Avonvale Veterinary Centre

read moreAvonvale vets have been caring for animals in Warwickshire for over 40 years. We have surgeries in Warwick, Southam, Kenilworth, Wellesbourne, Stratford, Cubbington, and Heathcote. Each surgery is under the care of a senior veterinary surgeon, assisted by a team of qualified and experienced vets and nurses, dedicated to looking after your family pets at a location that is convenient for you. We understand the special relationship that people have with their animals, and are committed to providing the quality of care and individual attention that you would expect for a member of your family.

This involves two small incisions made in the skin, through which the instruments and camera are inserted. The ovaries are removed leaving the uterus in place. As with conventional spays, we recommend that this procedure is performed either when your dog is 6 months of age or 2-3 months following a season.

At our weight management clinics, our nurses will weigh and measure your pet, explain a programme of balanced nutrition and offer sensible tips and advice to help your pet. We offer a comprehensive and effective weight loss programme for those pets whose weight has become a danger to their health. It can also lead to further complications such as heart disease.

Our hydrotherapy unit is part of our all-round package of care for rehabilitation, physiotherapy and well-being. The warm water used in our Hydro-Physio aquatic treadmill relaxes recuperating muscles and promotes blood circulation while encouraging exercise in a supported and controlled environment.
