Vaccinations
Our vaccination programs protect pets against preventable diseases while providing annual health assessments. We administer C5 vaccinations for dogs and F3 vaccinations for cats, with tailored schedules for puppies and kittens. Our veterinarians discuss triennial vaccination options and special requirements for high-risk animals, ensuring optimal protection while maintaining cost-effectiveness through combined health checks.
Desexing
We perform comprehensive desexing procedures for both male and female pets, including castration and ovariohysterectomy. Our surgical team provides pre-operative consultations, post-operative care instructions, and pain management strategies. The clinic educates owners about health benefits including cancer prevention and behavioural improvements, with special considerations for cryptorchid animals and mature pets.
Dentistry
Our dental services address periodontal disease prevention and treatment through professional cleaning under anaesthesia. The clinic offers complete oral assessments, tooth extractions, and polishing procedures. We educate owners about home care routines including brushing techniques and dietary recommendations, while utilising advanced equipment for digital dental radiography and early disease detection.
Puppy Preschool
Structured five-week programs develop socialisation skills and basic obedience in young puppies. Led by certified trainers, sessions include behavioural education for owners and supervised puppy interactions. The curriculum follows Dr Seksel's veterinary-endorsed protocol, with weekly handouts and practical demonstrations on handling common developmental challenges in growing dogs.
Surgical Services
Our surgical department handles routine and complex procedures with modern anaesthetic monitoring equipment. Services include soft tissue surgery, orthopaedic interventions, and emergency trauma care. The clinic provides pre-operative assessments, pain management protocols, and post-operative follow-up consultations to ensure optimal recovery outcomes for all surgical patients.
