In-House Pathology Laboratory
We are able to carry out on-site cytology, blood testing, skin scrapes, urine analysis and fecal analysis for the fastest possible results. If your animal’s condition requires more complicated testing, we send samples off to an external laboratory.
Radiology
Our on-site x-ray facilities allow us to provide prompt diagnosis when required.
Surgery
We operate on many routine conditions and also carry out more technical orthopaedic surgery, including patellar luxations and cruciate surgery.
Before your pet has surgery, we carry out a full pre-anaesthetic assessment. If your pet is more than 5 years old, pre-anaesthetic blood testing and fluid therapy is compulsory. Blood testing is highly recommended for all other pets undergoing surgery.
Your pet’s condition is monitored with sophisticated monitoring equipment including breathing monitors, heart rate monitor and blood-oxygen monitor (pulse oximeter).
A dedicated surgical nurse is assigned to every case.
Dentistry
All pets are entitled to a free dental examination by our experienced veterinary nurses. Complicated cases may be referred to our veterinarians for further examination.
We are equipped to provide a wide variety of dental services, from routine scaling and polishing to the treatment of periodontal disease and complicated tooth extractions.
If your pet requires more extensive restoration services, such as crown reductions and root canals, we can book a veterinary specialist to carry out these procedures at our surgery.

We have a fully stocked pharmacy of prescription medications and foods at the surgery.
