Facilities include an in-house laboratory for rapid diagnosis, a digital x-ray machine, a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine and an operating theatre equipped to hospital standard.
The practice team comprises experienced veterinary surgeons with a minimum of two years post-qualification experience and a high proportion of qualified, experienced nurses who have completed a two-year college course.
