Our practices focus is to develop and provide veterinary practice based on excellence in patient care, treatment plans and diagnostics supported by stand-out customer care.

Our Client & Patient Care
In both 2014 and 2018 we were awarded Greencross Vets Clinic of the Year, out of our national network of over 100 clinics. These awards are exceptional achievements and we feel it is a reflection of our team’s commitment to our vision. Our clients are an important part of that success in that we have formed relationships built on trust, respect and communication with them over the years.

We strive to provide a 5 star service to you and your pets in a caring and friendly environment.

Our dedicated team is very passionate about what we do and your pets will always be in the best of care. You can feel confident in your choice to have our team nurture your pets as, continuing education is crucial to the quality of care and advice we provide to your companions.

Our Veterinary Services
We offer a comprehensive range of professional veterinary services to cater for all your pet needs, ranging from preventative health care to weight loss programs through to surgery and diagnostic medicine.

Our clinic provides internal imaging technology which means your pet does not have to leave our site in to get any imaging done, as we have a CT scanner on site. Unlike conventional x-rays, CT scanning provides detailed 3D images of many types of soft tissue as well as the lungs, bones, and blood vessels, improving veterinary diagnostics for each patient.

As one of the few veterinary clinics with a CT scanner on site, we’ll be able to quickly and more accurately diagnose our pet patients and in some cases, avoid a visit to the animal hospital.

Outpatient Referral Services
We offer a range of outpatient referral services for pets at local veterinary clinics requiring tailored care.

These include:
– In-depth imaging with our on-site GE Revolution CT scanner
– Endoscopy
– Cystoscopy
– Laparoscopic organ biopsy
– Laparoscopic spey
