Our aim is to provide a friendly, affordable and professional service for you and your animals in a caring and supportive environment.

Our seven vets are involved in treating all species, however all have areas of special interest and expertise. Partners Nick Gray and Mark Stott are committed to continuous improvement in practice facilities and expertise and all staff attend regular courses and congresses on all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery.

Services at the clinic
Unlike your local doctor’s surgery we have an array of on-site diagnostic and treatment tools at our disposal, making us a one-stop shop for your pet’s medical care. Services include

  • Full ultra-vision x-ray facilities
  • Ultrasound scanning for pregnancy and disease diagnosis
  • ECG analysis for assessment of cardiac function
  • Endoscopy for examination of stomach and intestines
  • Blood pressure monitoring for dogs and cats with kidney or thyroid disease
  • High quality microscopy of diagnostic samples
  • In-house blood testing for diagnosis and pre-anaesthetic checks

As you would expect we are always on hand to give expert medical and surgical treatment for your sick pets, however one of the most common experiences our clients have of the surgery is when they bring their pets in for an annual vaccination.

We believe that a carefully considered vaccination program to give maximum protection with minimal side effects is essential. We add value to annual vaccinations by giving your pet a complementary health check – extremely valuable in detecting and treating health concerns early before becoming more complicated and costly to treat.

Our nurses also run clinics, e.g. dental health, and behavioural classes and consultations for your puppies or adult pets. Many clients pop in for flea and worming treatments when shopping in town or call by with their dogs for a free weight check or just a chat and a dog treat!
