Advanced Pet Surgery for The Gap
Uncompromised surgical care for highly active, bushland-adjacent pets.
As the gateway to Mount Coot-tha and D’Aguilar National Park, dogs in The Gap live incredibly active, adventurous lives. However, navigating rough, mountainous terrain drastically increases the risk of cruciate ligament tears and traumatic joint injuries. BoneVet provides the north-west corridor with an independent, dedicated surgical destination right next door in Bardon.
We firmly believe that accessing highly advanced surgical care shouldn’t mean losing the personal, trusted touch of an independent veterinary team that truly knows you and your pet.
Dedicated Surgical Care for 4061:
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.
Spinal Surgery (IVDD)
We are equipped to treat severe spinal pathologies, including emergency spinal decompression for intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) in the neck and back.
Direct Access
Pet parents in The Gap can book a surgical consultation directly with Dr. Tonzing, bypassing the standard corporate referral waiting periods.
