Services
Veterinary Consultations
Our 20-minute consultations include comprehensive health assessments, symptom discussions, and preventative care advice. Vets examine heart rate, breathing, dental health, and mobility while addressing owner concerns. Services include vaccinations, wound care, and medication prescriptions with free nail clipping included.
Pet Dentals
We provide complete dental services including scale and polish, tooth extractions, and abscess treatment. Our clinic uses advanced equipment to maintain oral health, preventing systemic diseases. Annual dental checks are recommended to identify issues like gum disease and tooth decay early.
Vaccinations
We offer core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits including F3/F5, C3, and calicivirus protection. Each vaccination includes a complimentary health check. Our team advises on lifestyle-appropriate immunisation schedules to protect against life-threatening diseases like parvovirus and feline leukaemia.
Desexing
Our desexing services include laparoscopic spaying and castration procedures. We provide pre-surgical blood tests, pain management, and post-operative care. The procedure prevents unwanted litters while reducing health risks like mammary tumours and prostate disease in pets.
Puppy School
Our four-week puppy school program teaches basic obedience, socialisation, and household manners. Led by professional trainers, sessions cover lead walking, bite inhibition, and toilet training in a clinic environment to create positive veterinary associations for young dogs.
