Services
Pet vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Our core vaccines protect against life-threatening diseases like distemper, leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia. Non-core vaccines are tailored to individual lifestyles, with expert guidance on travel requirements and boarding needs. All vaccinations include a full health check and automated reminders.
Wellness screening
Our mature pet wellness screens detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other age-related conditions. The 30-minute assessment includes blood tests, urine analysis, dental examination, and mobility evaluation. Recommended annually for cats over 7, dogs over 5, and giant breeds from age 3, with discounted rates for Pet Health Club members.
Emergency care
We offer emergency veterinary services during practice hours, with priority given to critical cases. Out-of-hours emergencies are handled by Vets Now, our partner provider with 24/7 facilities. Our dedicated ambulance transports inpatients for weekend care, maintaining treatment continuity through detailed medical handovers and follow-up appointments.
Pet nutrition
Our nutritionists provide evidence-based dietary recommendations for pets with medical conditions. We stock prescription diets for renal disease, food allergies, and gastrointestinal issues, with probiotic supplements to support digestive health. Hydrolysed diets are available for allergy management, while mobility support formulas contain omega-3 fatty acids for joint health.
Pet Health Club
Our Pet Health Club offers cost-effective preventative care through monthly direct debits. Membership includes core vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, six-month health checks, and discounts on neutering and dental procedures.
