Services
Veterinary Services
Our comprehensive veterinary services cover preventative care, diagnostics, and treatment for small animals. With 24 qualified professionals, we provide emergency care, surgical procedures, and chronic condition management. The practice's modern facilities include digital radiography and specialist ophthalmology equipment, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans tailored to each pet's needs.
Acupuncture
This ancient Chinese therapy uses fine needles to stimulate healing points in animals. We offer acupuncture for pain management, anxiety relief, and allergy treatment in pets. Each 30-minute session costs 52.80, with treatment plans typically starting weekly before tapering to monthly maintenance. Many insurance policies cover this service.
Nurse Clinics
Our registered veterinary nurses provide expert advice on weight management, dietary planning, and chronic condition management. Clinics include claw clipping, medication administration, and post-operative check-ups. These sessions offer preventative care guidance and practical support for pet owners seeking to maintain their animals' long-term wellbeing through tailored healthcare plans.
Dental Radiography
We utilise mobile digital dental X-ray technology to diagnose hidden oral issues in animals. This service reduces anaesthetic time by enabling in-practice imaging. Full mouth radiographs are included with all cat dental procedures, detecting painful conditions like resorptive lesions that aren't visible during routine examinations, ensuring comprehensive dental care.
Cat Friendly Practice
As International Cat Care Gold Standard accredited practitioners, we provide specialist cat care environments. Our facilities feature stress-reducing designs and feline-specific handling techniques. The practice offers dedicated cat waiting areas and treatment rooms designed to make feline patients feel safe and comfortable during their visits.
