Services
Pet vaccinations
Comprehensive vaccination programmes for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Our protocols follow WSAVA guidelines while considering individual lifestyle factors. We provide core vaccines against distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukaemia, with travel-specific options available. Each appointment includes health checks and tailored advice to ensure optimal protection against preventable diseases.
Wellness screening
Advanced diagnostic assessments for mature pets, combining blood tests, urine analysis, and physical examinations. Our screens detect early-stage kidney disease, arthritis, and metabolic disorders in apparently healthy animals. The 30-minute appointments include dietary reviews and preventive care recommendations, with results interpreted by experienced veterinary surgeons within 10 days.
Emergency care
24/7 triage system prioritising critical cases through immediate clinical assessment. Our facilities handle trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses with on-site diagnostics and emergency surgical capabilities. For complex cases, we coordinate rapid transfers to specialist centres while providing stabilisation care and client support throughout the treatment process.
Pet nutrition advice
Scientifically formulated feeding programmes for medical conditions including renal disease and food allergies. We offer hydrolysed diets, probiotic supplements, and weight management solutions. Our nutritional consultations address gastrointestinal issues, mobility support through omega-3 supplements, and hydration strategies for pets with urinary conditions.
Specialist referrals
Access to board-certified veterinary specialists through regional referral centres. We coordinate complex treatments like orthopaedic surgery and oncology while maintaining primary care responsibilities. Our practice also hosts visiting specialists for in-house procedures, reducing the need for multiple facility transfers while ensuring continuity of care.
