Services
General Health Check
Our comprehensive health assessments identify potential issues early through physical examination and medical history review. Veterinarians evaluate weight, coat condition, dental health, and organ function. Clients receive tailored advice on nutrition, parasite prevention, and exercise regimes to maintain optimal pet wellness.
Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for cats, dogs, and rabbits alongside specialist protection for boarding and travel requirements. All vaccinations include veterinary consultation and health assessment. Our protocols follow WSAVA guidelines with clear documentation provided for pet passports and insurance purposes.
Dental Health
Advanced dental services include scale and polish procedures, extractions, and periodontal treatment using modern anaesthetic protocols. We offer home care guidance and dental diets to prevent disease progression. Regular check-ups help identify issues before they cause pain or systemic complications.
Neutering
Spaying and castration procedures follow strict surgical protocols with pre-anaesthetic checks and post-operative monitoring. We provide recovery suits and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. Our pricing includes pain management and aftercare advice to support pet wellbeing.
Exotic Services
Our exotic animal expertise covers birds, reptiles, and small mammals with species-specific anaesthesia and diagnostic capabilities. We offer nutritional consultations, beak/nail trims, and surgical interventions tailored to unique physiological needs. The team maintains continuing education in exotic medicine to ensure best practice standards.
