Services
Ultrasounds
Ascot Vet offers advanced ultrasound diagnostics for abdominal examinations, pregnancy diagnosis, and guided biopsies. Our non-invasive imaging technology enables faster diagnosis and treatment planning while minimising patient discomfort. Sedation may be required for optimal image quality, with specialist referrals available for complex cardiac cases.
Health Checks
Our comprehensive annual health assessments evaluate dental health, organ function, musculoskeletal systems, and nutritional needs. Tailored check-up schedules consider each pet's age and medical history to ensure early detection of potential health issues through preventative care strategies.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs for dogs and cats, including parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukaemia protection. Our protocols follow WSAVA guidelines while addressing individual risk factors and legal requirements for responsible pet ownership.
De-Sexing
Our surgical sterilisation services reduce reproductive cancers and manage behavioural issues. Procedures are performed in modern facilities with post-operative care guidance, including tailored advice for large breed dogs requiring delayed desexing for optimal development.
Dentistry
We offer professional dental cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments using specialised equipment. Our preventive dental programs address periodontal disease risks while providing home care education to maintain optimal oral health between professional treatments.
