Home Visits
We are able to arrange home visits for our patients where necessary. Usually though treatment is more easily and effectively carried out at the surgery
where the correct equipment and experienced staff are on hand. This is especially true of most emergencies such as road traffic accidents where prompt
hospitalisation is essential and can be life saving.
The nursing staff will be able to give you advice on whether a house visit is appropriate when you ring.
Professional Fees
We strive to maintain our fees at a reasonable and affordable level. Modern Veterinary Practice is advancing rapidly and today's diagnostic procedures and
available treatments are far in advance of even a few years ago.
It is our aim to keep our facilities up to date, but the necessary expertise and technology, together with the provision of a 24-hour service every day of the
year, does cost money. The level of service we provide can only be maintained by charging a realistic fee.
In order to keep administrative costs under control we must insist that fees are paid at the time of consultation, or in the case of an animal requiring in-
patient treatment, at the time you collect your animal. Payment may be made by cash, cheque, bank card, debit card and most types of credit cards. .
Insurance
For a fraction of the feeding cost of your pet per week, you can now insure him or her against the sometimes high cost of prolonged treatment for an
unexpected illness or accident. Ideally, insurance should be taken out as soon as possible in your pet's life.
Our endeavour is to provide the best possible standard of care. Realistically, we appreciate this can be expensive and it can be very traumatic when a
pet's health or life is compromised by financial considerations. Therefore, we believe that pet insurance is of benefit to both you and your pet health.
Pharmacy and Pet-care products
We stock a wide selection of pet-care products which are available without prescription. These include flea products for the house and pet, shampoos,
worming treatments and nutritional supplements. We are also suppliers of Hill's Science Plan diets.
In the case of pharmacy medication, many can be dispensed only under authorisation from the Veterinay Surgeon. The nursing staff will be pleased to
advise you if you have any queries.
Horses and Farms
Visits are arranged by appointment by contacting the practice. Advance booking is generally followed by a phone call on the morning of the visit to agree a
time. We always try to keep to the times given, but in emergency situations the timing may vary. We will contact you in cases of excessive delay.
