Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent infectious diseases. Our protocols follow veterinary guidelines and include booster schedules. Vaccinations are essential for puppies, kittens, and adult pets to maintain herd immunity and comply with travel regulations.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our digital X-ray, dental imaging, and ultrasound equipment enable accurate internal diagnostics. These tools help identify fractures, organ issues, and soft tissue abnormalities. We combine imaging with laboratory tests for comprehensive health assessments and treatment planning.
Surgical Procedures
We perform neutering, soft tissue surgery, and dental procedures under sterile conditions. Pre-anaesthetic blood tests ensure patient safety, while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. Complex cases may be referred to specialists with client consent.

We issue animal health certificates for pets traveling abroad, including EU destinations and long-haul trips. Our team provides country-specific advice on vaccinations, microchipping, and parasite treatments required for compliance with international pet import regulations.
