Consultations
Fifteen-minute consultations allow thorough examinations and discussion of pet health concerns. Our veterinarians create customized treatment plans using the latest medical options. Extended 30-minute sessions are available for complex cases, ensuring comprehensive care planning and owner education about diagnosis and treatment options.
Desexing
Surgical sterilization procedures prevent reproduction while offering health benefits. We perform castrations for males and spaying for females, typically recommending intervention between 4-6 months of age. The service includes pre-operative assessments, pain management, and post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery and long-term health benefits.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia address tartar removal and gum disease. Our services include ultrasonic scaling, tooth polishing, and extractions when necessary. We provide post-operative dental care guidance and preventative strategies like tooth brushing instruction and dietary recommendations to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Soft Tissue Surgery
We perform various non-orthopedic surgical procedures including lump removals, wound repairs, and abdominal surgeries. Pre-operative biopsies help determine tumor malignancy, guiding surgical planning. Post-operative histopathology analysis ensures complete tumor removal while our surgical suite supports complex soft tissue interventions with modern equipment and monitoring.
Orthopedics
Our surgical capabilities include fracture repairs and joint treatments. Complex cases like cruciate ligament repairs or spinal surgeries receive specialist referrals while routine orthopedic procedures benefit from our experienced team and equipped surgical facilities.
