Services
Vaccinations
Vaccinations protect pets from life-threatening diseases through tailored schedules. Core vaccines for dogs include distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis, while cats receive coverage for feline herpesvirus and panleukopaenia. Annual boosters maintain immunity, with specific protocols for rabbits against myxomatosis and haemorrhagic disease. Our team ensures compliance with UK travel requirements for Animal Health Certificates.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services address plaque, gingivitis, and tooth resorption in pets. We perform dental radiography, scale and polish procedures, and offer home care advice. Early detection during annual check-ups prevents severe disease, with species-specific treatments for dogs, cats, and rabbits to alleviate pain and improve overall health.
Neutering
Neutering services include spaying and castration to prevent unwanted litters and improve health. We advise on optimal timing for dogs and cats, addressing behavioural benefits and medical advantages like reduced cancer risks. Specialised protocols for rabbits ensure safe cohabitation and reduced aggression, with individual consultations for all pet types.
Microchipping
Mandatory microchipping services for dogs and cats ensure permanent identification. The quick, minimally invasive procedure involves implanting a rice-sized chip under the skin, registered to owner contact details. We assist with database updates and compliance, crucial for reuniting lost pets with their families.
Pet Health Plan
Our Pet Health Plan simplifies preventative care with monthly payments covering vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, and dental checks. This cost-effective approach ensures continuous protection against parasites and early detection of health issues, promoting long-term wellness through structured, budget-friendly healthcare.
Questions
What pet species do Ash Tree Vets treat?
We treat dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and other small animals, with specialist expertise in their unique healthcare needs.
How do I prepare my pet for dental treatment?
Avoid feeding hard foods before appointments and bring any current medications. Our team will guide you through pre-operative checks and anaesthesia protocols.
What travel documentation does my pet need post-Brexit?
Pets require an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for EU travel, microchip identification, and valid rabies vaccination. We need four weeks' notice to prepare these documents.
Are cat-friendly clinic appointments available?
Yes – our Desborough branch offers cat-only Friday appointments between 2pm-3:30pm, with dedicated cat parking and calming facilities to reduce stress.
How does the Pet Health Plan work?
The plan spreads preventative care costs into monthly payments, covering vaccinations, parasite control, and dental checks to maintain your pet's long-term health.
What happens during a pet euthanasia consultation?
We discuss your pet's quality of life, perform a physical exam, and explain the procedure. You'll sign consent forms, and we'll provide aftercare options including cremation services.
