Advanced Orthopaedic Surgery for Forest Lake Pets
Destination surgical care, just a straight drive up the Centenary Highway.
Daily walks around the lake keep Forest Lake dogs active and healthy, but when complex joint injuries like cruciate ligament tears strike, finding the right surgical expertise is critical. BoneVet provides the south-western suburbs with an independent, highly capable surgical destination in nearby Bardon.
Rather than navigating massive corporate referral hospitals, Dr. Mark Tonzing offers evidence-based orthopaedics, elite anaesthetic safety, and transparent surgical estimates in a highly personalised setting.
Why Forest Lake Locals Choose BoneVet:
Gold-Standard TPLO
We routinely perform Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) for active dogs, ensuring the most robust, reliable, and rapid return to full limb function.
Direct, Unrestricted Access
While we partner with local primary care clinics, Forest Lake owners can book a second-opinion surgical consultation directly with us—no formal referral required.
Elite Anaesthetic Safety
We refuse to compromise on safety. Every procedure is supported by advanced anaesthetic machines with integrated multi-parameter monitors and multi-modal analgesia.
