Every dog or cat coming into BCS OPD or IPD gets undivided attention and personalized medical care. We have a team of highly experienced in-house veterinarians and visiting veterinarians.
Our In-patient Department (IPD) – It operates with a very limited capacity. Currently, we can accommodate only 24 dogs and 6 cats for IPD. Our IPD is usually full of dogs and cats sent to us by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) team in response to citizen complaints, such as accident cases, injuries, or illnesses. Consequently, our IPD is often at full capacity, leaving us unable to promptly admit animals brought in by rescuers or volunteers.
We deeply empathize with the plight of these stray animals and the individuals trying to help them. It saddens us to see a long queue of requests for IPD kennels, knowing that we are unable to accommodate more animals in need.
In our efforts to address this issue, we have reached out to various companies, seeking support through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding to expand the capacity of our IPD. We are hopeful that someone will help us in this endeavor.
IPD charges are INR 5,000 for a 1-month stay for a dog or cat for treatment and it includes their food, stay, and treatment costs.
The admission payment has to be transferred on the admission day itself, our staff will explain the admission procedure when you bring the stray dog or cat for admission to BCS.
Please note admission is given only through email confirmation sent via info@bcspune.org Please do not walk in with a dog or cat for IPD admission as we are usually almost full and you will have to go back disappointed!
OPD walk-in timings:
Mon-Sat: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

At BCS, we currently do not offer emergency services. Providing emergency services requires significant investment in the infrastructure, including a fleet of ambulances and the round-the-clock availability of medical staff, professionals, and drivers. The cost of maintaining this is considerably high. Additionally, hiring the right personnel for these roles is challenging and costly. Due to these financial and logistical constraints, we are unable to provide emergency care at this time.
At present, we do not have specialized wards at BCS Pune. Additionally, we are unable to admit dogs and cats with infectious disorders like parvo, CD, or other viral illnesses to our center because we do not have isolation ward facilities for them. While they can be brought to our OPD for immediate treatments and medical care.
At BCS, we offer basic surgical procedures in the IPD. These surgeries include wound closure, hematoma treatment, tumor removal, amputation, and enucleation surgeries. Additionally, surgeries for VG and TVT are performed for dogs when deemed necessary.
