Post Operative Care

Your pet’s care does not stop once we have completed the surgery!

We know as a pet owner you will have questions after your pet’s procedure. These may include “when can he eat?”, “should I exercise her?” and “when do the stitches come out?”. Rest assured we are here to answer these and any other questions you may have.

Upon completion of surgery we will contact you with an update on how your pet is after their procedure. Depending on what has been done this may be your veterinarian or it may be one of our experienced veterinary nurses that calls you. At this time or when more suitable we will organise a time for you to come and collect your pet.

At this appointment one of our staff will once again go through what to expect from your pet after their procedure, explain any medications or special instructions, answer any questions you may have and make any recheck appointments that are required.

A detailed and customised surgery report will also be provided that reinforces everything we have done and what our post-operative recommendations are. This is a very handy reference point should you have any questions when you get home or need to explain anything to other family members.

Great, caring staff and great service.
Always happy with the way my dog is treated here. They are excellent in handling a dog that has high anxiety too.

Been taking our fur babies to the team at Karingal for 6 years now and always receive the best treatment. From the reception team, the vet nurses and vets, we always felt well cared for. They’ve always listened to our concerns thoroughly and never made us feel stupid when explaining things.I always appreciate their follow up calls to double check our pet has been feeling better and that there’s no more issues, I feel like they do genuinely care for my animals :)Also greatly appreciate the gap only claims for pet insurance, saves a lot of time and money!

We took both our greyhounds here after trying a few vets in the area and they are by far the best. So knowledgeable about the breed and so understanding and patient with their anxiety about going into the consulting rooms. It’s so nice to see your pets being taken such good care of, getting lots of pats and reassurance. Thank you so much!

I’ve seen multiple vets and nurses at this clinic since having my first puppy, and every single person has been fantastic. They really pay attention to your concerns and are really thorough with their examinations. I appreciate that they never rush me and take their time to explain things to me. As a first time puppy owner, it’s always great to have things explained in such detail. They are all so friendly and accommodating and I would have absolutely no trouble recommending this clinic to my friends or family.
