While many local clinics refer complex cases elsewhere, we have invested in the high-level equipment and senior surgical expertise required to perform advanced procedures right here in our purpose-built facility.
With over 30 years of experience in orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery, our team is dedicated to restoring your pet’s mobility and quality of life through precise, compassionate care.
We specialise in treating disorders of the bones, joints, and ligaments. Our senior surgeons are highly experienced in:
The gold-standard surgical treatment for cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) ruptures in dogs.
Correcting kneecaps that "slip" out of place to prevent long-term arthritis.
Using advanced plating and pinning techniques to ensure bones heal with proper alignment.
Providing various surgical options tailored to your pet's size and activity level.
From routine procedures to life-saving interventions, our surgical suites are equipped for:
We understand that surgery can be a stressful time for pet parents. We have designed our protocols to mirror the safety standards of specialist human hospitals:
Advanced Monitoring: We use modern ECG, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure monitoring to track vital signs in real-time.
Patient Comfort: Our surgery tables are hydraulic and heated to keep your pet warm and stable during their procedure.
Sterile Environments: We maintain strict sterile protocols, with a dedicated dental suite separate from our sterile surgery rooms to prevent cross-contamination.
Multimodal Pain Management: Every patient receives a tailored pain relief plan, often including pre-operative sedation to ensure they wake up calm and comfortable.
Our commitment to your pet doesn't end when they leave the theatre. We provide:
On-site Hospitalisation: Spacious accommodation for post-surgical monitoring.
Comprehensive Discharge Plans: Clear instructions for home care, medication, and follow-up physiotherapy advice.
Rehabilitation Support: Future-ready facilities, including a hydrobath for geriatric and post-surgical physiotherapy.
