Services
Emergency Care
We provide round-the-clock emergency veterinary care through our Thornbury Hospital in partnership with Vets Now. Our team handles critical cases including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses during evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Full access to patient medical records ensures continuity of care while emergency consultations and treatments follow the same high standards as regular hours.
Pet Health Club
Our Pet Health Club offers comprehensive preventative care through monthly payment plans covering vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, and six-month health checks. Members receive discounts on dental procedures and neutering while spreading routine care costs throughout the year. The Plus plan includes consultation fees, providing financial predictability for pet healthcare needs.
Laparoscopic Surgery
We perform minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures including spays and cryptorchid castrations. This technique reduces pain by 65% compared to traditional methods, with faster recovery times and smaller incisions. Our surgeons use advanced endoscopic equipment to enhance precision while maintaining the same long-term health outcomes as conventional surgery.
Ophthalmology
Our specialist ophthalmology team treats conditions like corneal ulcers, glaucoma, and entropion. We perform intraocular surgeries including cataract removal and conjunctival grafts using advanced diagnostic tools. Treatment plans focus on restoring vision and managing chronic eye diseases through both medical and surgical interventions.
Cat Friendly Clinic
As a Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic, we provide stress-reduced environments with separate waiting areas, feline pheromone diffusers, and dedicated hospitalisation wards. Our staff follows ISFM guidelines for gentle handling while offering tailored advice on transportation, nutrition, and chronic condition management for cats.
