Orthopaedic Surgery for Dogs & Cats

Helping Pets Regain Mobility & Live Pain-Free

Orthopaedic injuries in dogs and cats can cause severe pain and limit their ability to move freely. Whether due to joint issues, fractures, or ligament tears, timely treatment is essential to restore your pet’s mobility and quality of life. In many cases, orthopaedic surgery is the most effective solution for long-term recovery.

At Animal Trust, we perform hundreds of orthopaedic procedures each year, including:

• Cruciate ligament repair (TPLO, TTA, and closing wedge techniques)
• Fracture repairs and bone stabilisation
• Joint fusions for chronic joint conditions
• Advanced orthopaedic treatments for complex injuries

Our team is dedicated to ensuring your pet receives the best possible orthopaedic care at an affordable cost.
