Pocket pets

OUR APPROACH

Big love for small pets

They may be small, but they still need just as much love and attention. 

Regardless of if you have a rabbit, guinea pig, mouse, bird, turtle or any other critter, we provide them with the same standard of healthcare as any patient we see. 

Whether you need care advice for your bird or rabbit, guinea pig nutritional advice or tips for turtle housing, our team are more than happy to help.

Our vets are passionate about all creatures and are here for preventative as well as emergency treatment. We offer routine health checks, desexing, rabbit vaccinations and dentistry services so your pocket pet stays strong and healthy. 

We look forward to seeing you and your little friend soon.
