Pet Surgery

 

In addition to performing all routine surgeries such as neutering, lump removals, abscess drainage, etc., our veterinary surgical specialists have extensive experience in advanced surgical procedures, having seen thousands over the years. Because of our success in technically challenging surgery, The Veterinary Hospital receives referral work from all over the UAE and the Gulf.
