Why Choose Our Pet Surgery Clinic In Abu Dhabi
Expertise You Can Trust
Surgical procedures at GVC are overseen by a team of specialists, including Dr Katrin Jahn, the Middle East’s only board-certified veterinary behaviourist, who holds the prestigious Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons advanced certificate in veterinary anaesthesia, and Dr Sergio, our neurology and neurosurgery expert. Their combined expertise ensures that every surgery — from routine soft tissue procedures to complex neurological operations — is performed with precision and care. Our team’s focus extends beyond technical skill: we ensure your pet feels safe and secure throughout the process.
Fear Free & Zero Pain Philosophy
We understand that surgery can be stressful for pets and owners alike. That’s why all our procedures follow the Fear Free principles, ensuring minimal stress from the moment your pet arrives. Our Zero Pain approach means that pain management is integrated at every stage — before, during, and after surgery — so your pet’s comfort is never compromised.
We also believe that owner involvement can make a difference for any procedure; as part of our Open Concept approach to care, we invite pet owners to be on site before, during and after procedures where possible.
Advanced Technology & Safety Standards
Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical facilities, advanced monitoring systems, and modern anaesthesia equipment. Every procedure is carried out following the highest international standards, ensuring both safety and superior outcomes.
Our Surgical Services
Soft Tissue Surgery
From routine spays and neuters to abdominal procedures, our soft tissue surgeries are performed with precision and care. We prioritize gentle handling and careful monitoring to reduce stress and accelerate recovery. Each surgery is supported by a personalised anaesthesia plan, tailored to your pet’s health, age, and breed.
Neurosurgery
We offer a wide range of neurological surgeries, including craniotomies, spinal surgeries and other neurosurgical interventions. With Dr Sergio leading the neurological team, pets with complex conditions receive expert care that few clinics in the region can match. Advanced imaging and intraoperative monitoring allow us to perform these procedures safely and effectively.
Veterinary Anaesthesia In Abu Dhabi
Tailored Anaesthesia Plans
Every surgical procedure at GVC begins with a comprehensive anaesthesia assessment. Our team designs an anaesthesia plan that considers your pet’s medical history, age, and stress levels, ensuring the safest possible approach.
Monitoring & Safety During Surgery
Throughout surgery, your pet’s vital signs are continuously monitored by experienced veterinary nurses. Advanced equipment tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and temperature, giving our surgeons real-time data to respond immediately to any changes. This meticulous monitoring is a cornerstone of our surgical standards.
Recovery & Aftercare
Pain Management & Comfort
Effective pain control is essential to a smooth recovery. We employ multimodal analgesia, combining medications and techniques to target pain at multiple levels. Our team also provides clear home-care instructions, helping your pet remain comfortable during the critical post-operative period.
Behaviour-Sensitive Recovery & Home Guidance
Recovery isn’t just physical — it’s emotional too. As a Fear Free clinic, we ensure your pet’s post-operative environment is calm and supportive. Behavioural guidance and environmental adjustments help reduce anxiety and encourage a smooth return to normal life.
Follow-Up Consultations
Our commitment to your pet’s health extends beyond the surgery. Follow-up consultations are scheduled to monitor healing, manage pain, and answer any questions you may have. Our team remains available to support you at every step of the recovery process.
