Expert Veterinary Orthopaedics Near Chapel Hill
Destination surgical care for active, bushland-adjacent pets.
Living in the undulating foothills of Mount Coot-tha gives Chapel Hill pets an incredibly active lifestyle. However, navigating steep backyard gradients and bushland trails significantly increases the risk of cruciate ligament tears and joint trauma. Located just a short drive away, BoneVet is uniquely equipped to repair those injuries.
We bridge the gap between primary care and specialist referral, providing hospital-grade diagnostics and advanced orthopaedic repairs without the rigid, impersonal protocols of a multi-tiered corporate network.
Advanced Surgery for Chapel Hill:
Cruciate Reconstruction (TPLO)
We let the science guide the surgery. TPLO is considered the absolute gold standard for cranial cruciate ligament tears, yielding superior long-term outcomes.
On-Site Diagnostic Imaging
Our surgical suites are supported by immediate, high-definition 40kW digital radiography, meaning your pet is assessed and treated without bouncing between facilities.
Compassionate Consultations
Surgery is stressful. Dr. Tonzing takes the time to carefully explain the biomechanics of the injury and the treatment options so you can choose the best plan.
