Dr Stuart Mason

Dr Stuart Mason

After growing up and attending school in Kilmore, Victoria, Stuart graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1999. After two years of mixed practice work in West Gippsland Victoria, Stuart moved to a small animal practice at Monash Veterinary Clinic. Whilst working at Monash Veterinary Clinic, Stuart has developed a keen interest in Canine and Feline Theriogenology. In 2005 Stuart became a partner of the practice. Stuart has been instrumental in developing TCI (transcervical insemination) in dogs in Australia, a procedure he has been conducting since 2004. He has had excellent success with this technique, of particular note, success with breeds previously unable to conceive with frozen semen via surgical inseminations in Australia. In addition to general Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, Stuart undertakes all facets of canine and feline reproductive work, including artificial insemination with fresh, frozen and chilled semen, infertility investigations, obstetrical management, prostate disease and pyometra management in breeding animals. Stuart owns 2 cats, a Cream British Shorthair and a Domestic Shorthair, and a Bernese Mountain Dog, Newman.
