With modern facilities and our trained, caring vets and nurses we provide a wide
range of treatments for the unhealthy pet. |
Investigations
X-rays,
ultrasound and endoscopes ("cameras") enable rapid assessment of internal body
structures. Using electronic ECG apparatus the activity of the heart can be checked
for cardiac disease. Access to an extensive range of laboratory tests is available,
much of it performed rapidly in our own laboratory.

Surgical operations
General soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery can be performed under an extensive range
of systems, tailored to the individual patient needs and with modern electronic
monitoring. For the more specialist procedures we have a number of expert referral
specialists available to us. |

Dental treatments
One of the most important, yet the most
overlooked aspects of pet care, it is often not realised just how much discomfort is
endured by apparently healthy pets from loose teeth and infected gums. Regular checks
and treatment when necessary will help to keep the mouth healthy and comfortable.
Some pets need frequent removal of plaque and scale from the teeth. This is done in
the hospital with modern ultrasonic equipment and is followed by polishing to help
reduce further build-up of plaque.

House calls
Most treatments are performed at the surgery.
There we have all the medicines, equipment and support staff to give the most
efficient service. Sometimes, however, circumstances may make it difficult to bring
the animal to us. On these occasions we may be able to visit your pet at home. Please
contact the receptionist if you wish to enquire about this.

emergency clinic's number.

Behaviour Problems
Very few pets are perfect! Most animals
exhibit some irritating features of behaviour. Many of these problems are minor and
easy for an owner to deal with (or ignore!). But minor irritations frequently lead to
serious or worrying behaviour traits. Problems such as biting, chewing objects,
barking, soiling in the wrong places and fear of strangers are common. We can help to
improve your dog's behaviour, so that both you and your pet will be happier living
together. If you believe your pet has a behaviour problem give us a ring.

Euthanasia and
cremation
Despite all the care we lavish on
our pets, eventually their lives must draw to a close. When necessary, and with your
consent, we will prevent the suffering of incurable disease and infirmity with a
peaceful permanent sleep induced in the surgery. Such a visit can be upsetting for
both the sick pet and the owner, so our caring staff will tactfully assist both of
you through this period of sadness. Afterwards, we can arrange for cremation to save
further distress. We can also arrange return of ashes for scattering or burial if you
require.
