Services
Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, rabbits, and ferrets, including rabies vaccines for pets travelling abroad. Our team offers tailored advice on lifestyle-specific vaccines and maintains detailed records with automated booster reminders. Vaccinations are included in our Pet Health Club plans, alongside flea and worm treatments, ensuring comprehensive preventive care for pets of all ages.
Wellness screening
Our wellness screening service offers early detection of conditions like kidney disease and arthritis in mature pets. The 30-minute assessment includes blood tests, urine analysis, dental checks, and nutritional advice. This service is recommended annually for pets aged 5+ (dogs) and 7+ (cats), with discounts available for Pet Health Club members and tailored follow-up support for abnormal results.
Neutering
We perform neutering procedures for cats and dogs, typically recommending the operation at six months old to prevent unwanted behaviours. The process involves general anaesthesia, with post-operative check-ups and stitch removal included. Clients receive guidance on recovery care, and discounts are available through our Pet Health Club plans for this routine procedure.
Dental care
Our dental services include routine checks, scale and polish treatments, and extractions for pets with advanced dental disease. We advise on home care practices and offer dietary recommendations to maintain oral health. Regular dental treatment is promoted as part of preventive care, with specific guidance provided during wellness consultations and vaccination appointments.
Pet Health Club
The Pet Health Club offers flexible plans covering vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, and six-month health checks. Members receive discounts on neutering, dental work, and selected pet foods, with optional add-ons for additional benefits. The service aims to spread the cost of routine care while ensuring pets receive consistent preventive treatments throughout their lives.
