Services
Emergency Care
We prioritise emergency cases during business hours with immediate triage assessment. For after-hour emergencies, we partner with Southpaws Malvern's 24/7 emergency hospital. Our clinic maintains modern facilities for urgent diagnostics and stabilisation before specialist referral.
Dentistry
Our advanced dental equipment enables comprehensive oral examinations and treatments. Services include scaling, polishing, extractions, and digital X-rays under anaesthesia. We address periodontal disease prevention and pain management for pets' long-term dental health.
Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs (C5) and cats (F3/FIV) alongside parasite control programs. Each visit includes health checks to detect early issues and tailored advice on nutrition, weight management, and parasite prevention for optimal pet wellness.
Orthopaedic Surgery
Our veterinarians perform advanced orthopaedic procedures using specialist-grade equipment. We handle complex cases like fracture repairs and joint surgeries in-house, minimising the need for external referrals while maintaining high surgical standards and post-operative care.
Pathology
Our IDEXX in-house laboratory enables rapid blood testing and diagnostic analysis. This allows immediate results for quicker diagnosis and treatment decisions, particularly critical during emergency cases or when monitoring chronic conditions in pets.
