Emergency Care
Our emergency veterinary service operates 24/7, providing critical care for pets in distress. Equipped with advanced facilities like blood transfusion capabilities and emergency theatres, our team manages hundreds of emergencies annually. Clients benefit from immediate pain relief, priority triage, and access to specialists in critical care.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive laparoscopic spays reduce recovery time and post-operative pain. Using precision instruments and a camera, we remove ovaries through small incisions. Patients receive free post-op checks and tailored exercise plans, ensuring faster healing with smaller wounds and fewer complications.
Dental Procedures
Comprehensive dental care includes two-stage treatments for advanced disease. Stage I involves x-rays and cleaning under anaesthesia, while Stage II addresses extractions and oral surgery. Our team uses digital imaging and offers 10% discounts for Pet Health Club members, prioritising long-term oral health.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy improves mobility and muscle strength through controlled underwater treadmill sessions. Tailored programmes for arthritis, post-surgery recovery, and weight management are designed by certified physiotherapists. The only Norwich-region facility with a dedicated hydrotherapist-led treadmill supports rehabilitation.
Pet Boarding
The Cat Hotel offers luxury boarding in air-conditioned enclosures with 24/7 veterinary oversight. Features include sneeze barriers, raised platforms, and three daily health checks. Pet Health Club members receive 10% off stays, with diabetic care available at an additional cost.
