First-class facilities
The Avenues’ vets and nurses at Rutherglen and Mount Florida have access to a broad range of facilities, including state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, fully-equipped operating theatres, and onsite laboratories.
Both premises have separate kennelling facilities for cats, dogs and small pets before and after surgical treatments to minimise any unnecessary stress on our patients. Our Registered Veterinary Nurses will prepare your pet for surgery, monitor anaesthesia, administer medications and take compassionate care of them following their procedure.

Most surgical treatments are performed at our Rutherglen or Mount Florida vet practices by our highly skilled and experienced veterinary surgeons. Our team recognises that in some instances, a case may be outside of their area of expertise, and will therefore refer it to a colleague who has the additional skills and qualifications required.
