Vaccinations
We provide essential vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent serious diseases. Core vaccines protect against contagious illnesses, while lifestyle-specific options are tailored to your pet's needs. Our team ensures proper scheduling and booster reminders to maintain immunity, with expert advice on travel requirements and kennel stays.
Dentistry
Our dental services include routine check-ups, scale and polish procedures, and tooth extractions under anaesthesia. We offer nurse-led clinics for home care guidance and advanced treatments like laparoscopic surgery. Preventative care advice helps owners maintain oral hygiene between professional interventions.
Microchipping
We implant permanent microchips for pet identification, complying with UK legal requirements for dogs. The procedure ensures reunification of lost pets with owners. We assist with database registration and updating contact details through official providers.
Neutering
We offer spaying and castration services for dogs, cats, and rabbits using conventional and laparoscopic techniques. Our vets advise on optimal timing based on breed and health factors, with post-operative care guidance to ensure comfortable recovery.
