Surgery Services
Desexing
We provide a comprehensive desexing service for both cats and dogs. Desexing—also known as spaying in females and castration in males—is our most commonly performed surgical procedure, carried out as a day surgery so your pet can return home the same evening. We usually recommend desexing around six months of age, though the timing can vary depending on your pet’s breed, growth, and overall health.
The benefits of desexing are wide ranging from preventing unwanted litters, reducing the risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases, stopping the heat cycle, and helping to manage unwanted behaviours such as roaming or aggression. Before surgery, we may recommend pre-operative blood tests, and we’ll provide clear instructions on preparation. After surgery, our team ensures your pet is supported with effective pain management, wound care advice, and follow-up checks for a safe and comfortable recovery.
Orthopaedic
Our clinic provides a full suite of orthopaedic surgical services for pets, handling bone and joint conditions from fracture repair and ligament surgery to amputations in severe cases. We perform common procedures like cranial cruciate ligament repair, as well as addressing broken bones or injuries that require reconstructive care. For complex cases such as spinal surgery, we may refer you to a specialist, but we assess each patient carefully and guide you toward the best treatment plan.
With our expertise and purpose-built surgical facilities, we’re committed to restoring mobility and quality of life for your pet.
Dentals
We understand that dental health is an essential part of your pet’s overall wellbeing. Just like people, pets can develop plaque that hardens into tartar, leading to gum disease, tooth loss, and even serious health issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Our dental services include professional cleaning under anaesthetic, thorough assessments, and tailored treatment plans using specialised equipment. We also focus on prevention, recommending regular brushing with pet-safe toothpaste, dental chews or toys, and dental-friendly diets.
By detecting and treating problems early, we can reduce discomfort, save teeth, and keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free. If you notice bad breath, red gums, difficulty eating, or drooling, we encourage you to book a dental check with our team.
Soft Tissue
At our clinic we offer a full range of soft tissue surgeries to manage many different health conditions, from tumour removal and wound repair to gastrointestinal, urinary, and organ-related procedures. We combine surgical expertise with modern equipment and strict safety protocols to ensure the highest level of care.
Each procedure is tailored to your pet’s individual needs, with our team focusing on precise technique, effective pain management, and attentive post-operative monitoring. You can feel confident knowing your pet’s surgery will be handled with skill, compassion, and support throughout their recovery.
Ophthalmic
Healthy eyes are vital to your pet’s comfort and quality of life, which is why at Beach Street Veterinary Clinic in Frankston we offer specialised ophthalmic care. Our team can diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions using advanced tools such as ophthalmoscopes and fluorescein dye testing.
We perform a variety of surgical procedures, including cherry eye repair, eyelid tumour removal, entropion and ectropion correction, corneal ulcer treatment, and, when necessary, enucleation. With a focus on preserving vision and relieving discomfort, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of eye care for your pet.
