgery and is available by appointment.
Outside of work Ann is a busy mother of five, with two gorgeous human teenagers and three mischievous (some would say naughty) furry babies. In her spare time there is nothing Ann enjoys more than sharing a wine with friends.
