Services
Pet Dentistry
Our veterinary dentistry services include comprehensive oral examinations, scale and polish procedures under anaesthesia, dental radiography, and extractions when necessary. We use advanced imaging to detect hidden dental issues below the gum line. Our team provides preventative care education and post-treatment dental kits to maintain oral health, addressing conditions like periodontal disease and tooth resorption in dogs and cats.
Emergency Care
We offer 24/7 emergency veterinary services for urgent medical situations including trauma, poisoning, and acute illness. Our equipped facilities handle critical cases with immediate diagnostic testing and stabilisation. The experienced emergency team manages conditions like bloat, tick paralysis, and heatstroke, providing continuous monitoring and specialist referrals when required for optimal patient outcomes.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Specialised laparoscopic procedures for desexing and gastropexy surgeries use small incisions and camera-guided techniques to reduce recovery times. This advanced approach minimises post-operative pain and complications compared to traditional open surgery. Our veterinarians perform these procedures with precision, particularly beneficial for preventing gastric dilatation in large dog breeds.
Radiation Therapy
We provide targeted radiation therapy for cats with hyperthyroidism, a non-surgical option that delivers precise radioactive iodine treatment. This service requires specialised facilities to manage radioactive materials safely. The treatment effectively addresses thyroid tumours while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissue, offering a curative solution for this common feline condition.
Puppy Pre-School
Structured puppy socialisation programs for 6-16 week olds focus on behavioural development and positive training techniques. Classes address basic obedience, social skills with other dogs, and owner education about developmental milestones. Early intervention helps prevent future behavioural problems while promoting confidence in young dogs through controlled, supervised interactions.
