We also have several new team members joining us in early 2025, and we are looking for a vet, ideally with some experience, to join us on our ongoing journey.

📸 🦷 Did You Know? Dental X-rays can reveal what’s hiding beneath the surface! 🦷 📸

While a visual exam is important, some dental issues lurk below the gum line and can’t be seen without X-rays. Here’s what we can uncover:
✅ Fractured roots
✅ Abscesses or infections
✅ Bone loss
✅ Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs) – a common and painful condition in cats where the tooth erodes from the inside out.

X-rays allow us to diagnose and treat these problems early, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy.

It was great to meet Luke Murphy MP. It’s great to see engagement with local businesses on how he can make a difference. His time was greatly appreciated. Whilst help as a new small business is greatly appreciated we discussed at length various animal welfare concerns. We hope to see our government engaging with reviews of current legislation. Thanks for visiting Luke 👍
