Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for cats, dogs, and rabbits to prevent infectious diseases. Our veterinary surgeons administer primary courses and annual boosters following thorough health examinations. We recommend rabies vaccinations for pets travelling abroad under the Pet Travel Scheme. Our practice sends timely reminders to ensure continuous protection for your pets.
Operations
Our fully equipped surgical facilities handle routine and complex procedures including neutering, lump removals, and orthopaedic surgeries. Experienced veterinary teams perform pre-operative assessments and post-operative care with modern anaesthetic monitoring equipment. We prioritise pain management and individualised care for all surgical patients across our three Coventry locations.
Nurse Clinics
Qualified veterinary nurses conduct routine health assessments for pets in good condition. Services include weight management, flea/worming advice, nail trimming, and post-operative checks. Appointments require recent veterinary examination within the past 12 months, ensuring continuity of care across our experienced clinical team.
Puppy Parties
Evening puppy socialisation events at our main site help young dogs develop positive behaviours. Veterinary nurses provide care advice while professional trainers demonstrate obedience techniques. These free sessions for 'Puppy Package' recipients include practical demonstrations and networking opportunities for pet owners in a controlled, safe environment.

Through the VidiVet app, pet owners access immediate veterinary guidance day or night. The service allows photo/video submissions for rapid assessment and treatment recommendations.

Lola was seen within 15 minutes of me ringing up, after a day on iv fluids, charcoal and bloods she really didnt want to come home, she was in love with the nurse who looked after her. Trip back for post op check up this morning, couldnt get in there quick enough! Fabulous staff and care, the vet even let my granddaughter listen to Lolas heart and checked over her cuddly dog Rudy thank you all.

Amazing staff and very professional. Despite not being registered they were able to help when I forgot needles for my diabetic dog. I managed to pop in and get everything sorted really quickly and carry on with my journey.
