Hospital Facilities
 
We seek to meet our clients’ demand for a well-informed, well-equipped, compassionate and convenient surgical and medical centre to provide health care for all animal species provided by excellently qualified staff working in modern premises.
 
At the hospital we have a separate dog, cat and exotic wards which are under floor heated and air conditioned day and night, and designed for comfort and warmth. All pets receive personal nursing care from our dedicated ward nursing team, who will make every effort to make your pets stay as comfortable as possible. All wards have CCTV with vision and sound and are visible from multiple points in the building.
 
Pets are regularly exercised in the safe, enclosed pounds at the rear of the premises and are cuddled and given the attention and affection needed to aid in their recovery. Owner and patient care is undeniably our first concern, as we recognise that your pet is a very important member of the family. We seek to meet our clients’ demand for a well-informed, well-equipped, compassionate and convenient surgical and medical centre to provide healthcare for all animal species provided by excellently qualified staff working in modern premises.
