Services
Pet vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits to protect against life-threatening diseases. Our vets tailor vaccination schedules to each pet's lifestyle and travel needs. Annual boosters and health checks ensure ongoing immunity, with vaccines included in our Pet Health Club plans for cost-effective preventative care.
Wellness screening
Our comprehensive wellness screens for mature pets include blood tests, urine analysis, and physical exams to detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other conditions. Early detection allows prompt treatment, helping pets maintain quality of life through regular six-month assessments.
Flea prevention
We offer prescription-only flea and tick treatments tailored to your pet's needs, including spot-ons, tablets, and collars. Our Pet Health Club members receive routine parasite protection as part of their preventative healthcare plan, reducing risks of infestations and associated diseases.
Microchipping
Microchipping provides permanent identification for pets, increasing recovery chances if lost. The quick, minimally invasive procedure is available at all our clinics, with microchipping included in our Pet Health Club plans for added value and pet safety.
Repeat prescriptions
We process repeat prescription requests within 48 hours, ensuring continuous treatment for chronic conditions. Our online system allows convenient ordering of medications, with automated reminders for scheduled treatments and refills to maintain your pet's health regimen.

It is the first time I have used a veterinary service myself on a pet that's not been a family one and I am so happy with the service received. The receptionist is welcoming and the environment on entry is calming and my dag is relaxed while waiting his turn. The consultant is fantastic, he broke everything down step by step so there was no confusion. Where treatment was needed he made me aware of costs. I am happy I chose this veterinary clinic for my pup.

I turned up at the wrong branch but these guys were so lovely they still fitted my dog coco in.
Coco had previously been seen by the arboretum branch due to a rash which was getting worse and after 2 weeks of sleepless nights she had the best sleep last night following her visit here.
Vet advised this is only temporary relief but long term she will need tests/skin graft etc which is different advice given by arboretum branch so I'm a little apprehensive about what advice to follow but overall I'm really happy with how well we were greeted and treated by this team. Friendly service

When the unfortunate time came to say goodbye to our beloved dog, we could not get into the usual vets but PetSave in Darlaston took the call and were able to fit is in immediately. The lady on reception was very kind and sympathetic to us and when we brought him in they handled him with such care. They turned what was a very difficult situation and did everything they could to comfort us. Following on from that sad day, we were surprised to receive a card wishing their condolences which was a lovely gesture from the team. I can't say enough praise for them, and their kindness and sensitivity
