Pet Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent infectious diseases. Our protocols follow the latest veterinary guidelines while considering individual pet lifestyles. Core vaccines protect against distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukaemia, with travel-specific options available. All vaccinations include a full health check to ensure pets are fit for immunisation.
Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary service handles critical pet health issues at any hour. Equipped facilities and experienced night staff ensure immediate attention for accidents, poisoning, and acute illnesses. We prioritise rapid triage and stabilisation before transferring patients to daytime surgeries when appropriate. Emergency consultations maintain the same high care standards as regular appointments.
Wellness Screening
Comprehensive health assessments for mature pets detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other age-related conditions. The 30-minute screening includes blood tests, urine analysis, and joint mobility evaluation. Early detection enables proactive management through diet, supplements, or targeted treatments. Annual wellness checks recommended for cats over seven and dogs over five years old.
Pet Nutrition
Our qualified nutritional advisors create custom feeding plans for pets with specific health needs. We recommend premium veterinary diets for weight management, renal support, and gastrointestinal conditions. Services include allergy elimination trials, obesity management, and probiotic supplementation. We also advise on safe human food alternatives and portion control strategies.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification through safe, painless microchip implantation. We follow international standards for chip placement and registration. Services include database updates, chip verification scans, and travel-specific microchipping for EU Pet Travel Scheme compliance. All procedures performed without anaesthesia in standard domestic species.
