Services
General Practice
Our general practice covers vaccinations, microchipping, and annual health checks. We use modern vaccines and protocols to protect pets from infectious diseases. The consultation includes thorough examination and discussion of any concerns. Separate dog and cat waiting areas reduce stress during visits.
Laparoscopic Surgery
We offer minimally invasive laparoscopic spaying for female dogs. This technique uses small incisions, reducing recovery time and post-operative pain. Our specially trained surgeons use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise removal of ovaries with minimal trauma.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include descaling, polishing, and extractions under general anaesthetic. We address periodontal disease to prevent systemic infections. Experienced surgeons perform complex oral procedures, with pre-anaesthetic health checks ensuring patient safety during dental procedures.
Nurse Clinics
Our registered veterinary nurses provide non-urgent care including nail clipping, anal gland expression, and vaccination boosters. They offer expert advice on nutrition, behaviour, and chronic condition management like diabetes, with vet review required for ongoing medication.
Brucella Testing
We conduct Brucella canis screening for imported dogs, including in-house snap tests and APHA-certified blood testing. Our protocols follow DEFRA guidelines to prevent zoonotic transmission, with strict biosecurity measures during consultations for untested imported animals.
