We are able to offer advanced cancer staging through biopsies, cytology, ultrasound and digital radiology. Once diagnosed and staged, we can consult with you on the best treatment for your pet. We offer a complete range of chemotherapy treatments with up to date knowledge and drugs.
Dental Treatment
We pride ourselves at offering exceptional dental care with the full IM3 dental suite including a fibre optic high speed drill, ultrasonic scaler and all the dental instruments needed for dogs, cat and little rodents.
Feline Medicine
At Drovers Vet Hospital we recognise that your cat is not just a small dog. We have a separate cat waiting area and a dedicated cat consult room and ward. We have been accredited as a Cat Friendly Clinic by the International Society for Feline Medicine and Dr van Boeijen has further qualifications in Feline Medicine with the ANZCVS by Membership examination.
General Surgery
Our separate, sterile surgery allows us to perform most advanced surgical procedures. We also perform all routine sterilisation surgeries of most species, including rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs.
Giving medicine to your cat (How to Pill a Cat)

Laboratory
With the rapid development of technology on many fronts, veterinary medicine has also benefited. Being able to offer an “in-house” laboratory service is now a reality. This technology comes in various forms, sizes and abilities. At Drovers Veterinary Hospital, we are pleased to be able to offer a full range of in-house diagnostics.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a common, safe procedure which is routinely performed at our clinic in both cats and dogs. A microchip is a tiny Radio Frequency Identification Device, which can be implanted in an animal for identification purposes. They resemble a small, metallic grain of rice in appearance.
Orthopaedic Surgery
Broken bones and cruciate ligament problems are the most common orthopaedic problems encountered in veterinary practice. Being able to offer these latest treatments and surgeries in a veterinary facility is vital. Application of plates and screws for fractures, external fixation devices, cruciate ligament repair (TPLO and TTA surgery) and knee cap surgery are just some of the orthopaedic surgical procedures we are capable of providing at Drovers Vet Hospital.
Radiography
At Drovers Vet Hospital, we use advanced state-of-the-art diagnostic digital x-ray equipment to allow us to thoroughly assess your pet for disease diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Ultrasound
Many of the vets now at Drovers Vet Hospital have completed post graduate study or courses in ultrasound and can perform most ultrasound examinations. Our investment in this service goes beyond our veterinary knowledge base – we have invested in a high end Siemens X300 ultrasound unit, with both advanced cardiac (heart) and abdominal (stomach and other organs) software.
