Your veterinarians in Karlsruhe: Expertise, passion and a team that speaks your language
My name is Susanne Arndt, and together with my highly qualified team, we are passionately committed to the well-being of your animals every day.
Expertise based on experience
My journey in veterinary medicine began with my studies at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Leipzig. After six formative years as an assistant veterinarian in a renowned small animal clinic in Cologne and the successful establishment of the small animal department of an animal health center in Lahr, I have been rooted in the region as the owner since 2013.
In order to always be able to offer your animals the most modern medicine, I have enrolled in the study program ‚'Master of Small Animal Science' at the Free University I received comprehensive veterinary training in Berlin and am continuously specializing in the field of Osteosynthesis. As an active member of the German Veterinary Medical Society (DVG) and the specialist groups for feline and laser medicine, my aim is to combine clinic-level medicine with the personal care of an owner-managed practice.
An international team for all situations
Behind me stands an exceptional team of specialists and senior physicians who enable us to handle even complex cases – from the Oncology and Surgery (Senior Physician Sheila Martins) about the Dentistry and surgery (Senior Physician Cristiana Negroiu) until the Internal Medicine (Senior physician Monika Perko) – to treat at a high level.
I am particularly proud of our diversity:
We know that concerns are best discussed in one's native language. That's why, in addition to German, we also offer fluent advice in... English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Polish, Croatian, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian, Persian, Arabic and Luxembourgish.
I am supported in this by my dedicated colleagues Mahdi Ghorbani, Rohan Schnell, George Brendea, Mohamed Atta, Joana Kulik, Birte Arkan and Rusana Murashka. Click here to meet our entire team with the remaining diligent Veterinary assistant and dedicated helpers and helpers.
From pet owners for pet owners
When I'm not at my practice, my passions are photography and my own "problem children" at home. (Who knows my deaf senior Dalmatians?) Harald (14), my long-haired Weimaraner Olav (11) or Fiore (9) Anyone who knows a deaf Podenco knows: We understand not only the medicine, but also the deep bond between humans and animals. The fact that two of my dogs are deaf (and Olav sometimes pretends to be) has taught me that every animal deserves individual, patient care.
We look forward to welcoming you and your pet to Karlsruhe-Durlach!

Specialized dentistry for dogs and cats
Dental diseases such as FORL in cats or periodontitis in dogs are extremely common and are often diagnosed too late. Animals instinctively hide pain. Untreated dental problems not only cause severe toothache, but the bacteria can also damage the heart, liver, and kidneys via the bloodstream. We offer professional dental cleanings, dental X-rays, and gentle dental restorations.

We place great emphasis on clear and understandable pre-operative information, gentle and individually tailored anesthesia management, and comprehensive, structured aftercare.

Special topic: Cruciate ligament rupture in dogs (Modern TPLO surgery & aftercare)
A cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common causes of sudden or chronic lameness in the hind limbs of dogs. A precise diagnosis and the correct surgical treatment plan are crucial to ensure your dog can walk pain-free and stably again in the long term. If a cruciate ligament rupture remains untreated, severe, irreversible joint damage and painful osteoarthritis can result.
We will advise you honestly and comprehensively on all surgical options. In addition to classic surgical procedures (lateral suture) we are nationwide, focusing on state-of-the-art technology TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) and ZLig (artificial cruciate ligament replacement) Specialized. The TPLO method alters the biomechanics of the dog's knee so that the joint can bear a completely stable load even without an intact cruciate ligament – ideal for medium, large, and athletically active dogs. We accompany you and your four-legged friend step by step from diagnosis and surgery to individual rehabilitation and aftercare.
