To make specialist care as seamless as possible, we offer two convenient mobile care options:

Mobile Surgery Service

Keep your pet in the familiar, trusted environment of your regular general practice clinic.

  • Our specialist surgeon travels directly to your regular vet practice to perform day-procedure surgeries.
  • Your primary vet handles the admission and post-operative recovery under the specialist's guidance.
  • You benefit from specialist expertise without making your injured pet travel to an unfamiliar environment.
Patient Transfer Service (The "Mashmobile")

If your pet requires an elective procedure but needs advanced, overnight intensive monitoring, our professional transport service can help.

  • Safe Transport: You drop your pet off at your regular vet. Our fully air-conditioned, safety-fitted transport vehicle (The Mashmobile) safely transfers them to our Ringwood hospital.
  • 24/7 Overnight Care: Following surgery, our round-the-clock emergency and critical care team monitors your pet overnight, managing their pain relief and vitals.
