The clinic as we know it today has had a few facelifts over the years, with the addition of a new surgical theatre suite and inpatient care facilities, as well as an expansion of the waiting areas to allow for separate dog and cat waiting areas, a requirement to maintain our Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic award. The practice also has digital x-ray, ultrasound and in-house laboratories for routine analysis testing
