Services

• •Pets (companion animals): Routine veterinary care, urgent appointments, blood testing, and treatment for ongoing problems such as ear infections. Recent reviews mention a dog being seen quickly after eating something unsafe, and another case where the team coordinated notes with a home vet and returned blood test results within 24 hours.
• •Equine: Routine healthcare, lameness treatment, reproduction services including embryo transfer, MOET/IVF, and semen collection, plus gastroscopy, endoscopy, surgery, dentistry, and therapeutic laser treatment.
• •Farm animals: Farm animal veterinary care is listed as part of the practice’s service range.
• •Emergency care: The website specifically references emergency care for equine and farm animals. A broader emergency or extended-hours listing is also associated with the practice, although the species covered by that wider arrangement is not clearly specified.

Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average on price, but this is based on very few comparable services. Reviews also describe the practice as affordable and good value, with owners commenting that the team does not feel pushy about extra spending.
