The small animal center now has a computer tomograph developed specifically for small animals and pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc., which, due to its technology (digital volume tomography), requires 60% -90% less radiation than conventional 16-line computer tomographs at up to 30 times higher Resolution. This protects the animals and improves diagnostics enormously.

This allows us, among other things, to take 3D images of our patients and print them out on a 3D printer at the same time. This opens up completely new ways of preparing for operations, among other things:

3D cat head CT dental diagnostics
3D printing cat head
3D printing cat head for dental diagnostics

Further areas of application for the new computer tomograph in the Durlach Small Animal Center include:

• Dental x-rays, e.g. FORL in cats
• but also dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs can be examined in more detail using computer tomography
• Diagnosis of tumors and metastases
• Setting up bone fractures
• Preoperative planning of fracture treatment
• Visualization of vessels, bile ducts and
gastrointestinal sections with appropriate
contrast media
• Placement of probes
• Observation of dynamic processes
– heart movement
– ​​swallowing movement (esophagus visualization)
• Integrating implant control during
the operation (functions similar to a C-arm)
• Biopsies
• Positioning control before the CT examination

doc4pets Karlsruhe/Karlsbad offers its customers - especially risk groups and people with animals in quarantine - a daily video consultation from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. There, the pet owner has the opportunity to present their pet's problem using their cell phone and Google Hangout.

Since we know the previous illnesses of these animals, we then have the opportunity to assess whether and to what extent the animal needs to be presented to one of our practices. If necessary, we can also arrange for the animals to be picked up. In simple cases we can also deliver prescriptions or medication directly.

How can I use the video consultation?

To use this service, you can an appointment Google or on , which will then be confirmed.

15 minutes of the video consultation costs EUR 22.56 according to the GOT (Fee Schedule for Veterinarians).

We wish all our customers that they and their loved ones get through this crisis healthy!

Arndt small animal center is a “cat friendly clinic”
Kleintierzentrum Arndt is a “Cat friendly clinic” 768 1024 Sven Jan Arndt
The Arndt small animal center in Karlsruhe-Durlach has received the international silver certificate as a cat-friendly practice “cat friendly clinic” . This makes it one of the few clinics and practices in Germany that have achieved this.
“We are very proud of the certificate awarded by the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), which recognizes our ongoing efforts in further training and maintaining high standards, especially in cat medicine,” says veterinarian Susanne Arndt, owner. The ISFM has been striving for years to spread a high standard of cat medicine worldwide.

What does this mean for your cat?

Cats have finely tuned body language, and in order to understand this, all employees are specially trained in dealing with cats and are constantly receiving further training.
As a recognized cat practice, the Arndt Small Animal Center minimizes stress for the cats right from the start - for example, through a separate waiting area for dogs and cats, but also separate stations with places to retreat and toys for longer stays, especially for cats.
In addition, cats have raised storage areas and the specific treatment rooms are sprayed with a special spray that calms the cats. This makes the upcoming treatment very easy - the cats are relaxed and blood samples, x-rays and ultrasound examinations work very well.
This way, your little darlings will not only be healthy, but also optimally pampered, and everything will heal much faster.

With heart and mind for your animal – the Arndt small animal center in Karlsruhe-Durlach!
