Pet Vaccinations
Protect pets from life-threatening diseases through tailored vaccination programmes. Our vets administer core vaccines for puppies, kittens, and rabbits while advising on lifestyle-specific boosters. We follow strict protocols for travel and kennel requirements, ensuring compliance with UK and EU regulations. Vaccination schedules include reminders to maintain continuous protection.
Wellness Screening
Comprehensive annual assessments for mature pets to detect hidden health issues. Includes blood/urine tests, joint evaluation, and dental checks to identify early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, or diabetes. Recommended for cats over 7 years and dogs over 5 years, with results reviewed within 10 days for prompt intervention.
Emergency Care
24/7 emergency cover through partnership with Hampden Veterinary Hospital. Critical care available for trauma, poisoning, or acute illness between 9pm-8:30am. Inpatient monitoring maintained overnight for hospitalised animals. Daytime emergencies handled directly at our Halton branch with immediate vet access.
