Services and facilities
Referral-level care, without the referral drive
From routine vaccinations to CT scans and keyhole surgery, almost everything your pet could need happens here, under one roof, around the clock.
Computed Tomography (CT)
CT scans for animals are very clever. A CT scan gives us a full internal 3D image of your pet, so we can get more information to quickly diagnose and, hopefully, treat them.
CT is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure that provides highly detailed, cross-sectional views of your pet's internal structures. Using a series of low-dose X-rays combined with sophisticated computer technology, a CT scan creates precise 3D images of bones, organs, blood vessels and soft tissues. This non-invasive procedure allows us to detect tumours, fractures, internal injuries, neurological conditions and other complex health concerns with exceptional accuracy. Fast, safe and painless, CT imaging helps guide treatment planning, surgical procedures and ongoing care, so your pet receives the most accurate diagnosis and the highest standard of veterinary medicine.
- Full 3D images of bones, organs, blood vessels and soft tissue
- Helps detect tumours, fractures, internal injuries and neurological conditions
- Fast, safe and painless
- Affordable CT, on site in Rugby
Endoscopy
Endoscopy for pets is the same as in humans: a very clever little camera and a light on a tube that lets us look into your pet's throat, stomach, rear end, nasal sinuses, deep in the ear and more. It is a great help for swallowed objects, recurrent sneezing and regular tummy problems.
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure that allows us to examine the inside of your pet's body without the need for traditional surgery. A thin, flexible tube with a light and a high-definition camera is gently guided into areas such as the digestive tract, airways or nasal passages to give clear, real-time images. It helps diagnose conditions like chronic vomiting, diarrhoea, foreign body ingestion, respiratory issues and certain tumours. In many cases endoscopy can also be used to remove foreign objects or collect tissue samples for biopsy. Because it needs only small incisions, or none at all, endoscopy usually means less discomfort, reduced risk and faster recovery, helping your pet get back to normal more quickly.
- Retrieves swallowed objects, often without surgery
- Investigates vomiting, diarrhoea, sneezing and breathing problems
- Tissue samples for biopsy
- Less discomfort and faster recovery
Ultrasound
Ultrasound for pets is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet's internal organs and soft tissues. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound does not use radiation, making it a gentle and effective way to look at the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen and reproductive organs.
It lets us assess organ function, detect tumours or cysts, monitor pregnancies and guide procedures such as needle biopsies with precision. Comfortable and usually well tolerated, ultrasound gives valuable information quickly, helping us plan accurate treatment while keeping your pet's safety and comfort a top priority.
- No radiation
- Heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen and reproductive organs
- Pregnancy monitoring
- Guided needle biopsies
Digital Radiography (X-ray)
Digital X-rays are a fast, safe and highly effective way to look at your pet's bones, joints, lungs, heart and abdominal organs. Using low levels of radiation, radiography produces detailed images that help us diagnose fractures, arthritis, swallowed foreign objects, respiratory conditions and other internal concerns.
The procedure is quick and non-invasive, and in many cases can be done during a routine visit. With modern digital technology the images are available almost instantly, so we can diagnose promptly and plan treatment without delay.
- Images available almost instantly
- Fractures, arthritis and swallowed objects
- Heart and lung assessment
- Often possible during a routine visit
Dentals
Dental care is an essential part of keeping your pet healthy and preventing painful oral disease. Professional veterinary dental care includes a full oral examination, digital dental X-rays, scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar, and treatment of periodontal disease. When needed, extractions or other corrective procedures relieve pain and clear infection.
Because dental disease can affect the heart, liver and kidneys if left untreated, routine dental care plays a big part in your pet's long-term wellbeing. Performed under anaesthetic for safety and comfort, our dental procedures help keep your pet's mouth healthy, breath fresh and quality of life at its very best.
- Full oral examination
- Digital dental X-rays
- Scale and polish
- Extractions and treatment of gum disease
