Our Services

Adopting a new puppy or kitten into your family is a very exciting prospect but it can also be very overwhelming. We are here to guide you along this process and reassure. In your first appointment we will perform a thorough health assessment and discuss their vaccination, nutritional, dental care and social needs.

Dental disease is the most common chronic illness we see in our pets. Despite this it is still under diagnosed and treated. A dental assessment forms part of our routine examination at The Urban Vet, to make sure that we pick up any dental issues before they become more severe. Dental x-ray and the latest dental equipment allows us to perform thorough treatments to alleviate pain and suffering.

Yearly vaccinations protect our furry friends from what would otherwise be debilitating diseases. However, it also give us the opportunity to assess your dog or cat for other illnesses and answer any of your concerns. Before any vaccine is administered we perform a full clinical exam during a 20 minute appointment. We also offer blood titre testing in dogs to see if vaccination against distemper, parvo and hepatitis is really necessary and in your pet’s best interest.

Neutering can have significant health and social benefits. But not all pets are equal and this must be considered at the right time. With our experienced surgeons we will discuss whether this is the right decision for your dog/ cat and the different surgical and non-surgical options.

With state of the art blood machines in house, there is no need to wait days for results. We provide same day results for many tests so we can move forward with getting the treatment your pet needs.

Regular claw trims may become more of a necessity as your pet grows older and exercises less. We also advise regular claw checks for indoor cats. Our friendly nursing team are more than happy to assess your pet’s claws and ensure they’re comfortable.

The endless options of pet food on offer these days can make it difficult to choose the right product for your pet. We can discuss your pets nutritional requirements, catering for any medical conditions and together choose a food to suit your budget.

Worms and fleas may seem like a bit of a nuisance but they can have serious short and long term effects on your pet’s and family’s health. Dependent on your dog or cat’s individual risk, we will tailor-make a prevention plan to ensure we control these pests, without over treating either.

Digital x-ray and ultrasound allow us to work up cases on-site, providing continuity of care. Results from which can guide our treatment and help monitor ongoing illnesses.

Visiting orthopaedic, soft tissue and cardiologist surgeons mean you don’t have to travel elsewhere for gold standard treatment.

A microchip is the size of a grain of rice and contains a unique number for your animal. The insertion of a microchip is by injection and takes seconds. It is a legal requirement to microchip all dogs over eight weeks of age. We also strongly recommend microchipping cats whether they are indoor or outdoor. This then allows stray pets to be easily identified and reunited with their family.
