Our team specialises in surgically treating injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, including all types of soft tissue surgery for dogs and cats. We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for pets and their owners by alleviating pain, restoring function and stability, and improving range of motion.

We offer comprehensive orthopaedic and soft tissue evaluations, diagnostics, and treatment options. Additionally, we provide preventive care for joint and muscle diseases and improve overall function through regular screenings, including state-of-the-art gait analysis for lameness.

Our Specialist Anaesthetists collaborate closely with the surgery team to ensure safe procedures and effective pain management. We also offer additional integrated services in internal medicine, dermatology, diagnostic imaging, emergency, and critical care.

UVTHS offers consultations and the development of therapeutic plans by a board-certified sports medicine and rehabilitation specialist, Dr Wendy Baltzer (American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation).
