The health and well-being of our people and clients is paramount. Veterinary services are considered essential services by governments around the world due to the importance of the work veterinarians do in ensuring bio security, surgical, medical and emergency services for ill and injured animals.
Changed Services
In order to help flatten the curve and to conserve stocks of protective and sterilising supplies (for our patients and also human patients) we have changed the way we are providing services to your pet.
Please be assured that your pet’s health and well-being will be catered for, it just may be in a different way to usual during these challenging times. This includes in clinic consultations with your pet and via telephone or videocall with you. Telemedicine services may also be an option for your pet.
Call us for initial advice for you and your furry friend and we will guide you from there.
To help us remain fully operational we have introduced new processes.
Our waiting area is now closed, so please follow these steps on your arrival:
