Consultations
We believe consultations should be unhurried and help you to understand the
health requirements of your pet. Or if a health problem exists, to give us the oportunity to discuss fully the treatment options, prognosis and likely costs. Feel free to ask us as many questions as you like - we
don’t have a timer running!
General Surgery
We are able to carry all routine surgery required for your pet
in-house and in most cases, on a day-patient basis. That way you can have your “baby” home for the night.
Orthopaedic/Soft Tissue Surgery
An extensive inventory of instruments and equipment at both practices and experience in a wide range of orthopaedic and soft tissue procedures commonly (and less
commonly) encountered in practice enables us to handle most emergency and scheduled surgical procedures.
Of course we will refer you for more specialised treatment if necessary - eg spinal or ophthalmic surgery.
Diagnostics
We have at our disposal a wide range of diagnostic equipment at our disposal to help
achieve a rapid diagnosis of health problems in your pet. This includes simple instruments such as a Schiotz Tonometer to assess for the presence of glaucoma, a Woods lamp to check for the presence of ringworm and a
binocular microscope for the rapid assessment of skin scapings to more complex items such as X ray machines and ECG
We also make use of veterinary pathology laboratories for the rapid assessment of blood and other samples to help achieve
that critical accurate diagnosis.
Acupuncture
We can offer the option of treating certain conditions with
acupuncture. This is especially useful in treating musculoskeletal problems, especially chronic problems such as arthritis. It is less often used as a first line therapy but enables us to offer other treatment
options in refractory or chronic cases.
Hydrobathing
A high pressure spa-bath dogs just love! We use a pleasant cologne shampoo that
is gentle on sensitive skins, while the high pressure jets both massage the skin as well as removing in-grained dirt. And all at just $14.00. (Note that dogs are
towel-dried so will be a little damp when finished. Have a blanket ready in the back of the car if you want to protect your upholstery)
VIP PET Membership
For an annual fee per pet, recieve a 15% discount off our already competitvely priced veterinary fees, pet food and acessories. As an added bonus, recieve one free
consultation per year. So unlike an insurance policy, which only helps you with the cost of medical and surgical problems, the VIP Pet membership also helps with routine costs such as elective surgery, pet food,
heartworm prevention, flea control and accessories.Please contact us for more information.
Insurance
We can provide information on some excellent pet insurance policies that give you the peace of mind that, should the unexpected
happen, you will be able to afford the veterinary care you would like to give your pet. Ask us for a brochure next time you are in one of the surgeries.
Cremation and Burial Services
When the inevitable happens and you say goodbye to your pet, feel confident that we can help you out if you can’t or dont
wish to bury your pet. There are options for an individual cremation with ashes returned to you in a cask or urn, or even burial of the ashes at Lawnswood pet cemetary.
