Mavisehir Veterinary Pet & Exotic Animal Health Centre

Since 2011 we have provided continuous care in the Mavisehir area for companion animals, exotic species, birds and wildlife health. Our primary goal is to help our little friends live long, healthy lives.

Our diagnostic and treatment approach

In disease work-ups we reach an accurate diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment using in-house tools such as blood tests, rapid tests, radiography and ultrasound, as well as referral for advanced imaging including pathology, MRI and computed tomography (CT).

Our specialties and surgery

  • Advanced surgery: We successfully perform the most challenging soft-tissue procedures, including major tumour surgery.
  • Geriatric care: With our tailored “Geriatric Patient Protocols” we improve quality of life and extend the lives of our senior patients.
  • Counselling: Professional guidance on nutrition, husbandry and preventive medicine, plus behavioural issues (psychology) in cats, dogs and parrots.

Broad species spectrum

At Mavisehir Veterinary Clinic we care for more than cats and dogs:

Rodents: rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, chinchilla.

Reptiles: snake, iguana, leopard gecko, bearded dragon.

Birds: from large parrots such as African grey, Amazon and macaw to budgerigars, canaries and bulbuls — all cage birds,

with species-specific examination, treatment and surgical services. With three decades of regional experience, we are among the few centres in these demanding fields and work every day to offer the very best.

Our mission

To be a team that, without distinguishing pedigreed pets, owned or stray animals, or wildlife, commits—within a framework of equality and respect for the right to life—to putting forward every effort and our good will to deliver the best possible healthcare, to help, to treat and to support recovery.

Our vision

To be a model clinic in our region through an innovative, principled and responsible approach.
