We have taken in this very handsome chap. Does anyone recognise him or know his owners? He is extremely friendly and was found in our car park. Male, not neutered and no microchip. Please help us reunite him with his family.

Do you remember the 80's classic animated television series The Trap Door?
We would like to introduce you to Drut😍

Drut came into us to be spayed, she then enjoyed lots of cuddles with the nurses on recovery.

We feel Drut does not resemble an oversized spider. However, we can imagine her causing trouble and chasing worms and other invaders 😂

💉Did you know that we can collect, process and interpret blood results in house meaning that we can have your pets diagnosis in under an hour.

🔬Our in house haematology (red and white blood cell counts) biochemistry (liver and kidney values) and thyroid hormone tests can give the vet results same day without having to submit samples to the external laboratory.

💊This is particularly useful for our patients undergoing an anaesthetic or any required blood tests.

👩‍🔬Our in-house lab facilities enable us to swiftly obtain test results, helping us to give your pets a speedy diagnosis.

🐶Here we have a collection of some of our recent more visual lab work that you might find interesting.🐱
