Services
Vaccinations
Vaccinations protect pets from serious, contagious diseases. Our vets tailor vaccination plans to each pet's age, lifestyle, and health needs. Core vaccines are recommended for all pets, while non-core vaccines address specific risks. We provide full health checks during appointments and automated reminders for boosters. Puppies, kittens, and adult pets receive expert care to ensure lifelong immunity.
Neutering
Neutering prevents unwanted litters and improves pet health. We perform castrations and spay procedures under general anaesthetic, with post-operative checks included. Early neutering reduces behavioural issues and disease risks. Clients save 20% with Pet Health Club membership. Our team provides detailed aftercare guidance, including pain management and recovery monitoring, ensuring safe and stress-free procedures for pets and owners.

How do I access emergency veterinary care?
Call our main number (01903 202474) and select the emergency option to connect with Vets Now or P.E.T.S. Our partners provide 24/7 urgent care, with transfers arranged if needed for ongoing treatment.
Can I order pet prescriptions online?
Yes, but we recommend using accredited pharmacies with VMD certification. We issue written prescriptions upon request and require regular check-ups to ensure medication remains appropriate for your pet's condition.

We assess individual needs during consultations. While we encourage clinic visits for full diagnostic capabilities, our team can discuss mobility-friendly options for clients with accessibility challenges.
