Services
Pet vaccinations
Our comprehensive vaccination programme protects pets against preventable diseases through tailored immunisation schedules. Experienced veterinary nurses administer core vaccines for dogs, cats, and rabbits while providing lifestyle-specific advice. We follow strict protocols to ensure safe administration and proper immunity development, including puppy/kitten courses and annual boosters. This preventative care service helps avoid costly treatments for preventable illnesses.
Operating theatres
Dedicated surgical facilities enable complex orthopaedic and soft tissue procedures in sterile environments. Our theatres feature advanced lighting and equipment for precision operations, including laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The team performs over 650 procedures annually, utilising blood vessel sealing technology for enhanced safety. Separate recovery areas ensure optimal post-operative care for all patients.
CT scanning
The Toshiba Aquilion Lightning CT scanner provides rapid, detailed imaging for accurate diagnosis of complex conditions. This 16-slice technology supports outpatient scanning with digital image sharing capabilities. Specialist radiology reports are available for complex cases, while our PACS system enables multi-location image access. The service supports both routine diagnostics and emergency assessments.
Dental X-rays
Digital dental imaging reveals hidden oral health issues below the gum line, enabling precise treatment planning. Our equipment accommodates animals of all sizes, from small rodents to large breeds. The service identifies tooth root abscesses, jaw fractures, and periodontal disease, supporting both routine check-ups and emergency dental interventions. Early detection prevents progression of painful conditions.
Laser therapy
Non-invasive laser treatment reduces pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue healing. This therapy benefits pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery needs, or chronic pain conditions. Sessions last 3-8 minutes with cumulative effects observed over multiple treatments. The service offers an alternative to long-term medication, with no sedation required during application.
