OUR VETERINARY SERVICES
General Vet Care
Our general veterinary care offers a wide range of services to keep your pet healthy. We provide comprehensive health assessments, vaccinations, and preventative treatments such as parasite control for heartworm, fleas, and worms. Our team also specialises in dental care, arthritis management, and weight control programs. For more specific needs, we offer diagnostic tests, including blood tests, ultrasounds, and x-rays. With our fully equipped facilities and expert guidance on nutrition and behaviour, your pet will receive thorough, compassionate care to help them lead a long and healthy life.
Pet Vaccinations
Our vaccination service provides vital protection against preventable diseases for your pets. We offer vaccines for dogs, cats, and rabbits, protecting them from viral and bacterial infections. From a young age, our skilled team ensures your pet receives the proper immunisations and boosters, helping them remain healthy, happy, and fully protected.
Pet Desexing
Our desexing service is a safe and efficient way to prevent unwanted litters while enhancing your pet's long-term health. We perform desexing procedures carefully, reducing the likelihood of certain diseases and behavioural problems in both male and female pets. Our experienced team ensures your pet's comfort and wellbeing during this routine procedure.
Kitten Adoption
Our kitten adoption service matches caring homes with kittens in need of a fresh start. We work with vet clinics, welfare groups, and pounds to re-home kittens. Before adoption, every kitten is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms, ensuring they are ready for a seamless transition to their new family. We promote responsible pet ownership while offering these kittens a second chance at life.
Cattery
Our cattery service ensures a comfortable, secure, and loving environment for your cat while you’re away. With over 25 years of experience, we provide personalised care to suit each cat's unique needs, from playtime to dietary preferences. Our caring staff monitor all cats and offer special attention to those with medical requirements. Located beside our veterinary clinic, our cat boarding service prioritises your cat's health and happiness throughout their stay.
