Services
Keyhole Spaying
Our minimally invasive keyhole spaying procedure offers faster recovery and reduced discomfort for pets. Using advanced laparoscopic equipment, we perform this specialist surgery through two small incisions rather than traditional larger openings. This technique provides clearer surgical visibility while minimising post-operative complications, with most pets requiring only 2-3 days rest compared to 10-14 days for conventional methods.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our protocols include protection against four leptospirosis strains and offer extended coverage for puppies through additional 16-week and 26-week vaccinations. We utilise serology testing to determine vaccination needs and maintain strict adherence to WSAVA guidelines for optimal disease prevention.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities include digital radiography, ultrasound scanning, and dental imaging. These tools enable precise internal examination of bones, organs, and soft tissues, supporting accurate diagnosis of conditions ranging from fractures to cardiac issues. We also offer blood pressure monitoring and in-house laboratory testing for comprehensive health assessments.
Pet Physiotherapy
Available at our Market Harborough branch, our physiotherapy service specialises in post-operative recovery and chronic condition management. Using techniques like laser therapy and PEMF treatment, we help pets regain mobility and manage pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis. Each session includes customised home exercise plans to support ongoing recovery and improved quality of life.
Animal Health Certificates
We issue EU-compliant Animal Health Certificates for pets travelling from Great Britain. Our service includes rabies vaccination certification, tapeworm treatment documentation, and microchip verification. We provide guidance on country-specific requirements and maintain compliance with DEFRA regulations for pet travel to EU destinations and Northern Ireland.
