SERVICES

Whether your pet’s health needs careful, regular monitoring or you just want to make sure your animal friend is as healthy as it looks, we are happy to help with a thorough check-up. Your vet will evaluate your animal’s condition carefully, advising you if any lifestyle changes or treatments are needed.

You can teach children to recite their home address, but you can’t teach that to cats, dogs, or rabbits. With a microchip in place, your pet will be able to “tell” vets and animal welfare workers the way home. It’s a small procedure, and it makes returning your lost pet to you so easy! No matter how far they may roam, it’ll be possible to find the way home when you take this little precaution. Find out about microchipping today. Give us a call!

What keeps us healthy? The right diet and exercise work for us! They also work for your pet. But which foods should you give them as part of their healthy lifestyle? That depends on the pet, its age, and even its habits. Don’t let your pet fall victim to the obesity epidemic, but be sure that all the essential nutrients form part of its diet. We’re here to give you the advice you need to optimize your animal companions’ diet.

Cats are very independent, but they get upset when their families are away. Even when they have enough food, they may simply disappear. When your pet lodges with us, she’ll receive love, care, good food and hygienic conditions that even the most fastidious cat will approve of. Be sure she gets the best care and that she’ll be waiting for you on your return.

Your dog or cat can’t tell you when he or she has a toothache, but a vet can see the tell-tale signs of tooth decay. Regular dental check-ups are important to your pets’ health and wellbeing. They can even prevent more serious infections from developing. For example, gingivitis (gum infections) can cause coughs and throat infections. We’ll help you to keep your pet’s pearly-whites strong, healthy and pain-free.

Pet owners probably worry even more about routine surgeries like spaying and neutering than their pets do! When you choose our surgery, you may be assured that we will do everything in our power to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free, and we’ll return them to you with full advice on how to handle their recovery period. Remember, these routine surgeries will do much to preserve your pets’ health.

Not all veterinary surgeries have radiology equipment, but we do. Although it is costly, we are satisfied that it will help us to provide our patients with even better care by speeding up the time we need to make a sure diagnosis. Very soon, we’ll even be able to detect dental problems using X-rays. Meanwhile, we’ll keep on doing our very best for your pet no matter what its needs may be.

When your pet is ill, you don’t want to wait for ages to get pathology test results. And because we want to provide appropriate treatments as soon as possible, it’s important to us too. We have priority status with our pathology labs, and they will provide test results as soon as is humanly possible allowing us to make sure diagnoses and ensuring that your pet gets the correct treatments.
