Facilities

The Veterinary Centre boasts a spacious reception, waiting area and five modern consultation rooms affording complete privacy. There is an enlarged treatment area, off which there are two state of the art operating theatres, with a separate surgical scrub suite.

Reception Area
The reception and large waiting room provide a comfortable seated area for patients and clients alike. We try to ensure that any waiting time is kept as short as possible and that the display boards are regularly updated with useful and interesting information for pet owners. We have also added a small toy area for children visiting the practice, clients are asked to watch their children when playing with toys. All dogs should be kept on the lead and other pets in a secure carrier.

Consultation Rooms
Each of our five consultations rooms is fully equipped to enable the vets to thoroughly examine patients, and each room is served by a computerised record system, detailing all of our patients' medical histories.

Operating Theatres
Our two purpose built theatres enable two operations to be performed simultaneously. Only 'clean' operations are conducted in these rooms; 'dirty' operations such as dentals are performed in the prep. room which we call the Hub to keep the theatres as aseptic as possible. The room is deliberately kept as empty as possible to reduce dust, and the walls are damp dusted prior to surgery being performed. New anaesthetic units enable medical oxygen to be piped around the whole practice, and high-tech surgery tables ensure optimal positioning and comfort for all of our patients.

The Prep. Room (Hub) is a large multi-functional room at the centre of the practice. As well as providing ample space for examining animals it is also where our patients are anaesthetised and prepared for theatre. Dirty operations, such as dentals are also performed in the prep. room to minimise the contamination of the sterile theatre.

Xray
The X-Ray suite enables us to take radiographs of the smallest mouse, up to the largest, heaviest Rottweiler.

Kenneling
The kennelling area has been expanded and designed to maximise the comfort of our patients giving a more comfortable environment (Home from Home) & now includes a separation facility designed to prevent the spread of diseases. The cages are the state of the art in kennel design, made of stainless steel for ease of maintaining a high standard of hygiene.

In-house Laboratory
We have an in-house laboratory which allows us to analyse blood samples within thirty minutes, assisting with the diagnosis of literally hundreds of medical conditions. Having a microscope allows us to examine a wide variety of samples such as urine, skin scrapes and blood smears, at up to 100 times magnification.

Dispensary
Our well stocked dispensary should ensure that whatever treatment our vets prescribe for your pet, the medication is available immediately. In addition to the prescription medicines, we also stock a wide variety of prophylactic medications for the prevention of fleas and worms. The daily deliveries from our suppliers mean that most medication, products or food can be obtained within 48 hours.
