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 is designed to protect your pets from preventable illnesses. We provide vaccines for dogs, cats, and rabbits to guard against viral and bacterial infections. Starting when they are young, our knowledgeable team ensures your pet receives the correct immunisations and boosters, keeping them healthy and protected throughout their lives.
Pet Desexing
Our desexing service provides a safe and reliable method to prevent unwanted litters while supporting the long-term health of your pets. We perform desexing procedures with great care, reducing the risk of certain diseases and behavioural problems in both male and female pets. Our experienced veterinary team ensures your pet's comfort and wellbeing throughout this routine surgery.
Kitten Adoption
Our kitten adoption service connects kind families with kittens in need of a new home. We partner with veterinary practices, welfare agencies, and pounds to re-home kittens. Each kitten is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and treated for fleas and worms prior to adoption, ensuring they’re ready for their new family. We support responsible pet ownership and provide these kittens with a second chance.
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.
