They helped bring a little comfort and kindness during an otherwise heartbreaking time. Kayla Waller08/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These ladies (and Tim!) are the best in the business in my opinion. They were so patient and loving with my boy Marvin, they were helpful and answered any and all questions I had. He was spoilt rotten with cuddles and treats and I can bet he is excited for his next visit already. Thank you to the Moffat Beach Vets team!! Janice Cain22/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first visit to your Veterinary Practice where I registered my little dog Georgie Girl. It was a wonderful experience. Dr Belinda who examined Georgie was amazing and suggested a number of things that may help towards Georgie 's wellbeing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Belinda at Moffat Beach Vets to my friends. She was so easy to talk to and Georgie was so relaxed when she was examined, which is normally unusual for her. The Vet Nurse Taylor was also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely let all my friends know about Moffat Beach Vets. deborah williams20/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Diana Kupronow19/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fur baby Bella who is a rescue hates anyone thats breathing an warm red blood running through their veins. I'm not joking. Thanks to the wonderful staff they can not only wash her but clip her nails. I have 3 fur babies an I never have to drag them in there. Powderpuff actually runs in there to greet them. The first 2 months of taking Bella to get groomed they call me to say they can't get her to come out of the cage. I kept taking her there an they finally won her over.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

What to Expect When Your Pet Needs Orthopaedic Surgery
1. Before Surgery
We offer a health consultation for your dog or cat in the days or weeks leading up to surgery. During this consultation, we complete diagnostics like x-rays (if needed) and blood work.
On the day of surgery, your pet will be given anaesthesia.
2. During Surgery
After anaesthesia is given, we perform the procedure.
The exact duration of your dog or cat’s surgery will depend on the procedure. Surgery may last anywhere from 1-6 hours.
3. After Surgery
After surgery, we’ll go over any recommendations for physical therapy, rehabilitation or medications your pet may need.
We also provide two revisits to monitor their healing process. If required, we also offer post-op x-rays.
Benefits of Orthopaedic Surgery
We work with you and your pet to ensure surgical intervention is the best treatment based on their age, lifestyle, and existing medical conditions.
If surgical intervention is right for your pet, they may benefit from:
- Pain Reduction
- Increased Mobility
- Improved quality of life

We help you understand the health care and treatment options available for your feline or canine. This includes calming care options that can be implemented before or after your visit.

What to Expect from Our Clinic


Prompt Service
We work with you and your schedule to get your pet the care they need, when they need it.

Fear Free Approach
To ensure your pet has an anxiety free visit to our clinic, we offer a range of methods and practices to help keep them feeling calm and safe.

Caring Staff
If your pet has a bad night but you still need to work in the morning, drop them off with us. Our vets will assess and care for them between regularly scheduled appointments.
Caring for Your Pet After Bone or Joint Surgery
After your pet returns home, rest will be essential to their recovery process.
Just like humans, if activity is resumed too quickly post-surgery, they risk tearing open stitches or delaying healing.
Make their recovery process as seamless as possible by administering timely doses of medication, changing their dressings, and postponing normal activity until you receive veterinary approval.
