OUR VETERINARY SERVICES
General Vet Care
Our general veterinary care includes a comprehensive range of services to ensure your pet's health. We provide thorough health assessments, vaccinations, and preventative care like parasite control for heartworm, fleas, and worms. Our team also offers dental care, arthritis management, and weight control programs. For more specialised needs, we provide diagnostic testing, including blood tests, ultrasounds, and x-rays. With fully equipped facilities and expert advice on nutrition and behaviour, we ensure that your pet receives comprehensive, compassionate care to help them live long, healthy lives.
Pet Vaccinations
Our vaccination service helps protect your pets from preventable diseases. We offer vaccines for dogs, cats, and rabbits to safeguard them from viral and bacterial infections. Starting from a young age, our knowledgeable staff ensure your pet receives the appropriate immunisations and boosters as they grow to keep them happy, healthy and protected.
Pet Desexing
Our desexing service offers a safe and effective way to prevent unwanted litters while promoting better long-term health for your pets. We perform desexing procedures with care, helping reduce the risk of certain diseases and behavioural issues in both male and female pets. This routine surgery is conducted by our experienced veterinary team to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of your pet throughout the process.
Kitten Adoption
Our kitten adoption service helps connect loving homes with adorable kittens in need. We work with vet practices, welfare agencies, and pounds to re-home kittens that require a fresh start. Each kitten is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms before being adopted. We ensure they are ready for a smooth transition to their new family, supporting responsible pet ownership while giving kittens a second chance at life.
Cattery
Our cattery service provides a comfortable, safe, and caring environment for your cat while you're away. With over 25 years of experience, we ensure each cat receives personalised attention to meet their individual needs, from playtime to dietary preferences.
