Up to date Vaccinations!

For the protection of our patients we require that all pets in the hospital are fully vaccinated. If you are unsure of your pet's vaccination status please check with our staff. We only accept unvaccinated pets after a complete health check and may hospitalise them separately in our isolation ward if there is any risk to other patients.

Depending on the type of operation, recovery from surgery may take a little time. All of our surgical patients are given pain relief at the time of the operation and are usually discharged with further analgesics. You can assist your pet at home and aid them in their recovery by making sure they are warm and comfy, they have access to food and water and that they are given their medications as directed.
