Services
Veterinary Consultations
Our consultations involve thorough clinical examinations and tailored treatment plans. Vets assess pets' health, address concerns, and recommend diagnostics or therapies. Follow-ups ensure treatment effectiveness. Referrals to specialists are arranged when needed, prioritising pets' welfare throughout.
Neutering Services
We offer neutering for cats, dogs, and rabbits, with age-specific advice to prevent disease and manage population. Procedures include spaying and castration under anaesthesia, with post-operative care and pain management included in the service.
Dental Care
Dental clinics address periodontal disease, extractions, and oral surgery. Services include scale and polish, x-rays, and home care advice. Fixed-price packages cover pre-operative checks, anaesthesia, and post-operative support to maintain pets' dental health.
Wellness Screenings
Annual wellness screenings for pets over 5 (dogs) or 7 (cats) include blood tests, urine analysis, and physical exams. These detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, or diabetes, enabling proactive management to prolong healthy lifespans.
Pet Vaccinations
Core vaccinations protect against distemper, leptospirosis, and cat flu, with boosters to maintain immunity. Puppies and kittens receive tailored schedules, while travel or boarding requirements are addressed with additional vaccines as needed.
