We believe that small companions deserve the same high standard of medical care as their larger counterparts. Our expertise extends beyond dogs and cats to include specialised care for "pocket pets," such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets.
Because these species are often "prey" animals, they are experts at hiding signs of illness. We recommend a nose-to-tail consultation every six months to ensure we catch any potential health issues early.
Just like dogs and cats, pocket pets require specific preventative measures to stay healthy in the local environment.
It is essential for all domestic rabbits to be vaccinated against Calicivirus.
We provide Distemper vaccinations to protect your ferrets from this serious viral disease.
During your visit, we can provide tailored advice on flea and mite prevention specifically for small mammals.
For more information on our preventative protocols, visit our Vaccinations & Preventative Care page.
Our sterile surgical suites are equipped to handle delicate procedures for small patients.
When a small pet becomes unwell, time is of the essence. Our Veterinary Diagnostics hub allows us to perform rapid testing to get your pet on the road to recovery.
Advanced Imaging: We use digital X-ray and ultrasound to diagnose internal issues in small mammals with high precision.
Dental Care: Rabbits and guinea pigs often suffer from dental overgrowth. We use specialised instruments to assess and treat dental disease beneath the gum line.
