Mulund's
trusted
veterinarian.

For 15 years, Dr. Hrushikesh Karandikar (M.V.Sc. Surgery) has been Mulund East's go-to veterinarian for the cases other clinics find too complicated. His practice is built around one promise: the same doctor remembers your pet by name — Leo, Bella and Bunny, the family member nobody else does — and is still here for the difficult appointment too, the one you hope you never have to schedule. Compassionate care, expert surgery, no chain-clinic rotation.

Our practice principle
01
Flagship

General Veterinary Consultation

Annual & senior check-ups · weight + dental + behavior review · 30 min

+

A routine veterinary consultation covers full physical examination, weight + temperature, dental check, body condition scoring, and a relaxed discussion about diet, behavior, and anything you've noticed. Healthy adult pets benefit from an annual visit; senior pets (7+ years) from twice-yearly.

The consultation is where Dr. Karandikar spots early warning signs before they become emergencies — dental tartar, ear infections, weight shifts, skin conditions. Most consults run 30 minutes, with a written summary and any follow-up plan in your hand before you leave.

Vaccination & Preventive Care

Core vaccines + boosters · deworming · tick & flea control · lifelong schedule

+

Core vaccinations protect against rabies, parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and parainfluenza for dogs; FVRCP and FeLV for cats. We follow WSAVA-aligned protocols — annual boosters where needed, three-year cycles where the evidence supports it. No over-vaccination for revenue's sake.

Beyond vaccines, preventive care covers monthly tick & flea control, deworming (every 3 months for active dogs), heartworm prevention, and nutrition guidance. Mumbai's monsoon brings a real lift in tick exposure and leptospirosis risk — staying ahead of the schedule matters most for outdoor and street-exposed dogs.

Comprehensive

Soft-Tissue & Orthopedic Surgery

Routine to complex · pre-op blood work · monitored anaesthesia · same-day discharge where possible

+

Soft-tissue surgery covers spay/neuter, lump removals, exploratory laparotomy, cesarean sections, and emergency abdominal surgery. Every procedure includes pre-anaesthetic blood work, monitored anaesthesia with capnography, and post-op pain management. No shortcuts on safety.

For complex cases — including senior pets with multiple complications, cryptorchidism, and orthopaedic fracture repair — Dr. Karandikar plans carefully and communicates every step. Pet parents walk out the same day where possible, with detailed home-care instructions and a follow-up call to check in on recovery.

Sterilization

Spay & Neuter (Sterilization)

Planned, not emergency · pre-op blood work · same-day discharge · 48-hour recovery

+

Spay (female) and neuter (male) surgeries reduce reproductive cancer risk, control roaming behavior, and prevent unwanted litters. We do these as planned, not emergency procedures — pre-op blood work, overnight fasting protocol, monitored anaesthesia, and same-day discharge with multi-modal pain management.

Transparent pricing — quoted before the procedure, including anaesthesia, surgery, disposables, the e-collar, and follow-up. No surprises added later. Most pets are bouncing around within 48 hours; Dr. Karandikar follows up on day 3 and day 10 via WhatsApp.

Long-term care

Senior Pet Care & Health Education

7+ year care plans · early disease detection · pet-parent education

+

Senior pets (7+ years) need different care: more frequent check-ups, blood panels to catch organ changes early, joint support, and adjusted nutrition. We build a senior-care plan that catches issues like kidney disease, diabetes, and arthritis before they become emergencies.

Health education is central to our practice. First-time pet parents shouldn't have to Google every normal post-op pattern. Dr. Karandikar publishes owner-facing explanations of common procedures and recovery patterns — so you know what's normal and what's a real warning sign.

— 05. What pet parents say

Patients keep coming back —
and bringing their families.

332+ verified reviews. 4.7+ star rating. The pattern in the stories is pet names — clients remember Dr. Karandikar by the pet he treated, and refer family and friends. That's the highest compliment a single-doctor veterinary practice can earn.

— Common questions

Honest answers,
before you ask.

Six things almost every pet parent wonders. The same things we'd want to know.

How much will treatment cost?

+
We share transparent pricing upfront. After the consultation, Dr. Karandikar walks you through the recommended care and exact costs — so you know what to expect before anything begins. We accept cash, UPI, and major cards. If you have a pet-insurance policy, bring it and we'll help you understand what's covered.

Will the treatment hurt?

+
Modern veterinary anaesthesia is precise and tightly monitored. Most procedures — vaccinations, routine consults, even soft-tissue surgery — are comfortable for the pet. For anxious or aggressive cases, we use mild sedation; for surgery, fully monitored general anaesthesia with capnography and multi-modal post-op pain management.

Do you accept insurance?

+
Pet insurance in India is still developing — a handful of providers (Bajaj Allianz, Future Generali, Digit) now offer basic pet cover. If you have a policy, bring it to the consult and we'll help you understand what's covered before the treatment begins. We charge straightforward, transparent fees so you can claim reimbursement easily where applicable.

How long will my treatment take?

+
Depends on the case. Routine consult: 30–45 min. Vaccination: 10 min. Spay / neuter: 30–45 min surgical, same-day discharge. Complex surgery: 1–2 hours plus monitored recovery. Your written treatment plan includes a realistic time estimate upfront, with a quoted price before we start.

Are sterilization and hygiene protocols modern?

+
Every instrument is autoclave-sterilized at 134°C. Treatment rooms are fully disinfected between patients. Single-use disposables (gloves, masks, surgical drapes, anaesthesia needles) wherever possible. We exceed Veterinary Council of India guidelines.

I haven't brought my pet in for a while. Will you make me feel bad?

+
Never. Many pet parents come to us after a gap — sometimes because a routine concern turned into a worry, sometimes because life just happened. Dr. Karandikar's approach is care without judgment — we start with where you are now, not where you think you should have been. Bring your pet, share what you've noticed, and we'll work from there together.
