Day Care for In-Patients
We have separate dog ward and cat wards, equipped with comfortable bedding in low-noise, warm kennels, and with orthopedic bedding for the larger dogs. The cats and small mammals can look onto the adjacent operating theatre and will only see a dog if it is sleeping on the operating table.
One of our nurses dedicates her entire day to caring for the in-patients.
Overnight Stays
If your pet has to stay with us overnight, there are two vets on call who intermittently visit during the night to check on the in-patients.
Neutering
Neutering can be carried out at any time after 6 months old in dogs and rabbits, or as young as 4 months for cats. There is a small risk of urinary incontinence in some female dogs following neutering at any age, and some dogs will gain weight following this procedure. Speak to our nurses or vets to learn more.
We offer laparoscopic (keyhole) spays for dogs, please see here.
The Dog’s Trust are a charity that provide funding assistance for dog neutering in certain circumstances, and we can advise you of this; please ask. There is also funding available from the Cats Protection League for cat neutering in particular circumstances.
Microchipping
By April 2016, by law, all dogs in Wales require to be microchipped by 8 weeks of age. This facilitates early identification of lost dogs, and deters theft. We provide a low-cost service for microchipping and this can be carried out during any routine consultation without pre-booking.
