We understand the special relationship people have with pets and aim to provide the best possible health care in a friendly and welcoming environment.
Treatment of sick and injured animals is a very important part of our work but we are great believers in the value of preventative health care in keeping your pet in tip top condition for a long and happy life.
Read our general pet advice to support you and your pet on their journey through life.
Cruciate ligament injury is the most common cause of hind limb problems in dogs and unfortunately, around 50% of dogs develop this condition in both hind legs.
There are two ligaments (cruciate ligaments) within the knee that help to stabilise the joint whilst walking. One of these ligaments is prone to tearing, either through injury or slow degeneration (weakening and inflammation).
Is your pet itching, scratching, chewing or frantically biting themselves?
If so, you are not alone: itchiness is one of the most common reasons that clients bring their pets to see us, and it can mean that your pet has a skin problem.
While there is much talk of food sensitivities, true allergies to food in pets are rare.
Food allergy has an immune basis, whereas an intolerance, for example, to a certain ingredient, like lactose (found in milk) does not.
We are here to help you with all your petcare needs, not just when they fall ill. We call this our wellness mission.
