Services

When your pet is feeling too sick to travel, we can come to you. Our home visits are dependent upon the availability of our vets, so please try to phone us as early as possible if you’d like to make an appointment for that day. If you think your pet will be able to make the trip to see us, we can recommend numerous taxi services which are experienced in transporting sick animals.

We will see emergencies at any time, please telephone so we know you are on your way. Out of hours, we can provide you with 24-hour emergency service if your pet has a sudden accident. We do this via Vets Now, a dedicated 24-hour service based in Preston. This means that when you telephone us you may be given details of another practice to contact to receive care.

Our consultations run from:

Mondays to Friday : 9am-11.30am and 2pm-7pm
Saturday : 9am-1pm
Sunday : 2pm-4pm

Our excellently stocked surgery is filled with hi-tech equipment and our staff are well trained and caring allowing us to perform a wide range of surgical procedures. If there are any injuries we can’t deal with – spinal surgery or cataract removal for example – we can refer you to another specialist.

We have dedicated separate wards for cats, dogs and rabbits and other small furries, as well as isolation facilities for pets with infectious diseases.

• Anaesthetic monitoring equipment
• Sevoflurane anaesthesia – the most advanced anaesthetic available. Also used in human hospitals for paediatrics
• Piped oxygen
• Autoclaved kits and gowns
• Fully trained staff dedicated to providing your pet with effective and safe surgical help

Repeat prescriptions are available at our reception. Telephone us to order them or fill in the form below. Please provide us with at least 24 hour notice to ensure that your medicines and prescriptions are ready when you arrive.
