Services
Keyhole Spays
Keyhole spays involve removing a female dog's ovaries through two small incisions, reducing post-operative pain and recovery time. This procedure uses advanced monitoring equipment and pre-anaesthetic blood tests to ensure patient safety. Dogs typically resume normal activity within 72 hours without needing restrictive collars.
Wellness Screening
Annual wellness screening includes blood and urine tests, joint assessments, and dental checks to detect early signs of conditions like kidney disease or arthritis. The 30-minute appointment helps identify hidden health issues in mature pets, with results reviewed by veterinary professionals within 10 days.
Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent life-threatening diseases. Services include tailored advice on lifestyle-specific vaccines, booster schedules, and pre-vaccination health checks. Pet Health Club members receive discounted rates on core vaccination packages.
Community Nursing
Led by a veterinary nurse with 18 years' experience, this service offers home consultations for pets unable to visit the clinic. Includes medication deliveries and nurse-led health assessments on selected days, ensuring accessible care for mobility-restricted owners.
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site laboratory provides rapid blood profiling and cytological analysis for conditions affecting organs, skin, and bodily fluids. Equipped with advanced microscopes and analyzers, we deliver accurate results within an hour to support timely treatment decisions for critically ill or surgical patients.
