Here for all your pet's needs

Our vets will carefully check your pet’s mouth and recommend preventive hygiene treatment. We offer a wide range of dental care, including scale and polish to remove the tartar and treat underlying gingivitis. We also perform dental x-rays to assess the health of the tooth below the gum line allowing us to identify problems that are not visible with a physical examination. This helps our skilled vets to decide if the teeth are damaged and may need extracting. Our x-ray machine is one of the latest and most modern pieces of dental equipment on the market.

We will do a full examination of your pet’s skin and coat. If your pet is showing symptoms of skin disease we can discuss a diagnostic plan. Investigations that we can perform include; parasite checks, skin scrapes, hair plucks, allergy testing and skin biopsies. Our vets will work with you to find the best treatment to ensure your pet is comfortable and itch-free. There are various options for treatment including; shampoos, creams, medications, diets and immunotherapy.

We offer a wide range of investigations, such as our modern in-house blood machines that perform haematology and biochemistry. They can rapidly analyse to provide us with information about kidney and liver function, blood sugar, thyroid levels and a full blood cell and many others. We have a top of the range X-ray machine to help us to non-invasively visualise the integrity of bones, the organs in the abdomen and chest. We can also perform ultrasound of the chest and abdomen. We also have the privilege of having a cardiology specialist, Andrew Francis, among our team who can provide gold standard investigations into heart disease in both cats and dogs.

Saying goodbye to your beloved pet is never easy. That’s why at Pickles we want to help support you and your pet when that time comes. We have a designated room which is quiet, calm and comfortable for you, your family and your pet to take your time to spend these final moments together. Our vets and nurses can go through what will happen on the day in advance if required. We can also provide paw prints, fur clipping and a variety of options for ashes if you would like. We will be there for you every step of the way.

Our vets will solve all your questions regarding your pet’s weight - either if it’s too skinny or too chunky. We will give you the best and tailored advice and book follow ups to guide you throughout your pet's weight journey. We are in a proud partnership with Butternut Box which offers personalised plans with fresh meals delivered to your door. Ask us about any member-only offers they provide.

We have a wide range of medications in-clinic for all of your pet’s needs. We have a flea and wormer subscription package (coming soon!). We will tailor a plan specific to your pet’s needs and can have it delivered directly to your house. It will also be easy to order your repeat medications through the Pickles app.

It can be scary bringing a new pet into the family but do not worry, we will be there every step of the way! We can provide a long appointment to allow your new puppy or kitten to get to know the clinic and our team. We can answer all of the questions you may have, however silly you feel they may seem! Your puppy or kitten will have a full health check and then we can do your pet’s first vaccines and give them their microchip. We will discuss nutrition and neutering to work out what suits them best.

Our team of skilled vets will guide you through the benefits of neutering and when is the best time to get your pet neutered. Neutering is a routine procedure and our vets have performed hundreds of them so they are more than confident to do them! Your pet will be with us for the day and will be discharged by the end of the day. We will give you all the information needed for you to take care of your pet while recovering from the general anaesthesia and surgery.

Our amazing team of veterinary surgeons are trained to perform a great variety of surgeries including soft tissue abdominal surgery and some orthopaedic surgeries. Our vets work along with an experienced team of qualified nurses who will monitor your pet very closely during their anaesthesia.

In the lucky event that you get to go on holiday abroad with your pet, one of our Official Veterinarians (OV) will provide you with all the necessary documents that you need to go either to the EU or outside the EU.
