We understand some dogs hate coming inside the vets. If your dog is happier waiting outside or in the car then we are happy for them to do so, just let us know you have arrived. 

We know that you know your pet the best, so if there is something specific we can do to help keep the experience as stress free as possible then please just let us know.

If your dog gets wound up in the waiting area, then we will always try and put you in a free consulting room to help keep the stress levels lower.

We offer home visits but recommend that you book at least 24hours in advance.

In an emergency we will always try to accommodate your request, but it is often better for your pet if you bring them to us, as we simply cannot bring everything we may need to them and treatment is a lot easier within the hospital.

Getting good images is vital in the diagnosis of many medical conditions. That’s why we have top of the range equipment.

• Digital x-ray. Top class images in minutes. Enabling our vets to get answers quickly.
• Ultrasound. Superb quality, superior skill. Whether your pet needs an abdominal scan or a heart scan then we have it covered.

Dogs and cats

Dental disease is common in our pets, with over 70% being affected by just 2 years of age. That’s why we have all the equipment to be able to deal with it. Whether your pet needs a descale and polish to prevent any progression of periodontal disease or they need to have some teeth removed we have the skills to do so.  All our Dental packages include full mouth dental radiographs so that we can accurately assess and treat as required.

Advanced dentistry

Carly has a special interest in dentistry, meaning that we can carry out some advanced procedures that elsewhere would require referral. Advanced procedures that we can carry out include:

• Treatment of lingually displaced canines
• Maxillofacial surgery
• Treatment of jaw fractures
• Vital pulp therapy
• Total mouth extractions for advanced periodontal disease 
• Dental composite bonding

Rabbits and other small furries

• As their teeth constantly erupt it is vital they grind them down to stop them developing painful overgrown teeth. Sometimes for various reasons this doesn’t happen. We have a full dental kit to allow proper examination of all cheek teeth and incisors and therefore treatment of any overgrowths.

We have a variety of laboratory machines enabling us to run many tests in the clinic, giving us same day results. Blood tests, urine tests, microscopic examination of samples are all undertaken within the practice.

Our Vet Jenny has completed her certificate of advanced veterinary practice with a interest in surgery, so she has made sure that our theatre is top notch.
