Skilled Surgical Care

At both our Rose Avenue and Toormina clinics, we combine advanced surgical facilities with a highly skilled and compassionate veterinary team to provide your pet with expert care before, during, and after surgery.


Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery

From routine desexings and lump removals to more complex procedures such as exploratory laparotomies, splenectomies, and liver lobectomies. Our experienced surgeons have the expertise to manage a wide range of soft tissue surgeries safely and effectively. We also offer brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) surgery for breeds such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers. Helping them breathe more easily and live more comfortably. Our modern theatres are equipped with top-of-the-line anaesthetic and monitoring equipment to ensure your pet’s safety throughout.


Specialized Orthopaedic Surgery

Our veterinary surgeons have a keen interest in orthopaedics, offering advanced procedures including fracture repairs, luxating patella corrections, and cruciate ligament reconstructions. We use proven techniques such as De Angelis, Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA), and Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) to help your pet regain mobility and quality of life. Our care doesn’t stop there. We follow your pet through their recovery with physiotherapy recommendations and frequent rechecks to ensure the best possible healing.


Compassionate Post-Operative Care

Your pet’s comfort and recovery are our priorities. We provide attentive monitoring and clear, regular updates throughout their recovery, so you’re always informed and supported. Our team is here to answer your questions and guide you and your pet every step of the way.

Incredible Staff and Vet hospital.Brought my GS puppy in to the team at Rose Ave Vet for her first check up + treatment: with the usual nervousness of an unknown new place. From the moment we arrived they welcomed us in, immediately sensing what my puppy needed, and from there exceeded my expectations in making her feel safe, cared for and welcome. The team were all seamlessly professional, personal and lovely human beings who provided excellent advice and information and treated my puppy with care and gentleness that helped her so much to enjoy the experience. It was a pleasure to meet them, it could not have gone more perfect and I really appreciate their expertise and personalities. I feel confident this is a wonderful Vets for my dogs care for the many years of her life to come, I have no doubts this the case the so many animals in their care. Highly recommend.

Had a minor emergency with my dog’s eye. They were able to juggle things around so they could fit him in within just a couple of hours. The consult was caring and professional and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

From the moment I called Rose Avenue Vets and spoke to Sophie about my boy Cheeko's IVDD diagnosis from another practice, I knew I was going to be in great hands. 🙌 But, oh my goodness, she went above and beyond that day, getting us seen by the amazing Dr. Emma. 💖 Where others had all but given up on him, you stood by us, giving me every bit of comfort in my decision. Thank you so much to Rose Avenue from all my boys and myself. 🙏 It sure has been a rollercoaster ride, but we know we are all in great hands with you all. 🐾 #Veterinarian #Care #Support #Gratitude #Team

Absolutely amazing experience with Dr.Michael and Sophie who were both just lovely. Having just moved my Great Dane Zeus from Canada I was concerned when he suddenly presented with a huge swollen hock. Fearing a bite I called in a panic on New Years Eve and they immediately fit us in. They took every precaution and took such great care of Zeus. I would highly recommend the amazing team at Rose Ave Vet in Coffs Harbour. Thank you from the Hayes Family 💕. Sophie also followed up a few days after our visit to check Zeus’s progress. Very thorough and so genuinely friendly. Love this place and going back for recheck in a few days.

Emma and the crew are such lovely people and treat Hugo and myself like part of the family. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Emma also finally cured our chronic ear infections! No trouble for over 6 mths and counting! Soph needs a special mention, she was amazing with both my dogs and helped us through many a hard time. Hugo just loves her.

My gorgeous girl Betty is a new patient of Dr Emma at Rose Avenue Vet. The standard of service and care exceeds all of our previous experiences since moving to Coffs. The clinic staff are friendly and show genuine interest, they even called the next day to check if Betty was feeling ok after her vaccinations. Dr Emma was friendly, caring and professional. I am very happy to have Betty under her care.

Rose Avenue is the most caring vet practice I've ever taken my furbabies to. It's a family practice, so unlike corporates, it's not a revolving door of vets who are unfamiliar with your pets. Very caring, friendly and they are clear upfront about costs. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I am delighted to provide a review for the lovely people at Rose Avenue Veterinary Clinic. The people who work there namely Michael, Sophie and many others are dedicated to what they do and they are so caring. Bella, my cat, wasn't pleased to be there and I am sure she let them know. My heart goes out to the skill, love and caring of the staff at Rose Avenue.

Excellent care for my cat, as well as my parent's dogs. They always let me wash my hands in the employee bathroom because I have problems with germophobia when carrying the family dog in (I am the sort to wash my hands after pats). They have been carefully monitoring the condition of my cat (who has a strange spot on her eye) and have been performing corrective surgery on my father's puppy (who struggles to see due to very wrinkly skin)

Hi Emma and Soph. A huge heartfelt thank you Emma for your support, professionalism, perseverance and kindness in diagnosing and treating our dog Herbie, who is highly anxious and extremely snappy when it comes to anyone trying to touch him or help him with his ear infections. Emma was absolutely amazing in every aspect of treating Herbie and her professionalism and love towards Herbie was truly appreciated. Thank you Emma! You are truly amazing and have such a gift with animals!

I wish they did human medical too! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my cocker spaniel, Winnie. Every single staff member at Rose Avenue Veterinary Clinic is incredibly kind and caring , they treat my puppy as though she were their own. Sophie at the front desk always offers the warmest welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Their communication while Winnie was being desexed, including photos and updates throughout the day, made me feel completely at ease. We are so thankful to have found such a friendly and supportive vet clinic. I highly recommend them, even to those from out of town!

From the moment we walked through the door, the team at Rose Avenue Veterinary Hospital treated our dog like absolute royalty. Winne usually gets a little nervous at the vet, but somehow this magical group of humans turned what’s normally a stressful experience into a tail-wagging adventure!Sophie at front desk greeted us with the biggest smiles (and treats Winnie noticed that part immediately). The technicians were patient, gentle, and genuinely loved our dog like their own. And the veterinarian? Wow. Knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly thorough, they took the time to explain every detail and made sure we understood everything from start to finish. You could just tell they care about animals on a whole different level.Our dog walked out of there happier than when we arrived (how is that even possible at a vet especially after anaesthetic?!). The whole experience made us feel like we were visiting friends who just happen to be superheroes for animals.Thank you to the entire team — you’ve earned lifelong fans in both us and Winnie.
