Practice Tour

Reception/Waiting area This is a modern and comfortable area for pets and their owners to sit whilst waiting for their appointment. Information on a variety of subjects about pet health is available. Receptionists are happy to answer questions and to offer advice. Pet food, grooming aids, dental care products, collars, leads and toys are also for sale.
	Consulting Room Consulting rooms are light and well equipped for our Veterinary Surgeons to carry out full and thorough examinations and treatment of your pets. Full clinical records are accessible from our totally computerised system.
	Operating Theatre The operating theatre is where all surgical procedures are carried out. It is a sterile, climate controlled area where staff must wear operating gowns, hats and shoes and observe theatre protocol at all times. Anaesthetised animals are continuously monitored by qualified, experienced Veterinary Nurses, with assistance from electrical monitoring equipment.
	Laboratory We have modern and accurate haematology, biochemistry and electrolytes to analyse blood samples quickly and efficiently as well as a modern microscope and staining techniques to allow us to examine urine sediment and cells in detail.
	Radiography room This is where all our x-rays are taken, and where our ultrasound scanning is carried out. Our high specification x-ray machine and automatic xray developer ensures high xray quality. Ultrasound examination for pregnancy, abdominal and chest problems are commonly performed. Blood pressure is commonly assessed here as it is a quiet area.
	Preparation room This is where the animals are given their anaesthetic and prepared for their operation, before going into the theatre. It is also where most minor procedures are carried out.
	Kennel Room The kennel room is equipped with spacious kennels and cages and is where animals are housed prior to surgery. They return here when they have woken up from their anaesthetic. The kennels are made from stainless steel which makes them easy to clean and disinfect.
	Dispensary All medicines are stored in the dispensary. We stock a full range of all the latest products and have daily deliveries from our veterinary wholesaler.
