Veterinary Surgical Services in Kent
TPLO Surgery
OrthoPet Pro provides peripatetic surgical support to veterinary practices across Kent. Led by Dr Shahar Somer, we help practices with suitable small animal orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery cases.
Dr. Somer works with referring practices and, where appropriate, performs surgery at the place where the patient is being treated. This allows the primary veterinary team to stay involved while accessing additional surgical experience when needed.
If your practice has a case that requires surgical support, you can contact OrthoPet Pro to discuss the patient and the procedure.
TPLO Surgery for Dogs in Kent
TPLO surgery is one of the key orthopaedic procedures provided by OrthoPet Pro. It is commonly used to treat cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs and may be suitable for patients following an assessment.
Dr. Shahar Somer works closely with the referring veterinary surgeon to review the case, discuss the surgical options, and plan the procedure. Where appropriate, surgery can take place at the referring veterinary practice, so the patient’s usual veterinary team can remain involved in their care.
Surgical Support Across the South East
OrthoPet Pro also works with referring veterinary practices across Essex, Sussex and Greater London, providing peripatetic orthopaedic and soft tissue surgical support where appropriate.

Surgical Support at Your Practice
Sometimes a practice needs additional surgical experience for a particular case but does not need a permanent surgical specialist. This is where OrthoPet Pro can help.
Dr. Somer works directly with the referring veterinary surgeon to discuss the patient, surgical options, and practical requirements. Where suitable, the procedure can then take place at your referring vet.
This approach keeps communication simple. Your team remains involved in the patient’s care, while OrthoPet Pro provides the surgical support required for the case.
