FAQs

What kind of pets need specialist anaesthetic care?

We provide specialist anaesthetic care for pets of all shapes and sizes, from senior dogs and anxious rescues to brachycephalic breeds, exotic pets, and animals with heart, kidney or respiratory conditions. Whether a complex case or a routine procedure with added risk, we support safe, thoughtful outcomes across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

Why do some pets need extra support during anaesthesia?

Every pet is different. Some need more than a one-size-fits-all approach, whether it’s because of age, breed, anxiety, past experiences, or existing health concerns. That’s where specialist anaesthetic care for pets comes in. Across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, we tailor every plan to meet your animal’s specific needs, so they’re not just safe but understood.

How do I know if my pet needs specialist anaesthetic care?

If your pet is older, has a chronic condition, or makes you nervous when surgery is mentioned, it’s worth asking your vet about involving a specialist. We’re often called in for pets who need extra watching, adjusting or reassurance under anaesthesia, and we’re here for that across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

What makes your approach different from a general vet anaesthetic?

Our focus is anaesthesia and pain management, that’s all we do. With board certification and over a decade of hands-on experience, we bring advanced monitoring, personalised planning, and one-on-one care throughout the entire anaesthetic journey. We offer specialist vet mobile anaesthesia based in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

“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.” 

M Vincent - Pet Owner

“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.”

Dr Aaron & Dr Bec, Advanced Animal Dentistry

“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.“
