Pet Vaccinations
Protect pets from life-threatening diseases through tailored vaccination programs. Our vets administer core vaccines for puppies, kittens, and adult animals while providing lifestyle-specific advice. Vaccination schedules include reminders to maintain protection, with options for travel and kennel requirements. We follow strict protocols to ensure safety and efficacy.
Emergency Care
24/7 emergency veterinary services for critical conditions. Partnering with ICR Vets, we provide after-hours care for accidents, poisoning, and severe illnesses. Our team handles triage, stabilisation, and specialist interventions including digital imaging and in-house laboratory diagnostics. Emergency consultations prioritise rapid assessment and pain management.
Pet Acupuncture
Specialist acupuncture treatment for chronic pain and mobility issues. This non-invasive therapy effectively manages arthritis, muscle strains, and neurological conditions through weekly sessions. 80% of patients show improvement within four treatments, with minimal need for sedation. Sessions integrate with conventional treatments for holistic care.
Pet Nutrition
Customised nutritional plans addressing medical conditions and preventive care. We recommend science-backed diets for renal disease, food allergies, and gastrointestinal issues. Our team provides probiotic recommendations, weight management programs, and hydration strategies using prescription diets from trusted brands like Royal Canin and Hills.
Wellness Screening
Preventive healthcare assessments for mature pets to detect early-stage conditions. Annual screenings include blood tests, urine analysis, and physical examinations to identify kidney disease, arthritis, and dental issues. Early detection enables timely intervention, with discounted rates available for Pet Health Club members.
