Services
Veterinary Dentistry
We provide advanced dental care using dedicated digital dental radiography, the first practice in Herefordshire to adopt this technology. Our services include routine check-ups, extractions, and treatment of dental diseases. The service ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning for maintaining oral health in pets.
Euthanasia Support
Our compassionate team offers sensitive support during pet euthanasia decisions. We provide a calm environment and emotional guidance to help owners through this difficult process. The service focuses on ensuring dignity and comfort for both pets and their owners during end-of-life care.
Home Visits
Veterinary surgeons offer home visits arranged around existing appointments. This service accommodates pets with mobility issues or owners requiring care in familiar surroundings. Visits maintain the same professional standards as in-clinic consultations while providing added convenience.
Laparoscopy
We perform minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures for abdominal diagnostics and treatments. This technique reduces recovery times and surgical risks compared to traditional methods. The service offers advanced internal examination capabilities with minimal patient discomfort.
Animal Health Certificates
Official Veterinarians issue required certificates for pet travel to EU countries and Northern Ireland. The service ensures compliance with post-Brexit regulations since January 2021. We provide documentation for dogs traveling from Great Britain with proper health verification.
