Services
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent life-threatening diseases. Our veterinary team offers tailored advice based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and travel requirements. All vaccinations include a comprehensive health check to ensure your pet is fit for immunisation.
Wellness Screening
Our comprehensive wellness screens detect early signs of disease in mature pets through blood tests, physical exams, and behavioural assessments. The 30-minute appointment includes joint evaluation, dental checks, and parasite protection review to maintain optimal health in older animals.
Parasite Control
We offer year-round parasite prevention programmes targeting fleas, ticks, and internal worms. Our nurses provide guidance on effective products and application methods to protect both pets and their human families from zoonotic parasites.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification through microchip implantation ensures lost pets can be reunited with owners. The quick, minimally invasive procedure is performed by trained staff without anaesthesia, with registration handled through national databases.
End-of-Life Care
We provide compassionate end-of-life support with home or clinic-based euthanasia options. Our team offers guidance on quality-of-life assessments and aftercare arrangements, including cremation services with ashes return options.
