We’re equipped with all the tools you’d expect from a modern practice, including operating theatres, Idexx labs, ultrasound, dental X-ray, a CT scanner, digital X-ray, digital microscope, endoscope, laparoscopic kit, and much more! Our greatest strength lies in our high-calibre team, made up of certificate holders and advanced practitioners, supported by skilled nursing staff and dedicated support teams.
