Services
Keyhole Surgery
Our keyhole surgery offers safer, less painful procedures for pets, including spays, biopsies, and stone removal. This advanced technique ensures faster recovery times and reduced post-operative discomfort. We are among the few UK practices providing this specialist care for various abdominal and joint procedures.
Emergency Care
We provide out-of-hours emergency care through Vets Now, ensuring critical treatment is available when needed. Our facilities handle trauma cases, acute illnesses, and after-hours monitoring. Clients receive 24/7 access to veterinary advice via phone and video consultations with Pet Health Club Plus members.
Dental Assessments
Comprehensive dental examinations identify issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. We offer professional cleanings, extractions, and preventative care plans to maintain oral health. Early intervention helps avoid systemic health complications linked to poor dental hygiene in pets.
Vaccinations
Our vaccination programmes protect pets against common infectious diseases. Services include core vaccines for puppies/kittens, booster shots, and travel-specific immunisations. We provide documentation required for pet passports and international relocation, ensuring compliance with destination country regulations.
Wellness Screening
Annual wellness checks detect early signs of conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or arthritis. The 60 screening includes blood tests, weight analysis, and organ function evaluation. Early diagnosis allows timely intervention, improving long-term outcomes for chronic conditions in pets.
