Our aim is to provide a high standard of care at an affordable price. Inevitably treatment can sometimes be expensive and we do recommend pet insurance. Click here for some pointers to finding the right type of policy.

Advice

If you need advice about an illness or problem your pet is experiencing, please telephone your nearest branch (click here for details). Our reception staff will be able to help you decide whether your pet needs to see a vet or not. Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose problems over the telephone without seeing your pet, but our nursing staff can give general advice over the phone about minor ailments such as tummy upsets, minor cuts or general care.

Consultations

If your pet needs to see a vet the receptionist will make an appointment to see one of the vets. All consultations with the vet are by appointment except in an emergency. A normal initial consultation is for 10 minutes and is strictly 1 pet per consultation. If you have more than 1 pet you want to be examined or you feel there are problems that may take some time to discuss, please mention this when booking the appointment so adequate time can be scheduled for the examination.

In most cases treatment can be given at the time of the consultation. If tests or an operation is needed the vet will be able to discuss this with you along with the possible costs.

In-patient care

If your pet needs tests, more involved treatment or an operation you may need to leave him/her with us. Most pets are perfectly happy in our care, despite many owners concerns at leaving them in a strange place. Our nurses do a great job of looking after the patients and making sure they are comfortable and well-looked after. Special diets/ food requests can normally be catered for.
We are happy for you to come and visit your pet in our hospital at Moseley if they are kept in for longer than 24 hours- please telephone the hospital nurse to arrange this.

Operations & Tests

We are able to perform routine surgery at all our branches. More complex surgery, tests or where pets need overnight treatment will be at the main practice in Moseley.

All our vets are experienced and have perform many different operations on different types of pet each day. In most cases operations are performed by one of our vets but in some cases we may suggest referral to a specialist.
