Services
Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for dogs and cats, including protection against parvovirus, leptospirosis, distemper, feline leukaemia, and other infectious diseases. Our protocols follow veterinary best practices while considering individual pet needs. Vaccinations form a crucial part of preventative healthcare, helping prevent serious illnesses and maintain overall pet wellness.
Dental Care
Our dental services include scaling, polishing, and digital X-ray diagnostics for comprehensive oral health assessment. Regular dental maintenance prevents periodontal disease and associated systemic complications. We use modern equipment to ensure thorough yet gentle treatment, with special attention to anaesthetic safety and post-operative care for optimal patient outcomes.
Emergency Treatment
We offer emergency veterinary services through our partnership with VetsNow, providing 24/7 access to critical care specialists. Our facilities support immediate diagnostics and stabilisation before transferring complex cases. Emergency care includes trauma management, poisoning treatment, and acute medical interventions, with seamless communication between our practice and emergency providers.
Lab Diagnostics
Our in-house laboratory enables rapid blood and urine analysis with results available within minutes. This capability allows immediate diagnosis of conditions like infections, organ dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. We perform complete blood counts, biochemistry panels, and urinalysis, reducing diagnostic delays and enabling prompt treatment initiation for improved patient outcomes.
Surgical Procedures
We conduct various surgical procedures using two dedicated operating theatres with heated tables and advanced monitoring equipment. Services include soft tissue surgery, orthopaedics, and emergency interventions. Our facilities maintain strict sterility standards while optimising anaesthetic safety and post-operative recovery through temperature-controlled environments and modern pain management techniques.
