Melbourne Bulldog Clinic

Melbourne Bulldog Clinic is a specialist veterinary practice in Cheltenham, Victoria, dedicated to improving the health and welfare of brachycephalic breeds, particularly Bulldogs. The clinic focuses on early diagnosis and surgical intervention for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), with an emphasis on correcting airway problems ideally before 12 months of age to prevent severe lifelong issues. Their care pathway includes thorough preoperative assessment and planning, advanced airway and other surgeries performed by experienced surgeons such as Dr Karin Davids, and tailored hospitalization and postoperative support. Beyond airway surgery, the clinic provides a wide range of veterinary services that include digital radiology, endoscopy, cancer diagnosis and treatment (including chemotherapy protocols), general wellness checks and vaccinations, and specialist second opinions for complex cases. They also run owner education and seminar programs to promote breed-specific health, responsible breeding practices, and ongoing welfare improvements. To support urgent needs and reduce emergency presentations, Melbourne Bulldog Clinic offers extended hours and weekend availability for appropriate cases, and maintains diagnostic and specialized care facilities to manage both routine and complex medical needs for brachycephalic dogs.
