With extensive inhouse laboratory facilities, we have an array of tests which can be performed.
This means we can often have results the same day which is very useful particularly in emergency cases.
Tests performed inhouse include:
For some tests that cannot be performed at the surgery, we have a courier service provided from a variety of external laboratories, who offer a very wide range of additional tests. Samples will be collected and processed quickly, a report is then sent to our vets so we can discuss the results with you.
We believe in a proactive, preventive approach to your pet’s healthcare, which is why we provide pet health plans to help you keep them happy and healthy for longer. Pet health plans enable costs to be spread into monthly payments to make sure your pet’s vaccinations, parasite control and general health are all up to date to help protect against preventable diseases and discomfort.
Pet health plans are not pet insurance and cover regular items such as; vaccinations, parasite treatment, health checks as well as discount on a selection of procedures and products, therefore those items not covered by insurance and so giving peace of mind that these areas are covered.
Pet health plans can be set-up in practice or over the phone.
Costs of our pet health plans vary depending on species and size. For further details please talk to a member of the team.
While you may expect and hope to not need to use your pet insurance, you are more likely to claim on pet insurance than your household insurance. Insuring your pet, gives you peace of mind if the unexpected happens.
A pet insurance policy will cover the cost of medical expenses that could not have been anticipated. This means that it will not cover the costs of routine visits to the vet such as for vaccinations or preventative parasite treatment or for neutering surgery.
There are a few main types of pet insurance being; lifetime cover, non-lifetime cover and accident only cover as well as exclusions and terms, such as with pre-existing conditions and older pets.
Therefore, please ensure that you read all of the documentation before taking out a new insurance policy, they will differ greatly and some will exclude many common conditions as part of their standard policy.
Our payment terms are payment at the time of treatment. The insurance company then pay you, the client directly. Any claims that you wish to be paid directly to us MUST be authorised by a director prior to any treatment.
Several of our vets are qualified to issue pet passports and advice on travel.
We also advise checking the DEFRA website as requirements for individual countries are updated regularly https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs
