Our Service

Our personalised service ensures we work closely with our clients in discussing all available options so you can then, with our guidance, choose the right path for your pet.
We perform surgical procedures on a daily basis, with our inhouse laboratory we are able to provide same day results on blood and urine testing, this is particularly useful for pre-anaesthetic and sick pet profiles. In cases when specialised testing/biopsy testing is required we use a courier service to an external specialised lab.
