We are a veterinary clinic offering comprehensive medical, dental, diagnostic and surgical care. By far the vast majority of our patients have been dogs and cats. However, we welcome all the other small animals too such as ferrets, rabbits, birds, reptiles and rodents. Our veterinarians provide a wide array of diagnostic procedures and testing.
We do provide house call services. The vet travels to your house to check on your pet’s condition or give a treatment.
In some situations, a nurse would be needed to assist, depending on the type of the treatment or procedures required and also on the behavior of your pet.
House call arrangements are subjected to the availability of the veterinarians.
Please note that there are many conditions, especially in case the animals are really sick, where a house call is not beneficial as the diagnosis of the condition may require certain tests or treatment that may only be provided at the clinic.
Additional charges are applied for house call services.
We’re pleased to provide exceptional vet care for your pets!

Our clinic is fitted with spacious kennels and cages to hospitalize all species. The nursing team makes all efforts to ensure that your pets are comfortable and clean during their stay in here. Pets that need hospitalization are monitored and assessed frequently until they are ready to be discharged.
Please note that we are not a 24 hour hospital but overnight intensive care can usually be arranged if the pet is in a critical condition.
You may contact our clinic anytime in case your pet requires special care.
Please note that extra charges will be applied.
Routine surgeries include sterilizations for both male and female animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters etc.).
The testicles of male animals are surgically removed. This helps to reduce aggression, straying, territory marking tendencies as well as lowers the risks of prostate and testicular diseases.
Early sterilization of female animals (or removal of the ovaries and part of the uterus) helps to prevent mammary tumors. Pyometra (infection of the uterus), which is a common condition for female animals after their heat cycle; however it can be averted with sterilization.
These surgeries are performed daily (Tue to Sat) and pets are discharged on the same day of the surgery. Fasting is required for all surgeries.
Please contact the clinic to make an appointment in advance.
Vaccinations are injections given to dogs and cats to protect them from dangerous viruses and bacteria. They are made of killed or modified viruses to stimulate an immunological response to future diseases. Schedule your animal for his or her first exam as soon as possible. Until your animal has received a series of vaccines, he or she is susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. We will make sure your new dog among other diseases is protected against rabies, distemper, parvovirus and adenovirus. Before vaccination your animal will also need to be tested and treated for parasites, which are extremely common for young dogs.
We believe that the greatest gift you can ever give to your animal companion is the commitment to wellness care. Routine wellness visits and preventative medicine provide a solid foundation upon which your pet can experience a lifetime of good health. These visits, typically once or twice a year, allow us to assess your pet’s health, and then monitor his or her ongoing wellness over time.
Seeing your pet regularly provides the opportunity to notice any changes or concerns early – before they may develop into a more serious and costly problem. These days, we are able to protect our companion animals from a wide variety of serious, sometimes life-threatening diseases through simple vaccinations. Yet, just because a vaccine is available doesn’t mean your pet needs it. We’ll carefully assess your pet’s unique needs, risk factors and lifestyle to develop a tailor-made vaccination plan that will keep them healthy and safe.
Finally, being able to see you and your pet regularly allows our veterinarians and care team to really get to know you both.
Below are the diseases which dogs and cats are protected against when they are vaccinated.
Dogs
Cats
Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations followed by annual boosters. For your pet’s welfare, please ensure they do not suffer from any existing problems at the point of vaccination. The pet needs to have medication for internal parasites about one week before vaccination.
Radiography (X-ray) is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in veterinary clinics as it is a rather non-invasive method that provides a lot of information to the veterinarian for diagnosis of the disease. X-ray may be used to evaluate the heart, lungs and great vessels within the chest cavity, abdominal organs, and bones. Some of the conditions where an x-ray may be needed include pneumonia, foreign bodies, masses in abdominal organs, kidney / urinary tract diseases, fractures etc.
Although radiography is a relatively non-invasive procedure, sedation may be required in order to obtain good quality images and sometimes to reduce anxiety or stress and for pain control associated with manipulation of the animals to obtain the images.
