Chiropracter
Chiropractic care for pets involves undergoing spinal manipulation or manual therapy to move misplaced vertebrae in the spine (vertebral subluxations) back into their normal position to release pressure on the surrounding nerve tissue. This relieves pain and enables the body to heal itself naturally.

Microbiome testing
Our pet’s microbiome is a mini ecosystem located in the digestive tract, made up of microbes and other microorganisms including both desirable and undesirable bacteria unique to each pet. The microbiome plays a significant role in balancing not only a pets’ digestive health, but their overall well-being.

We believe prevention is better than cure, to prevent disease we need to make educated decisions about our pet’s health care from the moment we get them as a puppy or kitten through their adult life. We need to make choices regarding diet, immunisation, training, neutering, supplements and more. Many pet parents often don’t realise they have a choice for example vaccination vs titre test or a worming tablet vs faecal egg count. We are here to give you knowledge and choice. We have created three holistic life stage consultations for young, adult and senior pets!
Faecal Egg Count
A Faecal Egg Count or FEC counts the number of worm eggs in your pet’s faeces. The results are presented as ‘eggs per gram’ (epg) of faeces. The number of eggs is an indication of the number of adult worms in the gut of your dog or cat. Lungworm screens are slightly different as they look for live larvae in the faeces.

Natural nutrition
‘You are what you eat’
This phrase is just as true for our pets as it is for us. Our dogs and cats are living mammals that should be fed a fresh, moist, and nutritious diet to help them live a long and disease-free life. This diet may be in the form of a raw or home cooked diet.
Our veterinary team will help you to make the best decisions regarding your pet’s diet, from feeding a puppy or kitten, feeding an adult maintenance diet, or feeding for a condition such as kidney disease.
We offer beginner raw feeding consultations to get you started on the right path. We are always available to give advice over the phone, email or via our Facebook page and groups.
