Services
Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent infectious diseases. Our protocols follow veterinary best practices and include annual boosters and primary courses for puppies/kittens. Vaccinations form essential preventative healthcare, protecting pets against common but serious illnesses while maintaining herd immunity in the local animal population.
Exotic Pet Care
Our practice offers specialist care for exotic pets including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. With dedicated facilities and a vet pursuing a Certificate in Exotic Animal Medicine, we provide species-specific treatments, husbandry advice, and emergency care. This service addresses the unique needs of non-traditional pets through tailored nutrition guidance, enclosure assessments, and specialist medical interventions.
Pet Health Plans
Our monthly payment plans spread preventative care costs for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Covering vaccinations, parasite control, and routine check-ups, these plans include discounts on additional treatments. By budgeting for essential healthcare, pet owners ensure consistent preventative care while accessing financial benefits through structured monthly payments.
Dental Care
We offer complete dental services including routine check-ups, scale and polish procedures, and complex oral surgeries. Modern equipment enables dental X-rays and specialist treatments for periodontal disease. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health issues while addressing pain management and tooth preservation for improved pet wellbeing.
Cat Friendly Clinic
Achieving Silver Status in the International Society of Feline Medicine's programme, we provide cat-specific facilities and handling techniques. Separate waiting areas, stress-reduction protocols, and feline-focused equipment create a calming environment. Our trained staff implement gentle handling methods and offer tailored advice for managing cats' unique healthcare requirements.
