Services
Pet vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and rabbits, tailored to each pet's lifestyle and age. Our protocols follow the latest veterinary guidelines while minimising unnecessary boosters. Core vaccines protect against life-threatening diseases like parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukaemia, with additional recommendations for pets requiring kennelling or international travel. All vaccinations include a full health check and personalised advice.
Holistic care
Our integrated approach combines conventional medicine with complementary therapies including acupuncture, laser treatment, and herbal medicine. These evidence-based modalities reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals while promoting natural healing. Wendy McGrandles, our homeopathic specialist, develops customised treatment plans for chronic conditions, pain management, and wellness support, working alongside traditional veterinary diagnostics and interventions.
Home visits
Veterinary services delivered at your doorstep for stressed, elderly, or mobility-impaired pets. We conduct full health assessments, administer treatments, and provide end-of-life care in the comfort of your home. This service benefits multi-pet households and families with young children, reducing stress while maintaining high standards of medical evaluation and patient handling.
Wellness screening
Preventative health assessments for mature pets, including blood tests, urine analysis, and physical examinations. These screenings detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other age-related conditions in cats over seven and dogs over five. The 30-minute appointment includes dietary advice, parasite prevention review, and tailored recommendations for maintaining optimal health.
Emergency services
Out-of-hours emergency veterinary care for critical conditions requiring immediate attention. Our cover includes initial assessment, stabilisation, and follow-up treatment for accidents, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Clients receive clear guidance on accessing emergency services through our dedicated contact system, ensuring continuity of care with daytime medical records available to on-call staff.
