Services
Emergency Care
Our out-of-hours emergency service provides critical care for pets after clinic hours. Partnering with leading local providers, we ensure access to qualified vets and nurses 24/7 for accidents, illnesses, or sudden health crises. The team offers immediate phone advice and triage, with facilities equipped to handle emergencies ranging from trauma to poisoning. Clients are counselled on potential costs before treatment begins, and we recommend pet insurance for financial peace of mind.
Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for cats, dogs, and rabbits to prevent life-threatening diseases. Services include primary courses for kittens and puppies, annual boosters, and tailored advice on disease risks. Our protocols follow strict guidelines to ensure immunity against conditions like parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukaemia. Vaccination records are maintained for boarding requirements, and our Complete Wellness Plan covers core vaccines as part of preventative care.
Neutering
Spaying and castration services are available for cats and dogs from 5-6 months old. The procedure reduces health risks like cancers and infections while addressing behavioural issues such as roaming and spraying. Pre-operative assessments ensure surgical safety, and post-op care includes pain management and follow-up checks. Discounts are offered on neutering through our wellness plans, with detailed guidance provided on recovery and long-term benefits.
Pet Insurance
We recommend pet insurance to cover unexpected illnesses or injuries, offering guidance on policy selection and claims processes. Our Complete Wellness Plan includes routine care coverage, while partnerships with providers ensure competitive rates. Clients receive transparent cost estimates before treatment, with options to spread payments for major procedures. Insurance advice is integrated into all consultations to help owners prepare for their pet's healthcare needs.
Wellness Plans
The Complete Wellness Plan offers cost-effective, monthly packages covering vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, and routine check-ups. Tailored to different life stages, plans include unlimited consultations and discounts on services like dental work and neutering. By spreading costs and focusing on early disease detection, these plans promote proactive healthcare. Members receive priority booking and personalised reminders for scheduled treatments.
