Pet vaccinations
Our vaccination programmes protect pets from life-threatening diseases through tailored schedules. Puppies receive full courses while adult pets get annual boosters. We advise on travel and kennel requirements, providing rabies vaccinations and health certificates. All vaccinations include a comprehensive health check and automated reminders.
24-hour emergency care
Partnering with Vets Now, we provide round-the-clock emergency treatment at our Worthing hospital. Our team handles critical cases including trauma, poisoning, and acute illness. Emergency equipment includes digital imaging and intensive care facilities. Owners receive preparation guidance before arrival to streamline urgent care.
Wellness screening
Annual wellness screens detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other conditions in mature pets. The 30-minute assessment combines blood/urine tests with physical examinations. Results within 10 days include specialist interpretation, with follow-up plans for abnormal findings. Pet Health Club members receive discounts on screening services.
Microchipping
Permanent microchipping services ensure pet recovery if lost. The rice-sized chip, inserted between shoulder blades, contains owner contact details. We follow legal requirements for dog microchipping while recommending the service for all pets. Success stories include reuniting cats with families after extended periods.
Neutering services
We offer traditional and laparoscopic spaying for dogs from five months old. Keyhole surgery reduces recovery time and post-operative pain. Castration services for cats and rabbits prevent unwanted litters while improving behavioural issues. All procedures include pre-anaesthetic checks and post-operative follow-ups.
