GROOMING

We routinely demat and bath cats (and we all have the scars to prove it!) These procedures usually require a full anaesthetic (sometimes the animal has to be given one too) and can therefore only be carried out at a veterinary surgery.

Our weight control clinic has been running well for many years, and many of our friends out there are shadows of their former selves! Our thanks go to HILL's Pet Nutrition who provide us with weight charts, and, most importantly, a prize for Weight Watcher of the Year.

RABBIT & RODENT RUMBLES

We see a lot of rabbits and other small furries e.g. Guinea pigs, rats, hamsters..... in the past these little animals have not featured so heavily, but things have progressed, especially in the case of rabbits. We see large numbers of rabbits and treat them both medically and surgically as part of our routine case load. They have some very specific requirements, which we are happy to be able to accommodate. We have available in the Shop a good variety of small animal nibbles and treats.

  PUPPY SOCIALISATION GROUPS

The classes are run every Thursday evening and are great fun for all involved, allowing the pups to socialise and learn in a safe setting.
Clients are advised that there is a long waiting list for these classes and booking early will avoid disappointment.

If no places are available, we are happy to offer weekly Nurse appointments to help keep track of weight, behaviour, training etc. for your puppies. This will also help them to feel more at ease when visiting the vet in future.

CAT CHAT

Clients can now book free Nurse appointments for chats about their kittens, which involve taking a look at growth charts, advice and treatment about fleas and worming, advice about insurance and grooming, and help with any other concerns or problems you may have. One advantage of having your cat visit these clinics is that he or she will be less anxious about a visit to the vet later in life.

ADOLESCENT CLINICS

We run these for both cats and dogs and they are very popular. Amongst other things, they give our nurses the opportunity to pick up on any training or behavioural problems. The clinics also provide you with all the help and advice you need to help your pup or kitten grow into a healthy adult.
