Specialist Mobile Vet Surgeons

MARS brings highly trained specialist vet surgeons directly to your clinic, delivering advanced soft tissue procedures with specialist equipment and expertise.

Mobile soft tissue procedures for pets

MARS provides access to specialist soft tissue surgery through our mobile vet surgeons who travel directly to referring clinics across Melbourne. This service allows your patients to receive advanced surgical care in their familiar environment, reducing stress while maintaining specialist standards.

What is soft tissue surgery?

Soft tissue surgery involves procedures on structures other than bones or the nervous system. These surgeries range from routine to highly complex, often requiring the skills of a specialist vet surgeon.

Our mobile vet surgeons give clinics access to referral-level soft tissue surgery without the need to transfer patients. Using state-of-the-art mobile equipment and strict infection control protocols, we deliver advanced surgical care in the comfort of your clinic.

Common procedures offered through our mobile vet Melbourne surgeons include:

✔ Abdominal surgery (gastrointestinal, urinary tract, liver)

✔ Respiratory surgery (airway, lungs, diaphragm)

✔ Tumour and mass removal

✔ Reconstructive and wound surgery

✔ Minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures

For clinics needing trusted mobile vet services near you, MARS provides specialist surgeons who perform complex procedures on-site, supported by the same expertise as our hospital-based team.
