Services
Hydrotherapy
Our hydrotherapy services utilise a purpose-built water treadmill to aid healing, provide natural pain relief, and enhance pets' quality of life. Tailored home plans support ongoing recovery for conditions like arthritis or spinal issues. Suitable for all ages and mobility levels, this non-weight-bearing therapy strengthens muscles and improves joint stability without stress on the body.
Emergency Care
Out-of-hours emergency care is provided by A&E Vets, offering 24/7 in-patient services for critical cases. Our practice coordinates with their Cheadle hospital for seamless referrals, ensuring pets receive immediate attention for accidents, illnesses, or post-surgical complications outside regular hours.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccinations to protect pets against infectious diseases, including booster clinics available monthly by appointment. Our protocols follow RCVS guidelines to maintain herd immunity while minimising over-vaccination, with tailored schedules for puppies, kittens, and senior animals.
Dental Care
Our dental services include routine check-ups, scale-and-polish procedures, and extractions for advanced periodontal disease. Nurses provide home care advice on brushing techniques and diet modifications to prevent tooth decay and gum infections in companion animals.
Neutering
We perform neutering surgeries for cats, dogs, and small mammals to prevent unwanted litters and reduce health risks like uterine infections or testicular cancer. Pre-operative assessments ensure anaesthetic safety, with post-operative care packages including pain management and follow-up checks.
