Services
Vaccinations
We provide tailored vaccination programmes for puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats. Our protocols follow RCVS guidelines while considering individual risk factors. Vaccines protect against common diseases like feline leukaemia, canine parvovirus and rabies. Annual boosters maintain immunity, with titre testing available as an alternative. Our early vaccination schedule starts at 8 weeks for puppies and 9 weeks for kittens.
Neutering
Our early neutering programme starts at 4 months for cats and 6 months for dogs. We perform standard spays and castrations using modern anaesthetic protocols. Pre-operative blood tests are recommended for older pets. The procedure prevents unwanted litters and reduces health risks like pyometra in cats and testicular cancer in dogs. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up checks.
Surgery
We offer advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries including cruciate ligament repair, patellar luxation correction and brachycephalic syndrome treatment. Our surgical suite uses Sevoflurane anaesthesia for precise control. Post-operative care incorporates cold laser therapy and rehabilitation plans. Complex cases benefit from referral partnerships with Vet Practice Support for specialist diagnostics and second opinions.
Health Plans
Our monthly payment plans cover core preventative care including vaccinations, flea/worming treatments and six health checks annually. Plans include 10% discounts on additional services and products. Weight-based pricing ensures affordability for all dog sizes. Benefits extend to nail clipping, anal gland expression and microchipping. Plans help spread costs while maintaining consistent preventative care.
Emergency Care
We provide 24/7 emergency cover through Holly House Vets in Moortown. Critical cases receive immediate attention with access to in-house diagnostics and surgical facilities. Emergency consultations cost 180 with transparent pricing for required treatments. Our poison helpline connects to Veterinary Poisons Information Service for specialist toxicology advice. Non-emergency queries should contact us during regular hours.