We provide consultations for all species (dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles). It is our practice to discuss with the pets ‘owners the relevant aspects pertaining to their pet’s condition. As animals cannot speak, we appreciate if you could give us accurate history to help us with our diagnosis.
Beforehand appointments are necessary for consultations.
Walk-in consultations are allowed if your pet’s condition is acute and needs immediate attention. In walk-in consultations please be prepared to wait because we can be in the middle of an operation. It is always advisable to call beforehand.
If your pet is sick or you suspect he or she has been injured in some way, don’t hesitate to bring it in for a diagnostic workup. We’ll work hard to get to the bottom of the problem so we can get your companion back on the path to good health as soon as possible. We’ll do all possible to swiftly and accurately achieve a diagnosis so we can work toward developing an appropriate treatment plan as efficiently and effectively as possible.
If your pet needs surgery, don’t fret. Our clinic’s staff is here to provide all of your companion’s surgical care needs. We’ll have them fixed up and back to their normal, active lifestyle in no time! Before we proceed with any surgery, your pet will be carefully screened to ensure that he or she is healthy enough to move forward. We will then develop a customized pain management plan that is specifically tailored to your pet. We use only the safest anesthetic products which are administered under the careful watch of our skilled veterinarians. We want to keep your companion as pain free as possible. During surgery, our doctors adhere to the highest standards of care and focus on delivering the best surgical experience possible. Your pet will be closely monitored by our well trained support staff throughout the procedure to ensure that their heart rate and oxygen level are precisely where they should be.
Shortly after the surgery is complete and your pet is in recovery, you will be contacted and we will explain how the procedure went and advise you on when your pet will be ready to go home as well. When you arrive for pick up, we’ll go over our instructions for post-surgical care and pain management to increase the chances of a full and speedy recovery.
Orthopaedic surgeries refer to surgeries on the bones and joints. Skeletal problems range from congenital abnormalities in the elbows (ununited anconeal process, fracture of the coronoid process), knees (patellar luxations) and hips (hip dysplasia, Legg Calve Perthes disease) to traumatic fractures (usually in the long bones) and ligamentous injuries (cranial cruciate ruptures) in the body. Orthopaedic conditions are diagnosed through history, physical examinations and radiographs. In most cases, pets will have to be sedated for radiography to get the right positioning as well as to reduce pain in cases of bone fractures. Upon identifying the orthopaedic condition, the vet will discuss the options available for management of the problem. Most pets undergoing orthopaedic surgeries will require a one-day hospitalization to monitor their recovery and to administer pain relief medications. Please enquire with the clinics prior to booking in any surgeries.
Soft tissue surgeries refer to any surgeries on the body that do not involve the bones. Our clinic is able to perform soft tissue surgeries on all pets. Of course we operate reptiles and birds too.
Soft tissue surgeries most commonly involve the skin (removal of lumps/masses), bladder (stone removal), ear (aural haematoma), spleen (complete removal due to cancer or rupture), intestines (removal of foreign body, and eyes (eyelid wounds, enucleation).
Surgeries, not mentioned above, may be inquired with our clinic for availability.
Pets undergoing such procedures will need to be assessed physically and have blood tests, with the veterinarian discussing the aspects of the surgery with the owner to ensure a good outcome.
Post-surgical hospitalization may be necessary in some cases.
We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety. Every anesthetic protocol is specifically tailored to each patient’s health condition in order to provide the most uneventful anesthetic episode possible. Using the skill of our highly trained veterinary technician along with our anesthetic monitoring equipment, each patient’s vital signs are continuously monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
Providing your pet with quality dental care does much more than just prevent bad breath. Without the proper care and attention, your companion’s teeth and gums can become a haven for bacteria, which can eventually lead to dental disease, a serious condition that can wreak havoc on his or her entire body. Periodontal disease is something that affects the majority of adult dogs and cats, but the good news is it’s preventable, provided you make a commitment to pet dentistry, both professional and at home. Even if you’ve never paid much mind to your pet’s teeth, it’s never too late to start!
