It is necessary to pre-book your pet’s operation. It is important to us to schedule enough time for each operation, to allow that your pet always receives optimal care. We usually need only a few days’ notices. Routine operations are scheduled from Mondays to Fridays.

Please familiarize yourself with our policy regarding Procedure Bookings
