When your pet needs surgery, it’s natural to feel anxious. At The Anaesthesia Vet, we specialise in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and pain-free during anaesthesia – giving you clear answers, careful monitoring, and confidence through every stage of their care.
When your pet needs surgery, it’s natural to worry. Anaesthesia isn’t just about keeping them asleep; it’s about keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for in their most vulnerable moments.
An Anaesthesia Specialist is there for one reason only: to watch over your pet. While the surgeon focuses on the procedure, the specialist tracks every heartbeat, every breath, every tiny change, and responds instantly. Your pet is never left unseen.
Because no two pets are alike, anaesthesia is tailored to their age, breed, and health. This lowers risk, makes recovery smoother, and lets you take them home knowing every detail was handled with care.
Not every pet needs specialist support, but in higher-risk situations it can make all the difference. Senior animals, those with medical conditions, or pets facing longer or more complex surgeries benefit most from the added safety of a dedicated anaesthesia care provider. The Anaesthesia Vet partners directly with trusted general practitioners, surgical specialists, and local veterinary teams to bring this level of care into the clinics your pet already knows.
While your veterinarian focuses on the procedure itself, The Anaesthesia Vet provides one-on-one monitoring, tailored plans, and advanced equipment. The result is reduced risk, gentler recovery, and greater peace of mind for you, knowing your pet has an expert whose only job is keeping them safe throughout.

When surgery feels overwhelming, a veterinary anaesthesia specialist brings reassuring hands, watchful eyes, and unwavering care — guiding your pet safely through the unknown and back into your arms.
Dr Kieren Maddern - Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia & Analgesia
Your pet deserves more than routine anaesthesia, they deserve focused, specialist care that protects them at every stage of their journey.
We discuss your pet’s history, quirks, and past anaesthetic experiences, then design a plan that is as individual as your pet.

The Anaesthesia Vet remains until your pet is warm, stable, and breathing clearly, never handed off too soon.
You go home with clear instructions and reassurance that support continues beyond the clinic door.

Yes, but for a different reason. While your vet is focused on the procedure itself, The Anaesthesia Vet is there to focus entirely on your pet’s anaesthesia and safety. Having a specialist means someone is watching every breath, heartbeat, and reaction throughout the procedure, and adjusting their care in real-time.
That’s where it really makes a difference. Senior pets, brachycephalic animals, and those with heart, kidney, or respiratory issues benefit from tailored anaesthetic plans that reduce risk and facilitate a smoother recovery. However, any pet facing a longer or more complex surgery can also benefit from one-on-one monitoring.
Yes. We stay with your pet until they are warm, stable, and breathing clearly. That includes the entire recovery period. We never step away early or hand off the responsibility. Your pet is looked after throughout the entire process.
Actually, they are often more relaxed. We come to your regular vet clinic, so your pet stays in a familiar environment, surrounded by people they already know. There are no extra transfers or unusual settings; just quiet, expert support integrated into what your vet team is already doing.
Of course. If your pet has a procedure booked with The Anaesthesia Vet, you’ll have the chance to discuss any concerns through your clinic. We work with your vet team ahead of time to prepare a tailored plan, and we’re always happy to explain what that means in practical terms.
“I cannot recommend Dr Kieren Maddern highly enough. She has cared for both of my tiny, health-compromised Pomeranians, who are high risk when it comes to anaesthesia. As a very anxious owner, the thought of putting them under is always stressful, but knowing Dr Kieren is in control makes all the difference.”
“Working with Kieren brings a sense of calm and confidence to even the most complex cases. With her managing anaesthesia, we can focus entirely on dentistry, knowing every detail of patient safety is being handled with care and precision.”
“Kieren shares our passion for cats. Her specialist training and knowledge allowed us to safely pursue treatments that required anaesthesia in a manner that ensured the utmost safety for Mr Gibbs. Her level of planning, communication, and care was extraordinary.“
