Services
Pet Acupuncture
Our veterinary-accredited acupuncture service treats canine pain conditions like arthritis and back pain. Using ultra-fine needles, we stimulate nerve pathways to trigger natural pain relief. Most pets show improvement within three days, with 80% responding positively to treatment. Sessions combine traditional techniques with modern veterinary science for optimal outcomes.
Laparoscopic Spay
This minimally invasive procedure uses three small incisions instead of traditional abdominal surgery. Pets recover faster with reduced post-operative discomfort. Available for dogs over 10kg at our Petersfield surgery, the technique requires specialist equipment and trained veterinary surgeons. The procedure typically costs more than conventional spaying methods.
Mobile Vet Service
Susie Shanks MRCVS provides home veterinary care across our service area. Services include vaccinations, nail clipping, blood sampling, and end-of-life care. Ideal for pets with transport anxiety or mobility issues, this service brings professional veterinary treatment directly to your doorstep while maintaining full practice standards.
Nurse Clinics
Qualified veterinary nurses conduct 10-minute consultations at three surgery locations. Services include weight management, dental checks, flea control advice, and microchipping. Nurses also assist with tablet administration and provide tailored pet care guidance. Appointments available at Petersfield, Horndean, and Farlington surgeries.
Pet Travel Certificates
We issue EU-compliant Animal Health Certificates for pet travel. Services include rabies vaccination certification and pre-travel health checks. Official Veterinarians complete required documentation for EU and non-EU destinations. Clients must book appointments at least four weeks before travel dates to ensure compliance with import regulations.
