At MediPaws, we’re committed to supporting our exceptional veterinary team with world-class facilities. Our purpose-built 24-hour hospital is equipped to deliver the most advanced treatment options available, while our facilities have been designed from the ground up to create a calming and comfortable environment for pets and families. From dedicated cat and dog entrances to tailored rehabilitation zones and cosy relaxation areas, every detail is built with care.
Many cats are sensitive in unfamiliar environments, which is why MediPaws was designed with dedicated cat areas and entrances to minimise stress and promote a sense of calm. Our cat ward features sound-minimisation insulation, air control systems to filter smells, and calming pheromone diffusers to ease anxiety. By reducing stress, we support smoother diagnoses and faster recovery for our feline patients.
Our hospital features multiple sterile surgical theatres equipped with the latest technology to support a wide range of procedures. This includes advanced anaesthesia machines, surgical microscopes, fluoroscopy, endoscopic systems, and comprehensive patient monitoring to optimise safety. We also offer minimally invasive options such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy. Having multiple theatres allows us to respond promptly to critical cases and accommodate various surgeries simultaneously. Designated orthopaedic areas further help reduce the risk of infection.
Featuring cutting-edge equipment like digital radiography, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound, our radiology suite allows our specialists to perform a comprehensive range of diagnostic imaging procedures. This integrated approach simplifies the diagnostic process, reduces stress for your pet, and enables faster treatment decisions.
Our specialised oncology ward has been custom-designed to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for pets undergoing cancer treatment. We custom-designed this space to give our patients a comforting refuge away from the hustle and bustle of the general wards, while our more active patients get to enjoy a fun, doggy daycare-like experience.
The ward features private kennels with comfortable bedding, temperature- and light-controlled environments to optimise pet wellbeing, and dedicated areas for treatment administration and monitoring.
Our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is equipped with advanced monitoring and life support equipment. This allows for continuous monitoring of vital signs, respiratory support through specialised ventilators, and precise medication administration for pets requiring intensive care. Additionally, our specialised oxygen cages provide a controlled environment with supplemental oxygen for pets needing respiratory assistance.
At MediPaws, we recognise that providing exceptional care for our patients starts by making sure that our people are well cared for. That’s why we have invested in creating a positive, supportive and comfortable work environment, encouraging our team to enjoy a positive work-life balance. Our employee-friendly amenities include a comfortable break room, a mother’s room, end-of-trip facilities, and a well-stocked kitchen. To support continuing education and career development opportunities, all employees have access to an extensive range of in-house and external workshops, courses and training programs.
Our dedicated nuclear medicine service features the only veterinary-commissioned SPECT-CT in the Sydney region, combining anatomical detail and functional insight in a single study to clarify complex conditions such as cancer, organ disease and unexplained lameness.
SPECT-CT combines two types of imaging to visualise both organ function and anatomical structure. The MediPaws imaging team uses it to diagnose and treat complex cases, such as unexplained fevers (PUO), immune-related conditions, or lameness.
CT scans produce detailed 3D images of your pet’s internal structures, helping us assess bones, joints, lungs, and organs with high precision. It’s especially useful for trauma cases, cancer investigations, and planning complex surgeries.
MRI provides high-resolution images of soft tissues, making it invaluable for diagnosing brain and spinal cord conditions, joint injuries, and soft tissue tumours in pets – all without using radiation.
X-rays are a fast and effective way to examine your pet’s bones, chest, and abdomen. They’re commonly used to detect fractures, arthritis, tumours, and ingested foreign objects.
Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses continuous x-rays to create moving images of your pet’s internal structures. It is used to diagnose a variety of conditions in veterinary patients, including swallowing issues, urinary tract disease, or respiratory issues.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. It’s often used to assess heart conditions, abdominal issues, and pregnancy, without the need for sedation or radiation.
Conveniently located in Leichhardt, our hospital is easy to access from the Inner West and just 10 minutes from the Sydney CBD and 20 minutes from the Eastern Suburbs.
