Services
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent life-threatening diseases. Our veterinary nurses conduct full health checks before administering vaccines, ensuring pets receive tailored protection based on lifestyle and age. Booster schedules are carefully managed through automated reminders to maintain continuous immunity against conditions like distemper, leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia.
Emergency Care
Critical pet care is available 24/7 through our partnership with Vets Now clinics. Our team coordinates emergency referrals for after-hours incidents, providing seamless case handovers with complete clinical history. While we don't operate midnight surgeries directly, our daytime staff receive regular emergency training to prepare for daytime crisis situations requiring immediate intervention.
Dental Procedures
Our dental suite features digital x-ray equipment for comprehensive oral health assessments. We perform scale and polish treatments, tooth extractions, and corrective procedures for rabbits and guinea pigs under general anaesthesia. Preventative care advice includes home dental hygiene techniques and diet recommendations to reduce tartar buildup and gum disease progression.
Pet Health Club
This preventative healthcare scheme offers monthly direct debit payments covering core vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, and routine check-ups. Members receive exclusive discounts on additional services while maintaining flexible payment options. The Plus plan includes unlimited consultations and 24/7 veterinary advice access through telemedicine platforms.
In-House Diagnostics
We operate state-of-the-art IDEXX laboratory equipment for rapid blood, urine, and tissue analysis. Our diagnostic capabilities include biochemistry panels, haematology testing, and thyroid function monitoring. Complementary imaging services feature ultrasound scans, digital radiography, and dental x-ray machines to support accurate diagnoses within the same consultation period.
