Sri Lanka's first full-service mixed animal hospital — 25,000 sq ft of advanced veterinary care in the heart of Colombo, spearheaded by internationally credentialed specialists.
Rover Veterinary Hospital, Battaramulla is the first of its kind in Sri Lanka — a full-service mixed animal practice in a fully air-conditioned 25,000 sq ft facility in the heart of Colombo, that opened its premises to the public two years ago.
The hospital is the first to be designed to international standards, with individual examination rooms, advanced surgical suites, a state-of-the-art IDEXX diagnostic laboratory, and in-house X-ray and scanning facilities to help with rapid diagnosis and welfare-oriented care, as well as a comprehensive 24/7 emergency service.
Soundproof, air-conditioned wards and boarding facilities, pet grooming, preventative immunisation care, puppy training, and behavioural therapy sessions ensure pet owners can rely on Rover for every dimension of their companion's health — physical, mental, and social.
Rover Veterinary Hospital aims to achieve and maintain the highest standards of veterinary medicine, and be a shining example to the next generation of veterinary surgeons in Sri Lanka, with many outreach programmes and partnerships planned for the coming year.
