Services
Vaccinations
We provide tailored vaccination programs for dogs and cats, including C5 and F5 vaccines. Our protocols consider each pet's age and health status, with optional antibody testing to determine necessity. Regular vaccinations protect against parvovirus, distemper, feline leukemia, and other serious diseases while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include free dental checks, professional cleanings, and advanced treatments. We address tartar buildup, gum disease, and tooth extractions while emphasizing preventative care. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic infections and extends pets' lifespans through improved oral health.
General Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures including desexing, lump removals, and cruciate repairs. Our surgical suite features modern equipment for safe anesthesia and post-operative care. We prioritize pain management and recovery monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes for all surgical patients.
Dermatology
Our dermatology services address skin allergies, infections, and parasitic conditions. We offer diagnostic testing, allergy management, and specialist referrals. Treatment plans combine medication, dietary adjustments, and environmental modifications to resolve chronic skin issues and improve pets' comfort.
Pet Microchipping
We implant permanent microchips for pet identification, complying with Armadale's mandatory requirements. The procedure occurs during routine consultations using ISO-standard chips registered in national databases. We assist with updating contact information and scanning lost pets to reunite them with owners.
