Medicine run by protocol.
A multi-specialty veterinary practice for cases in which standards, assessment and predictable clinical quality matter. We do not compete on price or on a relaxed atmosphere — we compete on disciplined procedure.

Why this hospital exists
Built for cases that do not forgive improvisation.
Most health problems can be resolved at a good first-opinion practice. We were founded for the rest: complex, surgical and interdisciplinary cases — and for owners who expect the same level of rigour from veterinary medicine as from human medicine.
Every clinical decision here has its “why”: it is based on the history, the examination, reference values and the protocol in force. As a result, the quality of care does not depend on the day of the week or on who happens to be on duty.
We are not the cheapest. We are not the most relaxed. We are the most demanding — of ourselves.

Standards of practice
Safety is not a declaration.
Safety is not a declaration.
It is a procedure.
Six protocols apply to every veterinarian, with every patient, every time. It is these — not promises — that distinguish a referral hospital from a first-opinion practice.
STD-01 · ANAESTHESIOLOGYmandatory
Pre-anaesthetic assessment
No procedure under general anaesthesia takes place without prior assessment: a clinical examination, blood tests and an ASA risk assessment. The anaesthetic plan is chosen individually — not “as standard for the species”.
STD-02 · MONITORINGmandatory
Intra-operative monitoring
Vital signs — oxygen saturation, capnography, ECG, blood pressure, temperature — are monitored by a dedicated person throughout the procedure and recovery. The record is added to the patient's medical records.
STD-03 · CHECKLISTmandatory
Procedure checklist
Before the incision, the team goes through a checklist modelled on human surgery: patient identity, surgical site and side, equipment, medicines, a plan for complications. A routine that eliminates “obvious” errors.
STD-04 · ANALGESIAmandatory
Pain management — multimodal
We assess pain on structured scales and treat it pre-emptively, combining several mechanisms of action. The patient's comfort is a clinical parameter, not a courtesy.
STD-05 · ASEPSISmandatory
Sterility protocol
Two operating theatres with separate purposes, airlocks, instrument sterilisation with biological and chemical monitoring, and an audited flow of materials — according to fixed, written procedures.
STD-06 · CONTINUITYmandatory
Medical records and handover of care
Every patient has a digital record: results, recommendations, a record of decisions. Handover between veterinarians and between shifts is structured — clinical information does not get lost “along the way”.
We update our protocols on the basis of guidelines from specialist societies and a review of our own cases. A standard that cannot be maintained with every patient is not a standard.
Read all the standards in detail
Specialist structure
One practice. Fourteen specialties. One shared patient.
Our specialties are not a list of services — they are departments of a single referral practice. A complex case is led by a specialist veterinarian in that field, and consultations between specialties take place within the team, without sending the owner “somewhere else”.
Prevention and general medicine
Routine visits, vaccinations, periodic check-ups and preparing the patient for a procedure — the foundation on which every further clinical decision rests.
07 services →Internal medicine
Chronic and multi-organ disease: digestive, respiratory, urinary and endocrine systems — with targeted diagnostics rather than “trial-and-error” treatment.
06 services →Soft tissue surgery
Abdominal, thoracic and soft tissue procedures — planned and life-saving — in two operating theatres, following written protocols.
18 services →Orthopaedics and joint surgery
Fractures, ruptured ligaments, patellar luxation and dysplasia — from imaging, through the procedure, to a plan for returning to full activity.
07 services →Cardiology
Echocardiography, ECG, blood pressure measurement and management of cardiac patients — including cardiac assessment before anaesthesia.
06 services →Oncology
Diagnosis, staging and treatment of tumours — with a clearly explained prognosis and a plan the owner understands.
07 services →Dentistry
Periodontal disease, extractions, oral injuries — procedures under general anaesthesia with full monitoring.
06 services →Dermatology and allergology
Itching, hair loss, recurrent ear infections — differential diagnosis instead of yet another “trial-and-error” ointment.

Patient pathway
From first contact to follow-up — no improvisation.
Every patient follows the same seven-stage pathway. At every point the owner knows which stage their animal is at, what is happening and why.
STAGE1 / 7
01
Registration and triage
Every enquiry is classified by urgency. A life-threatening condition goes to the front of the queue — this is not a matter of discretion, it is a rule.
1 · Immediate
2 · Urgent
3 · Semi-urgent
4 · Planned
02
History and clinical examination
A structured history and a full examination — even when the problem “seems obvious”. Initial differential diagnoses are recorded in the patient’s record.
03
Targeted diagnostics
We choose tests to match the clinical hypotheses: laboratory, imaging, endoscopy. Results are compared with reference values and discussed with the owner.
Laboratory
X-ray · Ultrasound
Endoscopy
04
Treatment plan and pre-procedure assessment
The owner receives a plan with options, risks and costs — before making a decision, not after. A patient undergoing a procedure has a pre-anaesthetic assessment (STD-01).
05
Procedure or therapy
The team works from the procedure checklist, with continuous monitoring of vital signs and multimodal pain management (STD-02 — STD-04).
06
Hospitalisation and monitoring
An in-patient has an observation chart with parameters recorded at fixed intervals. The status — stable, under observation, critical — is unambiguous for the whole team.
Stable
Under observation
Critical condition
07
Discharge, instructions, follow-up
Discharge is a document: diagnosis, procedures performed, medication, follow-up plan. The referring veterinarian receives a full summary — continuity of care does not end at our door.
Clinical facilities
Infrastructure ready for a difficult case.
Standards cannot be maintained without the right facilities. Our 600 m² was designed around the patient pathway: from separate reception areas, through the operating suite, to an in-patient hospital with monitoring.

Two theatres, separate purposes
Separate theatres for clean surgery and other procedures reduce the risk of infection. Each has a full anaesthesia station: capnography, pulse oximetry, ECG, blood pressure, patient warming.
Aseptic protocol according to STD-05
Imaging
Digital X-ray · Ultrasound
On-site diagnostic imaging, with the report set in the clinical context of the patient — rather than sending images out “blind”.
Endoscopy
Veterinary endoscope
Minimally invasive diagnostics of the digestive and respiratory tracts, and removal of foreign bodies without opening the body cavities.
Laboratory
On-site laboratory
Blood count, biochemistry and urgent tests available straight away — we know critical values within minutes, not days.
The results of discipline
We do not promise quality. We measure it.
Professional ethics forbid promising a cure — and rightly so. That is why we show what really reflects quality: consistency of process.
100%procedures under general anaesthesia preceded by a pre-anaesthetic assessment
100%procedures performed with a checklist and continuous monitoring of parameters
30 yearsof uninterrupted practice — since 1996
100%patients with a digital record: results, decisions and instructions in one place
The content is for information only and is not a promise of a treatment outcome. The prognosis in a specific case is always discussed individually, based on an examination of the patient.
Team of specialists
Decisions are made by specialist veterinarians.
We do not employ “vets who do everything”. Each specialty has a lead veterinarian, and interdisciplinary cases are discussed as a team — in one building, over one patient record.
