Vaccinations
Core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits protect against life-threatening diseases like distemper, leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia. Our tailored schedules include initial puppy/kitten courses and annual boosters, with expert advice on travel requirements and lifestyle-specific needs. All vaccinations include a comprehensive health check to ensure your pet's optimal condition.
Wellness screening
Annual wellness screens for mature pets detect early signs of kidney disease, diabetes, and other conditions through blood and urine tests. This proactive approach allows timely intervention for cats over 7 years and dogs over 5 years, including breed-specific assessments for giant breeds from age 3. Results guide dietary and treatment adjustments to maintain quality of life.
Emergency care
24/7 emergency services provided in partnership with Vets Now for after-hours critical care. Our on-site team handles daytime emergencies while referring complex cases to specialists. Services include trauma treatment, poison ingestion management, and immediate diagnostics, with seamless continuity of care through detailed clinical handovers between practices.
Dental treatment
Comprehensive dental services from routine scale-and-polish to complex extractions and periodontal therapy. We address gingivitis, tooth resorption, and oral infections using modern anaesthesia protocols. Preventative education covers home care techniques and diet modifications to maintain oral health, which directly impacts systemic wellbeing in pets.
Nutrition advice
Personalised nutrition consultations for weight management, food allergies, and disease-specific diets. We recommend premium veterinary-formulated foods for conditions like renal disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and mobility issues. Services include transition plans for new diets, portion control guidance, and supplementation advice to optimise your pet's health outcomes.
