Veterinary and medical
Nothing goes ahead without a consultation first
Planned procedures, discussed and agreed before anything is scheduled. Start with a consultation.
This one is not booked online. Call the number above and we will sort it out.
From
On assessment
Surgery is not something to book off a web page, so this one has no online booking on purpose. Start with a consultation. We examine the animal, tell you what we think is needed, what the alternatives are, and what each one involves.
If a procedure is the right call, we go through it with you beforehand: what it is for, what happens on the day, how long recovery takes, what it costs, and what the risks are. You should be able to repeat the plan back to us before we do anything.
Asking for a second opinion is normal and we will not take it personally. Ask.
What is included
- Consultation before anything is scheduled
- Costs and risks explained beforehand, in writing
- A second opinion is always reasonable
Common questions
Why can I not book this online?
Because we cannot tell you what is needed, or what it costs, without seeing the animal. Booking a procedure sight unseen would mean quoting you a plan we have not yet checked is the right one.
How long before I know the cost?
At the end of the consultation, in most cases. Where a test has to come back first, we tell you that and give you the range.
Other services
Not sure which one you need?
Call and describe the case. We will tell you plainly whether we are the right place, and point you somewhere else if we are not.
