Success

A veterinary referral hospital designed to provide high quality advanced and specialist care for family pets. At WAVES, we believe that your pets are family and should receive the same level of care that you would expect the human members of your family to receive in hospital. Our staff are friendly, dedicated, compassionate and highly knowledgeable veterinarians and nurses who aim to provide the highest level of care for pets. WAVES offers a range of specialist referral services which includes surgery, medicine, emergency and critical care and diagnostic imaging.
