✨ Our pets may not be able to tell us when they’re hurting, but that doesn’t mean they’re not in pain. Animals instinctively hide signs of pain to avoid showing weakness, and cats are especially adept at masking discomfort.

Surprisingly, research reveals that 80% of dogs develop some form of arthritis by the age of eight, and an alarming 20% start showing symptoms as early as one year old. Cats aren't far behind in these statistics. This makes arthritis a commonly overlooked condition in veterinary medicine.

Arthritis can strike any joint in your pet’s body, but it most commonly affects the hips, knees, shoulders, and elbows. These joints rely on cartilage to cushion bone movements and synovial fluid to keep things lubricated. When arthritis sets in, the cartilage breaks down, and the synovial fluid loses its effectiveness, leading to painful friction during movement.

Although arthritis is incurable, managing its symptoms effectively can ensure your pet enjoys a comfortable and active life. Early detection is key to better management and improved quality of life.

📚 Kath’s Training Tip Tuesday: Move a bit slower for your pet and allow them extra time to keep up with the game. Try placing 3 paper cups upside down with a treat hidden under one. Your pet must use their sense of smell to find the treat.

Our Story

Dr Helen Greenhalgh opened the surgery in 1998 next door to our current address. In 2003 Dr Helen constructed a purpose built practise with the health of your pet and your peace of mind as its number one priority. With Dr Helen, Dr Leslie, Dr John, the nurses and reception staff you can be assured of personalised sevice each and every time you visit. There are 3 Spacious consultation rooms with the state-of-the-art equipment for us to thoroughly examine your pet. We also have a separate consulting room for our feline friends scented with calming feline pheronones to help relax them and make their visit as stress free as possible. We have a bright and spacious reception area with many comforts to make your check in a pleasant and stress free experience for every family member. In the reception area we have a variety of diets: food for normal healthy pets and also diets for those with special needs. Our nurses are highly trained and can advise you on the best diet plan for your pet. We also stock range of dental requirements, grooming tools and yummy treats. Our hospital is very spacious. We have large kennels for our bigger dogs, cages for the little ones, and a seperate ward for our feline friends. Our cages have heated floors for those recovering from surgery or illness. All our parients receive comfortable bedding, regular toilet walks and the very best of care from our staff. We have a seperate sterile surgical theatre fully equipped with state of the art monitoring equipment. We do routine surgeries such as desexings and lump removals, but also orthopedic and specialist surgeries such as fracture repairs, cruciate ligament repairs and even eye surgery. We also have treatment benches in the hospital for non sterile procedures such as dental scaling and polishing, dental extractions, ear flushing etc. We are also able to do dental x-rays for an in-depth look at your pets teeth. For dental procedures we have a state of the art dental machine that cleans and polishes your pets teeth to remove plaque and tartar and freshen your pets's breath. We also use a dental x-ray maching to aid diadnosis of oral cavity disease. We use the latest and most up to date human grade anaesthetics and thoroughly researched drugs. and we endeavour to make your pets experience in our hospital as stress-free and safe as possible. All patients are monitored closely by an experienced and caring nurse throughout their stay. In a separate dedicated area we have modern digital x-ray facilities to assist us in making correct diagonses. Our clinic has the latest laboratory equipment to run tests on your pet. Routine blood screens, heartworm tests, urine tests and electrolyte testing can all be performed in-house rather than sending samples away. further extensive testing is done by an external pathology sevice delivering prompt results. Our vets and nurses are up to date with the latest information and regularly attend conferences and courses to expand their knowledge. If we feel your pet needs specialist care we will be happy to refer them. Our experienced dog groomers service, on a Monday and Thursday, Pamper your pooch with a warm hydro bath, blow dry and a haircut. We only use the best shampoos and treatments; medicated shampoo is available on request.
