KEYHOLE SURGERY
Keyhole surgery is very common in human medicine, as we know it is less painful, quicker and has fewer risks than traditional open surgery.
Tristan enjoys performing keyhole surgery, and has undertaken further specialist training.
Price of a keyhole spay depends on your dog's weight, so please call us, and we can advise you.
This price also includes a pre-operative consult, intravenous fluids during the procedure, painkillers and post-operative care (providing post-op instructions are followed)
Dr Tristan: "Keyhole surgery is at the cutting edge of veterinary care, and we are proud to be able to offer it. It's fantastic to see how quickly our patients recover afterwards!"

Acupuncture can be very effective in conditions such as arthritis.

Our visiting cardiologist, provides in-house investigations and treatment for new patients, and care for our patients with existing heart disease.
Heart disease can be detected at a very early stage now, and so effective treatments started much sooner.
