Some unique features of our ultra-modern facility include:
Intensive Care Unit
Our advanced Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides 24/7 specialized care and cutting-edge monitoring.

They are all equally committed to providing supportive care to help our patients make a full recovery.

Intermediate Care Ward
Our Intermediate Care Ward offers a nurturing environment for pets on their journey to recovery.

It serves as a transitional space where pets can experience healing in a safe, peaceful environment.
Feline-Friendly Environment
Our Kitty Ward is a tranquil and separate area exclusively for feline patients, minimizing stress and providing a calm space for their comfort and well-being. Our experienced staff is trained in feline care and understands the unique needs of cats, ensuring personalized attention, gentle handling, and individualized treatment plans.
Chromatherapy
We have incorporated chromatherapy into our wards to enhance healing and peacefulness for our patients. Chromatherapy uses color and light to promote relaxation and well-being, creating an optimal environment for your pet to recover and thrive.
