Tailored treatments for your pets

Rises in specialist referral centre fees have left some treatments beyond the means of many clients, especially those that are uninsured, or have insufficient policy limits.

We see ourselves filling the gap between first opinion practice and specialist centres, being able to offer realistic, affordable treatment options for the majority of surgical cases, and without the need to travel out of the local area.

We can tailor treatment options to suit the patient and the owner. We are realistic, we realise some procedures and work-ups do need specialist attention; if we feel that this is the case we will say so.
