Walking beside you on the
pet ownership journey
Pet ownership is an incredibly rewarding journey. But along with the joy comes inevitable headaches and heartaches. From their first days in the world to a peaceful ending, we’re here for you every moment.
We view pet health as an interconnected web between us, you, and your pets. One where we respect the human-animal bond, where our care and empathy extends beyond our patient to you as an owner.
A relationship where we share the responsibility to work together respectfully, working hard to get the best outcome for you and your pet.

Helpful resources to keep your dog or cat happy and healthy.
It’s essential to know the difference between situations that need immediate veterinary care, and those where you can wait at home.
As a new kitten owner, one of the most important steps in giving them a healthy start to life is the right vaccinations.
You’ve brought home your new best friend – congratulations! Now it’s time to make sure your new puppy receives the right vaccinations.
✨NOT ALL WOUNDS ARE THE SAME ✨
While many wounds heal quickly, some become chronic wounds that need extra veterinary care.
A wound may struggle to heal because of:
🐾 Infection
🐾 Licking or chewing
🐾 Constant movement over joints
🐾 Poor blood supply
🐾 Dead tissue or debris in the wound
🐾 Underlying health conditions
When this happens, simply waiting or applying home remedies might not enough. Your veterinarian may need to clean the wound surgically to remove unhealthy tissue and treat infection or potentially perform regular wound care and bandage changes.
Sometimes the skin is so damaged that wounds cannot be closed and so we treat them differently, with healing happening via secondary intention. This can be a lengthy process. It is essential during wound management to follow your vets instructions so that we can ensure the best outcome.
🚩GRAPHIC WARNING🚩 In the comments below we will post some progress pictures of a recent case we have managed dealing with a severe open wound. Through the combined efforts of his dedicated owners and our team, his wounds have healed and he is back to his happy self. ... See MoreSee Less

Bentley visited last week for her desexing procedure and no, we are not sure whether she did know what she was doing at the vets. But, we do know she was a very good girl and got all of the cuddles (maybe she did know what she was doing after all).
All went smoothly and she went home to rest in her beautiful orange recovery suit. 🧡💚 ... See MoreSee Less

Vet nurse Brianna!
Bri has been a member of the team for a while now but we have not formally introduced her. Starting her career in the reception side of things, she decided she’d like to get a taste of the action behind the scenes became a fully qualified vet nurse. Bri’s favourite thing to do at work is surgical nursing and her warm and calm demeanour means that patients will always get the best care and cuddles.
In her spare time, Bri considers herself a bit of a nanna, enjoying activities like crafts and building her library collection. She has many pets at home including her beautiful Bernese mountain dog called Rupert. 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
