We have recently undergone some major refurbishments which were completed in October 2007.

Our new dedicated in house laboratory is now situated above the surgery and houses a comprehensive range of equipment, including machines allowing us to run blood tests for haematology and biochemistry and a microscope for the examination of varioius samples such as urine samples.

Behind the scenes we have an extensive range of facilities for the hospitalisation and treatment of our patients. We have three separate wards: Cat ward, Dog ward and an isolation ward for the hospitalisation of animals with infectious diseases.

There are two operating theatres where sterile surgical procedures are carried out, an imaging room where radiographs (x-rays) are carried out and ultrasound scans undertaken, a dental area in which all dental procedures are carried out and a large preparation area in which patients are anaesthetised and prepared for surgery.
