Dr James Mutton BVSc, BSc

James was born in Adelaide and grew up in the Riverland. He completed his secondary education at Prince Alfred College in Adelaide and then completed a Bachelor of Science Degree at Flinders University. He then travelled to New Zealand where he completed his degree in Veterinary Science at Massey University.

For two years he ran the Millicent Veterinary Practice where he enjoyed the variety and challenges of a mixed practice. He particularly enjoys surgery and cattle work, but also has a passion for helping clients with all of their animals. Fortunately for us he was looking to become part of a practice that was closer to Adelaide and joined us in 2006.

He is currently studying his Masters in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery which means he is very up to date with the very latest in diagnostic medicine and surgical techniques for all small animals.

In his spare time he enjoys playing golf and night owls lawn bowls.
