What People Are Saying

 

“I had my 8-year old Charlie’s BOAS surgery done and it was absolutely beneficial. Zero regrets. I will always advocate for the older dogs benefitting from this surgery. The worst thing I ever did was listen to vets telling me he's too old. The BEST thing I ever did was contact Dr Ema Bowman.”

— Chelsea Moffitt

“Milo had BOAS surgery by Dr Ema Bowman in Brisbane a week and a half ago and she was amazing for anyone wanting an exceptional 5/5 vet in Brisbane! Milo had a couple of minor things happen in recovery over the first couple of nights and Ema supported me through them beautifully. I found her so caring, passionate and knowledgeable and overall Milo has had a dream recovery.”

— Jacquie Speirs

 

“Another recommendation for Ema Bowman at Vetkind Arana Hills. She did both of our pugs in June and they recovered so well. She explains the procedure in detail & shows photos. We were very confident leaving both our dogs in her hands.”

— Kylie Mattern

Dr Ema is a member of the Brachycephalic Welfare Association and is heavily involved in advocating for more ethical breeding.

“My dream is a career where BOAS surgery is no longer needed. But until then, I will continue to be a vocal advocate for every one of my brachycephalic patients.”

A life spent struggling to breathe is no life.
