Elite Veterinary Surgery, Neighbouring Red Hill
Uncompromised orthopaedic and spinal care, operating just up Waterworks Road.
The notoriously steep inclines of Red Hill provide an amazing cardiovascular workout for local dogs, but that gradient significantly increases the risk of cruciate ligament tears. When surgery is required, the very best in veterinary orthopaedics is directly adjacent to you. Operating out of Bardon Veterinary Hospital, BoneVet provides our neighbours with immediate access to elite surgical procedures.
Led by Dr. Mark Tonzing, we manage severe traumas, complex joint diseases, and soft-tissue surgeries with uncompromising medical rigour—all without the need to travel to a distant referral hub.
Your Local Surgical Destination:
Gold-Standard 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.
Elite Anaesthetic Monitoring
Every surgical patient is supported by advanced anaesthetic machines with integrated multi-parameter monitors and auto-ventilators, delivering uncompromised respiratory safety.
Direct, Unrestricted Access
As an immediate neighbour, you can book a surgical consultation or second opinion directly with Dr. Tonzing—no formal referral required.
