Taking detailed x-ray images of your pet, the procedure works in the same way as it does for humans - and offers the same benefits, if not more! To visualise your pet clearly - Our CT scanner allows us to look closely at your pet's organs, muscles, bones or other internal body parts in order to better identify the cause of potential problems - these may be fractured bones, tumours or many others.

We can give advice on accommodation, exercise, neutering, health care, vaccinations and how to be aware of Flystrike, a distressing disease which can be avoided with proper care and attention to your rabbit. As an increasing number of pets become overweight, we are seeing further health problems develop such as heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. These clinics provide the opportunity to develop a tailor-made weight-loss plan for your pet.

read moreAcupuncture has been used for many centuries and is the painless positioning of very fine needles to specific points of the body, with good effect. Most used for its pain-killing effect, with animals there can be no placebo effect. The needles act on the nerve impulses at the affected site. We regularly perform acupuncture to several small animal patients, who tolerate the acupuncture well. It is usually performed in a normal consultation appointment, by a qualified vet, who will place the needles in the animal and leave them in for 5-15 minutes.

Home visits, by a nurse or a veterinary surgeon and ambulance pickups can all be made by arrangement over the phone.

When he/she is ready to go home, we will then return your pet to your local branch surgery.
