Services

•Low-cost support for eligible owners: free and low-cost veterinary care is a core part of the hospital’s offer, with reviews also mentioning small donations or contributions toward treatment and medication.

•Medical treatment and prescriptions: review examples include antibiotics, other prescribed medication collected from reception, and treatment plans arranged after assessment.
•In-clinic treatment and monitoring: one owner describes a dog receiving an injection for an allergic reaction and then being kept in briefly to make sure she was OK.
•Surgery and overnight care: one review mentions a cat being admitted, cared for overnight, and undergoing life-saving surgery.
•End-of-life and after-death support: owners repeatedly mention sensitive euthanasia support with time to say goodbye, and recent feedback highlights help with cremation arrangements plus paw-print and nose-print keepsakes.
