Inspections are most welcome.

Large Waiting Room Our large waiting room allows our clients and their pets to have their own space, especially those with cats or anxious dogs.	Laser therapy room Our class IV laser therapy machine enables us to provide immediate pain relief without the use of drugs. We have had incredible results with laser therapy especially in patients with arthritis and hip dysplasia.	Consulting Room One of our three consult rooms
Second Entrance A second entrance allows our clients to enter without being worried about large dogs in the waiting room. This entrance is used for grieving clients and emergencies also.	In-House Pathology Our pathology area allows for allows veterinarians to quickly perform many of these diagnostic tests to achieve an accurate and rapid diagnosis. This is especially important in very ill animals and those requiring immediate or emergency treatment. Some more specialised tests may need to be performed by an external veterinary laboratory. Our in-house laboratory can provide results within minutes. Specialised testing may take 12-24 hours for blood results or up to 14 days for biopsy results,	Grooming Room Our grooming room has room for 7 dogs. Our air force dryer ensures your pets are completely dry before they go home, we use this method of drying as it blows the water off the coat rather than drying it out with heat. This means no chance of burns, we also rather tether pets on the table and never leave them alone unless they are put back into their run. Cat grooms are performed upstairs away from the noisy, smelly dogs downstairs.

Large Runs Our roomy runs allow large patients to move around freely before and after procedures.

This space is also used to prepare our patients before they are moved into the sterile theatre room.	Recovery Ward Our recovery ward is located in the center of upstairs this allows our veterinarians and nurses to keep a close eye on your pets while they recover from surgery. Major cases such as tick paralysis need a quiet space to improve their chances of getting better, in these cases they are placed in one of our closeable recovery rooms.
Preperation Area Having a separate area for our veterinarians to prepare for surgery reduces the risk of contamination and increases sterility.
