CT Scanning
Our 128-slice CT scanner provides high-resolution 3D imaging for accurate diagnosis of bone injuries, neurological conditions, and internal organ issues. The rapid scanning process minimises sedation time while delivering detailed images for veterinary specialists to analyse. This technology enables precise treatment planning for complex cases.
Hydrotherapy
Customised hydrotherapy programmes utilise our underwater treadmill and therapy pool to improve mobility and muscle strength. Tailored treatment plans address post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and neurological rehabilitation. Qualified therapists ensure safe, effective sessions for dogs and small animals requiring physical therapy.
Physiotherapy
Combining electrotherapy, manual techniques, and therapeutic exercises, our physiotherapy services address musculoskeletal conditions and post-operative recovery. Treatment plans incorporate laser therapy and hydrotherapy to enhance healing while improving joint mobility and muscle function for companion animals.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive laser treatments reduce inflammation and alleviate chronic pain through targeted light energy application. This drug-free therapy accelerates tissue repair while improving circulation, offering effective management for arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery in pets.
Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture addresses pain management and chronic conditions through strategic needle placement. This complementary treatment enhances conventional veterinary care by stimulating natural healing processes and improving quality of life for animals with musculoskeletal or neurological conditions.
