Emergency Care
Village Vet Centre provides 24/7 emergency veterinary care through partnerships with Vets Now. Our Buckley branch offers on-site nursing and urgent consultations during regular hours. Emergency cases receive immediate triage and treatment for trauma, poisoning, or acute illness. Clients are guided through stabilisation steps before arrival, with access to advanced diagnostics and surgical interventions when required.
Pet Vaccinations
We offer tailored vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including core and travel-specific vaccines. Each appointment includes a health check, lifestyle assessment, and booster reminders. Puppies and kittens receive full courses, while adult pets benefit from annual boosters. Our team advises on protection for kennel cough, leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia, ensuring compliance with boarding and travel requirements.
Wellness Screenings
Comprehensive MOT-style assessments for mature pets detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and dental issues. Screenings include blood tests, urine analysis, and joint mobility evaluations. Recommended annually for cats over 7, dogs over 5, and giant breeds from age 3. Results are reviewed within 10 days, with follow-up plans for abnormal findings to maintain long-term health.
K-Laser Therapy
Available at our Meadowbank branch, K-Laser Therapy reduces inflammation and pain in pets with arthritis or soft tissue injuries. Treatments last 3-8 minutes, using red and near-infrared light to stimulate healing. No sedation is required, with cumulative benefits seen over multiple sessions. This non-invasive option complements traditional pain management strategies for chronic conditions.
Pet Nutrition
Our team provides evidence-based nutrition guidance, including prescription diets for renal disease, gastrointestinal issues, and weight management. We stock veterinary-formulated foods and offer consultations to address allergies, mobility support, and hydration strategies. Pet Health Club members receive discounts on selected products, ensuring optimal dietary care tailored to individual health needs.
