Pet Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent serious diseases. Our veterinary team offers tailored advice based on your pet's lifestyle and age. Core vaccines protect against distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirus, cat flu, and feline leukaemia, with additional travel-specific vaccines available.
Wellness Screening
Our six-month wellness screens detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other conditions in mature pets. The 30-minute assessment includes blood/urine tests, dental checks, and mobility evaluations. Early detection enables timely intervention to maintain your pet's quality of life.
Surgical Procedures
We perform sterile surgical operations in our dedicated theatre with continuous patient monitoring. Services include routine spaying/neutering and emergency procedures. Pre-anaesthetic blood tests ensure safety, with night nursing support available for critical post-operative care.
