Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary service provides immediate care for critical animal health issues. Available for small animals, farm livestock, and equines, our qualified team handles trauma, poisoning, birthing complications, and other urgent cases. We maintain dedicated facilities and equipment to stabilise patients before ongoing treatment, ensuring continuous support for unexpected veterinary emergencies across the Angus region.
Dental Surgery
We offer comprehensive dental services including routine check-ups, extractions, and advanced procedures for animals. Our facilities include digital X-ray equipment for accurate diagnosis of dental issues. The service covers both small animals and equines, with specialists performing routine cleanings and complex oral surgeries to maintain optimal dental health and prevent systemic infections.
Ultrasound Scanning
Our diagnostic imaging service utilises modern ultrasound technology for internal organ assessment. Available for all species we treat, this non-invasive technique helps diagnose conditions affecting the abdomen, heart, and musculoskeletal system. Portable equipment enables on-farm examinations for large animals, while our clinic provides detailed scans for small pets and equines requiring specialist evaluation.
Vaccinations
We administer essential vaccinations to protect animals against common infectious diseases. Our protocols follow current veterinary guidelines for small pets, farm livestock, and horses. The service includes health checks prior to vaccination and tailored schedules for different species, ensuring compliance with legal requirements for animal transportation while maintaining optimal immune protection across all age groups.
Microchipping
Our permanent identification service implants microchips in pets and livestock for security and traceability. The procedure complies with UK pet travel regulations and farming identification requirements. We register chips on national databases and provide documentation for ownership verification, helping reunite lost animals with their owners while supporting responsible animal management practices.
