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. Dr Paul Kluck has completed a number of current courses on veterinary orthopaedic surgery to ensure we can
offer high quality in-house surgical options.
Of course we can offer you high quality referral options for more specialised surgery if necessary - eg advanced orthopaedics, 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 equipment to assess for the presence of glaucoma, a digital blood pressure and ECG for cardiac disease assessment, in-house microscopy and X-ray facilities.
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
Dr Paul Kluck has undertaken coursework in veterinary
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. Much like its use in humans, it can be used for problems as diverse as behavioural problems, incontinence and dry eyes.
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. (Note
that dogs are towel-dried. Have a blanket in the back of the car)
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.
Some of the companies available are (in no particular order):

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. The options are anything from a standard cremation (where you don’t get ashes back) to an
individual cremation with ashes returned to you in a cask or urn, or even burial of the ashes at Lawnswood pet cemetary.
