Pet Health for Life Plan
Our Pet Health for Life Plan provides comprehensive preventative healthcare for dogs and cats. This subscription service spreads annual costs into monthly payments, covering vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, consultations, and microchipping. Designed to ensure consistent care while offering financial flexibility, it includes additional benefits like discounted neutering and routine check-ups.
Emergency Veterinary Care
We offer 24/7 emergency veterinary services for pets, equine, and farm animals. Our dedicated out-of-hours team responds to critical situations including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Emergency appointments are prioritised with immediate access to diagnostic facilities and surgical interventions when required.
Equine Healthcare Services
Our equine division provides comprehensive care including pre-purchase exams, vaccinations, lameness investigations, and advanced diagnostics. With mobile services covering a 30-mile radius, we offer routine and emergency care supported by specialist equipment for ultrasound and surgical procedures.
