Services
Pet vaccinations
We provide comprehensive pet vaccinations to protect against preventable diseases. Our veterinary team tailors immunisation plans to each pet's age, lifestyle, and travel requirements. Core vaccines for dogs, cats, and rabbits are included in our Pet Health Club plans, with expert guidance on booster schedules and international travel requirements.
Emergency care
24/7 emergency veterinary services available through our partnership with Vets Now. Our Thornbury Hospital provides overnight, weekend, and bank holiday care with full access to patient medical records. Emergency consultations cover trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other urgent conditions requiring immediate attention.
Laparoscopic surgery
Minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures including spaying and cryptorchid castration. This technique reduces pain, shortens recovery time, and lowers complication risks compared to traditional open surgery. Our veterinary surgeons use advanced endoscopic equipment for precise abdominal operations with smaller incisions.
Ophthalmology
Specialist treatment for animal eye conditions including cataracts, corneal ulcers, and glaucoma. Our ophthalmology team performs diagnostic workups for blindness and offers surgical interventions like entropion correction and conjunctival grafts. We utilise advanced equipment for accurate diagnosis and treatment of complex ocular diseases.
Cat-friendly clinic
Gold-accredited Cat Friendly Clinic with facilities designed to reduce feline stress. We provide separate waiting areas, pheromone diffusers, and quiet consulting rooms. Our staff trained in gentle handling techniques ensure comfortable visits for cats, with dedicated hospitalisation wards featuring igloos and perch boxes for patient privacy.
