Clinic Overview

Tarivets describes itself as an independent veterinary practice set up for first-opinion small animal care plus referrals in ophthalmology, soft tissue surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and dermatology, with an exotics department also taking first-opinion and referral cases. Recent reviews give concrete examples of same-day problem-solving and surgery (a dog fitted in immediately for pyometra surgery; an eye emergency operated on “that night”), plus frequent progress updates and clear explanations during treatment. Owners also mention the waiting area has separate spaces for different animals, and that nervous dogs were handled in a way that kept them calmer than usual.
