24/7 Emergency Care
Our practice provides round-the-clock emergency veterinary care with experienced staff available at all times. Vets Now partners handle overnight emergencies at our Kingswells hospital, while our dedicated equine team offers 24/7 support for horses. Farm animal emergencies receive immediate attention with rapid response capabilities across the Aberdeen region.
CT Scanning
We offer state-of-the-art CT scanning facilities for precise diagnostic imaging. This technology enables detailed examination of internal structures, guiding complex surgical planning and treatment decisions. Our equipment produces high-resolution 3D images that enhance diagnostic accuracy while minimising patient discomfort through rapid scanning processes.
Equine Dentistry
Comprehensive equine dental services include routine examinations, sedated procedures, and advanced treatments. Our vets use motorised equipment and specialist tools for thorough oral assessments, addressing dental issues that affect performance and wellbeing. Complex cases benefit from referral to visiting dental specialists for specialist interventions.
Farm Animal Health Planning
Tailored herd and flock health planning forms the core of our farm animal services. We deliver preventative care strategies, disease testing programmes, and productivity-enhancing advice. Our experienced farm vets provide on-farm consultations and training courses covering artificial insemination, lambing management, and responsible medicine use.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery offers faster recovery times for procedures like spaying. Our dedicated operating theatre and specialist equipment enable reduced trauma interventions with shorter post-operative recovery periods. This advanced technique requires specific patient preparation and specialist surgical expertise.
