Patients requiring hospitalisation are cared for 24 hours a day at the Solihull surgery, where our dedicated emergency team is based.
Our hospitalisation facilities include walk-in kennels for bigger dogs, an isolation area for infectious cases, separate cat ward, incubators for extra warmth and oxygen and vivaria for our more exotic patients.
Our operating facilities allow us to perform a range of surgery from routine neutering procedures to complex repairs of broken bones.
We are proud to have one of the most advanced in-house laboratories in the country run by our experienced lab technician with vet nurse support.
