Laser Treatment

Laser therapy is non-painful and involves directing infra-red radiation into inflamed or damaged tissues to accelerate the body’s natural healing process. It is often used for musculoskeletal issues such as arthritis, but the benefits of laser have been suggested for a range of conditions.

Health Plans

Whether you have a dog or cat, our health plans are the most cost-effective way to keep your pet protected. They’re designed to help you save and spread the cost of routine healthcare with simple monthly direct debits.

Health Plan

Ultrasonography

We are pleased to be able to offer ultrasound scanning in practice, as our Veterinary Surgeon, Tanith, has an Ultrasonography certificate. It’s a painless way to look inside your pet’s body to find out what’s going on.

Ultrasound

Cardiology

If your pet develops a heart condition, we can support you and your pet at every step of the way, starting from diagnosis to ongoing care.

Cardiology

Orthopaedic Surgery

We have an external orthopaedic surgeon who has undertaken advanced training to allow them to perform cruciate surgery, patella surgery and fracture repairs in our practice. If your pet develops an abnormality involving their skeleton or joints, such as a patella (kneecap) that gets stuck, or a torn cruciate ligament, an orthopaedic procedure may help them.
