Services we offer

With our 15-minute consultations, you have enough time to ask our expert vets any - and every - question you might have regarding your pet’s health and lifestyle.

Caring for all aspects of your pet’s oral health is easy with our excellent dental facilities.

These glands release a smelly fluid which helps your pet to mark their territory and communicate with other dogs. But sometimes they can become blocked and infected. At Medivet our clinics can help with routine gland expression, making sure your pet stays comfortable and healthy.

We know that sometimes it just isn’t possible for you or your pet to travel into one of our practices to receive care. At times like this, our capable and compassionate veterinary teams often offer at home visits.

Quick and efficient testing at our state-of-the-art in-house laboratories is just one aspect of the exceptional care we offer.

Medivet Labs is dedicated to providing a quality diagnostic laboratory service to the veterinary profession using modern technology combined with professional excellence and personal care.

Receive expert advice from our experienced nurses on keeping your pet healthy and happy.

We’re excited to share with you that Medivet clients* can now book appointments online.

Pet cremation is just one option to think about. Whether it’s something you ultimately decide is right for you or not, Medivet is here to support and guide you.

Knowing what to expect and how to prepare can help bring some comfort and peace. Medivet is here to guide you through every step of this process. Find a clinic near you which can offer compassionate and personalised support.

A pet ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique used to view your pet's internal organs and identify potential issues.

We use x-ray machines to quickly diagnose issues that might affect your pet.
