About us
At Sugarland Animal Hospital, we’ve been caring for Bundaberg’s animals for over 18 years, building strong relationships with both pet owners and farming clients across the region.

It’s such a relief to actually enjoy coming to work, love our team, love our hospital, and love our clients! – Mykeala – Team member
