Pet dental care with a difference
80% of cats and dogs develop some form of dental disease by the age of just three. In the past the significance of may not have been realised and pets can live with dental pain without it being noticed.
Early prevention by good dental hygiene, such as brushing teeth, can help to avoid disease but tartar accumulation inevitably leads to issues in later life so regular checks and descaling, polishing and full assessment under anaesthesia helps us to keep your pet’s mouths happy and pain free.
Painful conditions such as feline resorptive lesions and broken roots may not be obvious but dental X-rays reveal hidden disease allowing the best treatment for your pets.
We are experienced at both standard and surgical extraction techniques including nerve blocks and have invested in the newest instruments to get your pet comfortable as soon as possible.
Advanced treatments, such as orthodontics, can be provided by visiting clinicians or referral to specialist hospitals.

In-house laboratory
Our in-house laboratory allows us to rapidly process blood samples, assessing organ function and blood cells within minutes.
Microscope examinations are used for urine, skin and ear examinations and we can perform cultures to check for bacterial infections and select the most appropriate antibiotics.
Some sample do need to be sent to outside laboratories and we have courier collections overnight so that samples can arrive at the laboratory the next morning.
Pet Health Plan members receive annual urine screening
Ultrasound, X-ray and endoscopy
We use a variety of methods to investigate your pet’s health.
Ultrasound and digital X-rays allow us to look inside your pet’s body to assess organ size and structure, heart function, examine bones and monitor the response to treatment.
Endoscopy allows us to look inside the intestinal tract without the need for exploratory surgery to identify problem areas, take samples or remove foreign bodies.
