Services
Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to prevent life-threatening diseases. Our tailored programmes consider each pet's lifestyle and age, including travel requirements. All appointments include a full health check and automated booster reminders. Vaccines protect against conditions like parvovirus, feline leukaemia, and myxomatosis, with specialist advice on non-core vaccines. Pet Health Club members receive discounted rates.
Wellness screening
Our comprehensive wellness screens detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other age-related conditions in mature pets. The 30-minute assessment includes blood/urine tests, dental checks, and mobility evaluations. Recommended annually for cats over seven and dogs over five, these screenings enable proactive treatment. Results are reviewed within ten days, with follow-up plans for abnormal findings. Costs 85, reduced for Pet Health Club members.
Emergency care
Critical care available 24/7 through our partnership with Vets Now. Emergency services cover trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses, with seamless continuity of care through detailed clinical notes. The Manchester clinic provides specialist support for complex cases, ensuring access to advanced diagnostics and overnight monitoring. Clients receive immediate guidance via our main number, which diverts to emergency teams during out-of-hours periods.
Dental care
Complete dental services from routine cleanings to complex extractions. We address periodontal disease through scaling and polishing, with pre-anaesthetic blood testing to ensure patient safety. Educational resources help owners maintain oral hygiene at home. Left untreated, dental infections can affect major organs, making this preventive care essential for overall pet health.
Pet nutrition
Tailored nutrition plans for medical conditions like renal disease, food allergies, and mobility issues. We stock prescription diets from Royal Canin, Hills, and Purina, with expert guidance on transitioning pets to new foods. Specialised formulas manage urinary tract health, gastrointestinal conditions, and weight management. Our team provides ongoing support for pets requiring hydrolysed or low-phosphorus diets.
