Outcome-oriented treatments
Our team believes in obtaining the best outcome for your pet. This may not always involve surgery. Our philosophy is to deliver the best outcome possible for your pet with the least amount of surgical risk.
Ultimate pet comfort
To enhance your pet’s emotional well-being, our clinic is purpose-built with Fear Free ® principles. To further reduce anxiety, we recommend you bring in your pet’s favourite toy and or blanket so they have a familiar smell of home.
Calm, clinical excellence
We don’t schedule too many surgeries each day. Our team likes to dedicate as much time as needed to your pet. Our consults are up to one hour long. We take time in devising the best surgical plan, often with discussions between our surgeons. Our experienced surgical team performs each surgery precisely, calmly and quietly.
Your pet is never left alone
During anaesthesia recovery, our lovely surgical nurse sits with your pet (and offers plenty of cuddles) so they are never alone. Your pet also wakes up in a temperature-controlled room with the sole focus being a stress-free recovery.
We play your pet’s music
At admission, we’ll find out what music your pet prefers and what would make them more comfortable. We will then play their favourite music during anaesthetic recovery so there is the sound of home.
No separation anxiety
Most pets go home with multimodal pain relief on the same day of surgery. This avoids separation anxiety from you and expensive after-hours care.
Multimodal pain relief
We give a lot of attention to each patient’s comfort after surgery. Pain relief starts before surgery with a nerve block to numb the surgical site. This lasts well into the postoperative period. Three weeks of pain relief are provided for most patients as part of each package.
Four physio sessions included
Four physio sessions are included in each orthopaedic package to restore mobility quickly and safeguard against further injuries.
Strong post-op recovery
It is important your pet makes a powerful recovery after surgery. Our physio sessions use Game Ready ® treatment to reduce swelling. Additionally, Class IV Laser Therapy reduces pain and swelling, increases blood circulation and accelerates healing.
