Services
Laparoscopic Spay
Laparoscopic spaying uses minimally invasive techniques to remove a dog's ovaries. Two small incisions allow insertion of a camera and surgical instruments, reducing pain and recovery time. This method preserves the womb while eliminating hormone-driven health risks like pyometra. Patients typically return home the same day with faster healing compared to traditional spays.
Cruciate Repair
Our Z-Lig technique reconstructs torn cruciate ligaments using synthetic material to restore knee stability. This anatomic repair promotes quicker recovery with less muscle wastage compared to traditional methods. Post-operative rehabilitation guidance ensures optimal mobility restoration. We also offer extracapsular repair for suitable cases, balancing effectiveness with cost considerations.
Laser Therapy
Class 3 laser treatments stimulate cellular healing for conditions like arthritis, wounds, and soft tissue injuries. The non-invasive procedure reduces inflammation and pain while accelerating tissue repair. Sessions last 15-30 minutes with visible improvements often seen within weeks. Pets typically find the treatment relaxing, experiencing it as a gentle massage-like sensation.
Health Plan
Our monthly subscription covers essential preventive treatments including flea/worm control and annual boosters. Plans start at 13.50 for cats and include discounts on additional vaccines like kennel cough. The optional postal service ensures medication delivery for 2.50 extra, providing convenience for busy pet owners seeking consistent preventive care.
Diagnostic Imaging
We utilise digital X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy for accurate internal diagnostics. Our modern equipment enables detailed visualisation of organs, bones, and soft tissues. In-house blood testing machines provide rapid haematology and biochemistry results, supporting timely diagnosis and treatment planning for both emergency and routine cases.
