My dog was diagnosed with mammary gland cancer and needed to have all her mammary glands removed. Was quoted $3000 by the local vet then was recommended Dr Michael Bell at Craigieburn Animal hospital. Took my girl there, was quoted approx $1000! Booked her in, operation went fine, she recovered really well and quickly, drain and stitch removal -2 separate visits- were part of the initial cost so no extra charge. My dog had little to no pain after the opp, and as I said made a great recovery, even though shes a large breed and approx 11 years now! Very impressed and happy! Even though he's about 35 minutes away he's now my vet. Highly recommended!
