Pet vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-specific vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including rabies and kennel cough protection. Our team ensures pets are microchipped and vaccinated according to travel and boarding requirements. Vaccinations are included in Pet Health Club plans, with automated reminders to avoid missed boosters.
Pet wellness screening
Our six-month wellness screens include blood and urine tests, joint assessments, and dental checks for mature pets. Early detection of kidney disease, arthritis, or diabetes helps extend pets' lifespans. Screenings cost 85, with discounts for Pet Health Club members, and include tailored dietary and treatment advice.

In-house grooming services in Saltcoats include bathing, breed-standard clipping, and sedated grooming under veterinary supervision. Our certified groomers offer nail clipping and hand-stripping, with a 10% discount for Pet Health Club members. Grooming supports skin and coat health, reducing infection risks.
