Our Services

Consultations

Consultations with our vets and nurses can be for routine check ups or arranged for a specific new or ongoing health concerns. Consultations are by appointment only.

Nobody expects an emergency; thankfully we have vets available to help, any time of the day or night via our Out of Hours service providers.

Dentistry

Our trained vets and nurses can perform a full dental check, identifying any dental disease, its severity and making a recommendation for treatment. We have the facilities to perform dental procedures on-site.

We can perform lab work such as blood tests and imaging such as ultrasound and x-rays in practice that will help us diagnose more complex conditions.

Microchipping

Microchips allow your pet to be identified if it gets lost and is a legal requirement for some pets. We can microchip your pet quickly and safely using a special needle.

Neutering

Performed by our vets, neutering is a routine surgical procedure which removes a pet’s ovaries or testicl*s, so they are no longer able to breed.

Nurse Clinics

Our highly trained nurses run many routine healthcare clinics. They have a vast knowledge and experience when it comes to keeping your pets happy and healthy.

Parasite Control

We can provide you with full anti-parasitic treatment to help prevent your pets being infected with fleas, worms, ticks, lice and mites.

Vaccinations

We administer annual essential vaccinations for your pets as well as any needed for travelling abroad. Our vaccination appointments always include a physical examination to ensure your pet is healthy.

Surgery

We offer a range of commonly performed surgeries such as neutering and lump removals in our theatres onsite.

Orthopaedic Surgery

Referral Service

We have specialised equipment and vets with specific orthopaedic expertise that can perform complex surgeries on bones and joints.

Soft Tissue Surgery

Referral Service

We have specialised equipment and vets with advanced expertise that can perform complex soft tissue surgeries. Soft tissue refers to any procedure not including the bones and joints.

Exotic Animals

Some of our vets are specifically interested in exotic species, meaning they can offer a GP service including basic health checks, routine healthcare and advice to exotic pets.

Blood Pressure Checks

We can quickly and easily take your pet’s blood pressure to check for hypertension (high blood pressure); this is recommended in all pets over 8 years old.

Our veterinary nurses are not stylists but can provide some grooming services to make sure your pets are comfortable such as removing matts and nail clipping.

Six-Month Health Checks

A six-month health check assesses your pet’s overall wellbeing including their weight, dental hygiene, grooming, behaviour, and any need for parasite control. It ensures your pet is healthy and can provide preventative treatment.

Anal Sac Expression

We can empty your dog’s anal sac if they become impacted, inflamed or infected. Often, this can be manually done by a nurse but sometimes will require additional treatment.

Pet Travel Documentation

We have qualified Official Veterinarians who can provide you with the essential documents needed to travel abroad with your pet including Animal Health Certificates.

Home Visits

If circ*mstances mean you are unable to visit our practice, our vets and nurses can provide veterinary care to your pet at your home.
