Health Examinations
Regular veterinary check-ups detect early health issues in pets. Our comprehensive physical examinations include dental assessments, weight monitoring, and organ function evaluations. Annual visits are recommended for adult pets, with bi-annual check-ups for senior animals to ensure early intervention when needed.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification through ISO-standard microchips. The quick, painless procedure involves implanting a rice-sized chip under the skin for lifelong security. Registered with Central Animal Records, this service ensures pet recovery if lost, with lifetime owner detail updates available.
Puppy School
Five-week puppy training program for dogs under five months. Conducted by certified veterinary nurses, sessions cover basic commands, socialisation, and behaviour correction. Includes vaccination guidance and nutrition advice to support healthy development during critical early life stages.
Digital Radiography
Advanced imaging for diagnosing fractures, organ issues, and foreign objects. Our digital system provides instant, high-resolution images with reduced radiation exposure. Sedation may be required for optimal positioning during this non-invasive diagnostic procedure.
Vaccinations
Protective vaccinations against life-threatening diseases for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Protocols follow age-specific schedules with booster programs for sustained immunity. Includes FIV vaccination for cats and calicivirus protection for rabbits, with tailored advice on disease prevention.
