LEAD VETERINARIAN · GURUGRAM

Dr. Rahul Thapar

Dr. Rahul Thapar graduated from the College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, NDVSU, Jabalpur in 2017 — one of India's most respected veterinary institutions. Over seven years of clinical practice, he has built deep expertise in internal medicine and surgery, with particular strength in oncology and cardiology — two of the most demanding specialty areas in small animal medicine.

What sets Dr. Thapar apart is his evidence-based approach. Diagnoses are built on examination findings, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory results rather than guesswork. The treatments he offers span a broad range of disciplines — gastroenterology, dermatology, orthopaedics, neurology, oncology, cardiology, and dentistry — all delivered with the rigour of someone who reads, learns, and stays current.

Dr. Thapar is also a prominent member of the team at the East of Kailash referral hospital, which he visits every week to check on his patients and track their recovery and progress. For complex cases that transfer to flagship, this means continuity of care — the same doctor watches your pet through both phases.

NETWORK · CHAIRMAN

Dr. Kunal Dev Sharma

Third-generation veterinarian and one of the few Indians elected to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London. He personally handles advanced orthopaedic, spinal, and trauma surgery at the East of Kailash flagship.

NETWORK · CARDIOLOGY

Dr. Bhanu Dev Sharma

Specialist in canine and feline cardiology, internal medicine, and echocardiography. For advanced cardiac investigations referred from Gurugram, his team takes over at the flagship.

Separate Treatment Rooms

Dedicated examination and treatment areas for canine and feline patients — because a quiet examination space genuinely matters for stressed dogs and especially for cats. Less waiting, less stimulation, less anxiety.

Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

A state-of-the-art ICU for critical and post-surgical patients — with continuous monitoring, oxygen support, and the staff to manage recovery from major procedures. Few Gurugram pet clinics offer this.

Operating Theatre

Equipped with gas anaesthesia, vessel sealer electrocautery, and a surgical laser unit — modern surgical infrastructure that delivers safer, cleaner, faster-recovering procedures.

Digital X-Ray & Diagnostic Imaging

High-quality diagnostic imaging in-house — fractures, foreign bodies, lung and chest assessment, hip and joint screening. Results within minutes, shared digitally so you walk out with the file, not a wait.

In-House Laboratory

Same-day pathology so diagnosis happens at the visit — not days later from an outsourced lab. CBC, biochemistry, urinalysis, faecal analysis, and tick-borne disease panels processed on-site.

Grooming Centre

Professional grooming with experienced groomers, available all day. Breed-specific haircuts, medicated baths for skin conditions, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and de-shedding — for both dogs and cats.

In-House Pet Store

Complete pet supplies and accessories — premium food brands, prescription diets, toys, beds, harnesses, hygiene products. No need to drive across the city for what your pet needs.

Cancer Care (Oncology)

Tumour screening, cytology and biopsy, staging, surgical removal, and supportive care planning. Dr. Thapar's oncology focus means cases are identified early and managed thoughtfully, not reactively.

Cardiology

Cardiac auscultation, ECG, heart murmur workup, congestive heart failure management, and congenital heart disease assessment. Advanced cardiac investigations referred to Dr. Bhanu Dev Sharma at the flagship.

Orthopaedics & Bone Care

Fracture repair, joint stabilisation, ligament injuries, lameness investigation, hip and elbow assessment. Major orthopaedic surgery (TPLO, hip replacement, spinal decompression) referred to Dr. Kunal Dev Sharma at the flagship.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Endoscopy and laser-assisted surgery with the vessel sealer electrocautery and surgical laser unit. Smaller incisions, less bleeding, faster recovery — the modern standard your pet deserves.

Ophthalmology

Eye examinations, corneal disease, conjunctivitis, eye trauma, and chronic eye conditions. Surgical eye cases referred to the MaxPetZ ophthalmology team at the flagship.

Neurology

Neurological examination, seizure management, intervertebral disc disease assessment, vestibular disease, and cognitive dysfunction in senior pets. Surgical neurology referred to the flagship.

Dental Care

Complete dental services — cleaning, scaling, polishing, tooth extractions under anaesthesia, oral health assessments. Untreated dental disease quietly affects the heart, kidneys, and liver, so we recommend annual evaluation.

Gastroenterology & Dermatology

Chronic GI investigation, food trials, diet management, parasitic and bacterial diarrhoea protocols. Allergic skin disease, ear infections, mange, hot spots, and chronic itch investigation. Two of Dr. Thapar's strengths.

Blood Disorders & Transfusion

Anaemia workup, clotting disorder investigation, immune-mediated diseases, and life-saving blood transfusion services for critically ill animals — rare in Gurugram pet clinics.

Exotic Pets

Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds and reptiles — care for species most local Gurugram clinics turn away. Species-specific diet, husbandry, and disease management.

Physiotherapy & Rehab

Structured post-surgical rehabilitation, laser physiotherapy for arthritis and joint pain, and recovery support. For underwater treadmill hydrotherapy — India's first — patients access the East of Kailash flagship.

Emergency & Critical Care

24/7 emergency veterinary services. The team backs Dr. Thapar around the clock for trauma, poisoning, breathing distress, and post-operative monitoring. Cases that need flagship ICU transfer there directly.

Vaccinations & Preventive Care

Cold-chain audited vaccines. Puppy schedules from 35–40 days, kittens from 45 days. Core vaccines (Parvo, Distemper, Hepatitis, Rabies for dogs; Tricat, FeLV, Rabies for cats), annual boosters, deworming, and parasite prevention.

"Hi, I'm Ashish and this is my dog, Kara. She's three years old. We have been coming to MaxVets for about a year, and we come here because we realised after going to a local vet, that in times of crisis, you need to go to a place which is precise, which has all the facilities, and where the entire team can be relied upon. And that's why we come here again and again, because we don't have to seek a second opinion. So far, our experience has been really good."

"My senior labrador had a mass that two other clinics had been calling a 'lipoma' for months. Dr. Thapar did a proper cytology, identified it correctly, planned the surgery, and removed it cleanly using the laser unit. Five days of recovery, no infection, no drama. The evidence-based approach he keeps talking about — it actually shows up in the work."

"What I value most is the continuity. Dr. Thapar treats my cat at Sushant Lok and personally checks on her when she's referred to the flagship in Delhi. Same doctor, both phases. No starting over, no repeated tests. That's not something a single-doctor clinic can give you."

MaxPetZ Gurugram — led by Dr. Rahul Thapar, with 24/7 team support — passes all eight tests.
