Dogs and puppies require vaccinations to avoid serious illnesses like parvovirus, distemper, canine infectious hepatitis, parainfluenza and leptospirosis.

Your puppies will require an injection at the age of around eight weeks, then another at 10 weeks. They’ll then require booster vaccinations approximately once a year.

Cats and kittens need vaccinations to protect them from a large variety of diseases. Whether they’re indoor or outdoor cats, they’ll still require immunisation from a number of serious illnesses.

Effective oral health is vital no matter what kind of pet you have. Just like in humans, tartar build-up is a constant blight for dogs and cats, leading to a lower quality of life.

All pets having a dental examination with us will receive a FREE sample of toothpaste, gum wipes or Plaqaid. We do not recommend feeding bones to clean the teeth as this can often lead to fractured teeth, and bones have the potential to cause intestinal obstructions.

For more information, please get in touch for oral health tips.

Neutering your pet isn’t just about ensuring they don’t conceive. It can also save dogs and cats from a variety of cancers and health complications.

Here are the recommended ages when your pet should be neutered:
Cats – from five months old
Male dogs – from six months old
Female dogs – from five months old
Rabbits – from 12 weeks of age

We can neuter your pet in a calming environment, providing all the comfort it needs to recuperate effectively. Get in touch for more details.

Obesity is the natural cause of over-eating and lack of exercise, and can lead to a number of health complications for your pet. We can weigh your pet, provide you with dieting tips for them, and do our best to help them regain their ideal weight.

To ensure you don’t lose your pet, microchipping is a must. This is essentially a small tracking device which will keep tabs on your animal in the event that it strays. Microchipping your dog at by eight weeks of age is now the law, and is a must for the protection of your furry friend.

Fleas and ticks are easily contracted by pets, and can be picked up even from the simple act of taking a walk in the park. However, we can provide the ideal treatments, using shampoos, collars and powders to combat and control these problematic pests.

Worms can thrive in the bodies of their hosts (predominantly dogs and cats) and lead to serious health complications if left untreated. We can provide comprehensive treatment for any kind of worms (there are variants, although all can seriously damage your pet’s health), so ask us for more details.
