Stuart grew up on a small farm in Kilmore one hour North of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Growing up Stuart always had a keen interest in animals, having sheep, cows, horses and dogs on the property while living at home with his parents. The family bred the sheep and cows, and Stuart rode the horses when he was young. This exposure to animals motivated him to pursue a career working with animals.

kokopellivet.net“Dr. Stuart Mason is one of the very few board-certified veterinary specialists in animal reproduction (theriogenology) in Australia serving the dog-breeding community. His years of experience in a busy clinical setting have set him up as one of the leading canine theriogenologists working in the field today. He not only practices excellent medicine, but publishes on it, as well, and is a sought-after speaker at international congresses. I have known Dr. Mason for many years and have often reached out to him for collaborative work or advice on difficult cases”.

I first met Dr. Stuart Mason at the 2008 International Symposium on Canine and Feline Reproduction congress in Vienna, Austria. He has always shown a keen interest in small animal theriogenology. Dr. Mason has traveled internationally as an invited presenter at veterinary conferences. He is always well-received at congresses, providing up to date and leading information for delegates, in a scientific manner yet understandable with lots of clinical experiences included in his lectures. Stuart has published a number of papers in the field of small animal theriogenology, notably on transcervical insemination (TCI), cementing his position as one of the leaders in this field. I have no hesitation recommending Stuart for any small animal reproduction requirements in Australia.
