Services
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive laser therapy provides pain relief and accelerates healing for pets without requiring sedation. This treatment effectively addresses both acute conditions like wounds and chronic issues such as arthritis. The therapy stimulates cellular activity to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote tissue regeneration. Our veterinary team applies this technology for post-surgical recovery and musculoskeletal pain management, offering a drug-free alternative for pets requiring long-term care.
Neutering
We provide comprehensive neutering services for various pet species, performed by qualified veterinary surgeons. This essential procedure prevents unwanted breeding while offering health benefits including reduced cancer risk and behavioural improvements. Our team offers post-operative care guidance and follow-up checks to ensure proper recovery. The service includes pre-surgical health assessments to guarantee patient safety during the procedure.
Nurse Clinics
Our registered veterinary nurses conduct specialised clinics covering weight management, dental care, and senior pet wellness. These sessions include tailored advice on nutrition, preventative healthcare, and age-related concerns. We offer adolescent guidance for new pet owners and species-specific husbandry advice for small animals. The clinics provide accessible, cost-effective healthcare solutions focused on preventative medicine and early disease detection.
Wellness Screenings
Comprehensive wellness screenings offer early disease detection for adult pets through physical examinations and diagnostic testing. These assessments include blood pressure measurement, urine analysis, and organ function tests to identify potential health issues. Recommended annually for pets aged five years and older, the screenings help maintain optimal health through timely intervention. Pet Health Club members receive discounted rates on this preventative care service.
Emergency Services
Emergency veterinary treatment is available through our dedicated out-of-hours providers at South Devon Veterinary Hospital. The service operates daily with specified emergency clinic hours for urgent medical situations. Our team coordinates with the emergency facility to ensure continuity of care for patients requiring immediate attention outside regular business hours.
