Kolkata got its first private 24 hour veterinary emergency and critical care facility Advanced Pet Care.

Located near Vivekananda Park at 14B Anil Roy Road, Kolkata- 700 029, the pet care facility was inaugurated in the presence of Subhayan Gangully, Nabodita Gangully, Director, Advanced Pet Care Pvt Ltd, Swastika Mukherjee, Somlata Acharyya Chowdhury, Agnimitra Paul, Parno Mittra, Mir, Bickram Ghosh, Tanmoy Bose, Rupam Islam, Mainak Bhaumik and others.

The pet care facility will offer facilities like clinical pathology, radiology, ultrasound imaging, cardiac monitoring under one roof for your pets. The machines used are not the ones used for humans. These machines are the ones needed to test the body functions of your pets.

The operation theatre has features like gas anaesthesia workstation imported from the UK, oxygen delivery and respiratory support, capnography, pulse oximetry and so on. The highlight of the surgical infrastructure is the heated veterinary surgical table which reduces the risk of hypothermia in the patient during surgery.

Subhayan Gangully discovered his love for animals in the company of his wife Nabodita. It is during his travels to countries like UK, Australia that he got to know the level of care and support available for the pet owners. This prompted him to open a pet care facility which will be open 24 hours so that one can reach out to them whenever they require assistance for their pets.

Dr Subir Bhattacharya is the Clinical Director of Advanced Pet Care.

Parno Mittra who came in with her dog praised the infrastructure of the pet care facility and mentioned that this will be helpful for the pet owners in the city.

A team of senior doctors will be available for consultation at the OPD Clinic 6 days a week from 10 am to 10 pm. The critical ailment and emergency department will be open 24×7 throughout the year.

The rates for the treatment have not been decided yet. However Mr Gangully mentioned that the rates will not burn a hole in the pocket of the pet owners and neither will they have to incur any loss.
