Veterinary Surgeon – Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

The Practice

We provide a wide range of veterinary services for small animals and exotic pets and are able to perform a dental scale and polish for dogs and cats using the ultrasonic handpiece and remove broken or diseased teeth using high-speed burs. We anaesthetise our patients for dental work for their safety and ours. We have a new modern ultrasound machine that enables us to look at patients internal organs without the need for invasive surgery. It is particularly useful for soft tissue (as opposed to bone) investigations and especially for the diagnosis of some heart problems in dogs and cats.

We have modern operating theatres with state of the art anaesthetic machines and monitoring equipment. A wide range of surgery takes place every weekday, including neutering, wound repair, fractures pinned or plated, cruciate ligament repair and removal of lumps. Although dogs and cats make up most of the patients, we also regularly operate on rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters.
