We provide comprehensive pet vaccination programs protecting against core diseases for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Our veterinary team administers initial courses for puppies and kittens, with annual boosters for adult pets. Services include tailored advice on lifestyle-specific vaccinations for pets that travel or board, with automated reminders to ensure timely boosters.
Wellness screening
Our wellness screening service detects early signs of health issues in mature pets through comprehensive physical exams and diagnostic tests. The 30-minute assessment includes blood and urine analysis, dental checks, and mobility evaluations to identify conditions like kidney disease and arthritis in cats and dogs aged five years and older.

Emergency veterinary services operate through our partnership with Vets Now at the Swansea location. Available 24/7, the service handles pet emergencies including trauma, poisoning, and acute illness. Our daytime team provides urgent care during normal hours, with seamless referral to the emergency service after hours.
