Our purpose built surgery in Castlewellan was opened in 1997, and newest surgery in Downpatrick in 2015. Both are equipped with a state of the art operating theatre, diagnostic imaging suite medical laboratory with in house blood testing facilities, endoscopy, ECG machine. We are proud that both our surgeries have been accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) as small animal general practice at Tier 2 level.

As pets get older, some changes can develop gradually and may not always be obvious at home.

HealthCheck360 for Mature Pets takes a closer look at their health, with an experienced veterinary nurse assessing areas including mobility, lifestyle, and physical health.

It also includes urine analysis and blood screening, with lymphoma cancer screening for at-risk breeds. Blood pressure testing may also be carried out for cats where needed.

These additional checks can help build a fuller picture of your pet’s health as their needs change.

For dogs over 5 years old and cats aged 7 years and over.
