Services
Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Our protocols follow Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons guidelines and include core vaccines for canine distemper, feline enteritis, and rabies certification for international travel. We also advise on travel-specific vaccines for southern European destinations.
Neutering
Our neutering services cover cats and dogs from six months old. We provide pre-operative consultations and post-operative care, addressing behavioural and health benefits including prevention of pyometra in females and reduced prostate disease risk in males. We also advise on optimal timing for different breeds.
Dental care
We offer complete dental services including ultrasonic scaling, extractions, and preventative care. Our purpose-designed dental suite enables thorough examinations under anaesthesia. We address periodontal disease links to systemic health issues and provide home care guidance for maintaining oral hygiene between check-ups.
Pet Passports
Our Official Veterinary Inspectors issue Animal Health Certificates for EU travel and international export. We handle all documentation requirements including rabies titres, microchipping, and parasite treatments. We advise on current Brexit-related travel regulations and country-specific entry requirements.
House Visits
We provide home visits for nervous pets or owners with mobility challenges. Our principal vet conducts these appointments after morning clinic hours, offering the same comprehensive care in familiar surroundings. We recommend advance booking to coordinate with our regular schedule.

Questions
What vaccinations does my puppy need?
Puppies require core vaccines against distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza starting at 8 weeks. We also recommend kennel cough vaccination for social dogs.
When should I neuter my cat?
We recommend neutering both male and female cats at 6 months to prevent unwanted pregnancies and health issues. Early neutering helps avoid territorial behaviours and disease risks.
Do you offer dental treatments for pets?
Yes, we provide comprehensive dental care including ultrasonic scaling, extractions, and oral examinations under anaesthesia. Our dedicated dental suite ensures thorough treatment of periodontal disease.
How do I get a pet passport?
We issue Animal Health Certificates for EU travel. Requirements include rabies vaccination, microchipping, and parasite treatments. Bring existing documentation and allow time for pre-travel health checks.
Are house visits available?
Yes, Kevin Clifford provides house visits after morning clinic hours. Please call in advance to schedule appointments for nervous pets or mobility-impaired owners.
What parasite prevention do you recommend?
We recommend quarterly worming with Milbemax and monthly flea control. Advocate spot-on treats lungworm, while Scalibor collars protect against sand flies when travelling to southern Europe.