We have everything your pet needs to enjoy a healthy, happy mouth. We offer professional pet dentistry services including routine and preventative care, such as cleanings and exams, as well as the treatment of existing oral health problems. Our team is highly skilled in the most modern pet dentistry techniques and we employ the use of cutting edge tools to provide your pet with the best available oral health care. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff will be happy to work with you to offer advice and guidance on dental care techniques that you can use at home to keep your pet’s teeth and gums clean in between veterinarian visits. Dental hygiene is a quintessential part of pet’s total healthcare. Good oral practices involve daily brushing and visiting the vet annually for a dental check and scaling.
The consequences of not taking care of your pets’ teeth can be severe and range from periodontal disease (gum disease) to tooth root abscess to organ failure (from spread of bacteria from mouth to vital organs like heart, liver and kidneys).
It is a well-documented fact that poor oral health is linked to an increased incidence of multi-organ failure in humans and pets.
In our clinics, pets receive a proper oral and general check which involves blood tests for pets above 5 years old prior to being anaesthetized for teeth scaling. The procedure is fast but requires your pet to stay in the clinic for a few hours to monitor their recovery from anaesthesia.
We also have a range of oral hygiene products so please inquire with our veterinarians or receptionists if you wish to give your pets the complete oral care home treatment.
Kinder and more humane because it eliminates the need for tough restraint, especially when extractions and removing the plaque under the gumline can be painful.
Without it it is not possible to do a thorough cleaning of all teeth, including under the gumline.
Allows the vet to check if periodontal pockets are eroded. Intervention can begin at a much earlier stage with proper diagnosis.
Identifying Peridontal Disease in Dogs (left) and Cats (right)
Stage 1 – Gingivitis
Margin of attached gingival (gum) is inflamed and swollen.
Plaque covering teeth.
Treatment can reverse condition.
Stage 2 – Early Peridontitis
Entire attached gum is inflamed and swollen.
Mouth is painful and odour begins to be noticeable.
Professional treatment and home dental care can prevent this from becoming irreversible.
Stage 3 – Moderate Peridontitis
Cherry red and bleeding attached gum is being destroyed by infection and calculus (tartar).
Sore mouth affects eating and behaviour.
Bad breath is present.
Beginning of peridontal disease.
May be irreversible.
Stage 4 – Advanced Peridontitis
Bacterial infection is destroying the gum, tooth and bone.
Bacteria may be spreading throughout the entire body via the bloodstream and may damage the kidneys, liver and heart.
The process of cleaning the teeth is very similar to the method used by human dental hygienists. It involves the scaling and removal of any plaque on the teeth, exploration of any tooth root exposure and any wobbly/loose or severely damaged teeth may need to be removed.
Dental procedures should only be performed at a veterinary practice.
If you think your pet is having dental issue, please book an appointment to schedule for a dental assessment.
Just because they’re small doesn’t mean they can’t benefit from veterinary attention. Many of their problems are husbandry related. On a consult our veterinarian goes through your pet’s living conditions and especially the diet your animal has had.
These companion animals can suffer from many health issues. Parasites such as lice, mites, and fleas can infest your pet as well.
Call us if your pet stops eating, loses weight, appears quieter than normal, has discharge from the eye, mouth or nose, or develops a lump on its body. Many of them have as a survival trick to hide injury and illness to prevent predators from targeting them. Therefore, regular veterinary visits are important to help detect early indications of illness. During a normal well pet visit, the staff will go over many aspects of pet care, discuss ways to detect early disease and minimize preventable illness, and share any new advances in exotic pet care that might benefit your special pet. All new pets go home with written care instructions.
Pets can experience the same sensations of pain as humans do. Some types of pain are chronic, such as the pain caused by certain degenerative medical conditions, like arthritis or hip dysplasia. Additionally, pets can experience bouts of acute or sudden pain following an injury or surgery. Regardless of the type of pain, experiencing such discomfort can greatly affect their quality of life and delay healing.
If you believe your companion is experiencing pain or discomfort, contact us right away. We can conduct a thorough exam and run diagnostic testing to determine what’s causing the problem, and develop an appropriate plan to address it. Pain management may include physical therapy plans, losing extra weight, medication or any combination of these. Let us get to the bottom of your pet’s pain issues and help them live a more comfortable, happy life.
