Destination Orthopaedic & Spinal Surgery for Ipswich Pets
Uncompromised surgical care, just a straightforward 35-minute drive up the Centenary Highway.
When your pet is diagnosed with a severe condition like a cruciate ligament tear (CCL) or intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), finding a highly capable surgeon you can trust is paramount. Operating out of Bardon Veterinary Hospital, BoneVet provides Ipswich families with an independent, dedicated surgical destination.
Led by Dr. Mark Tonzing, we bridge the gap between general practice and massive corporate referral centres. We offer Ipswich pet parents evidence-based orthopaedics, elite anaesthetic safety, and complete transparency in our surgical estimates—making the drive highly worthwhile.
Why Ipswich Pet Parents 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 many local primary care clinics, Ipswich 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, auto-ventilators, and multi-modal analgesia.
