Advanced Orthopaedics for Stafford Pets
High-end joint and spinal surgery, just a quick trip across the inner-north.
Running and playing along the Kedron Brook off-leash areas keeps Stafford dogs fit, but sudden stops or twists can lead to devastating cruciate ligament injuries. Rather than relying on massive corporate referral hospitals, BoneVet provides Stafford families with an independent, dedicated surgical destination in Bardon.
Led by Dr. Mark Tonzing, we bridge the gap between general practice and large referral centres, offering evidence-based orthopaedics with transparent pricing, elite safety protocols, and deeply compassionate care.
Why Stafford 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.
MIPO Fracture Management
Our surgical theatre is fully equipped with premium locking plate systems to manage complex bone fractures with minimally invasive techniques.
Independent Second Opinions
If your primary vet has recommended surgery, you can book directly with us for an evidence-based second opinion and a clear surgical estimate.
