We aim to provide the highest standard of personal caring service.

We aim to maintain the highest level of up-to-date expertise and adopt a personal, professional and progressive approach.

We provide our own out-of-hours care so that you won't have to travel a long way to see a stranger when your pet is in trouble.

About us

We attach great importance to a personal relationship with our clients and their animals.  Whether in reception or the examination room, you will always feel you are in good hands.

We prefer to offer our own Out of Hours Service so that our clients will see a familiar face in an emergency.

Our services

From diagnosis to therapy: This is where you can find out all about the services we can provide for you.

All our Veterinary Surgeons undertake regular training to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in surgery and medicine.

Look at our services

We have been running a Healthcare Plan for dogs, cats and rabbits for several years now to provide the highest quality care, to allow monthly budgeting and to save money! 

The prices have remained the same since 2014 but will have to increase in May.  We are changing the plan administrator to keep the increase as small as possible.

The scheme remains fabulous value for money and allows savings of 25% on routine vaccination, flea and worm treatment as well as giving additional 10% discounts on a wide range of services.

Babesiosis

Tick season is upon us early this year with many dogs and cats already appearing at the surgery with tick burdens.

We have the extra concern regarding the appearance of the European Brown Tick on our shores since the relaxation of tick treatments on the Pet Healthscheme and now the appearance of Babesiosis.

Please ask at the Surgery about tick prevention for your pets.  It is becoming more important than ever.  Do not trust the non-prescription tick preventatives which can be singularly ineffective!

Kennel Cough

We have seen an increased incidence of infectious tracheobronchitis in Shipston and Moreton during the mild winter of 2016/7.  We recommend that dogs coming into contact with many other dogs should be vaccinated.  The vaccine is simply squirted up the nostril and can give protection within three days.

Please contact the surgery for an appointment

If your dog is already coughing, please inform the surgery as to minimise contagion, we examine suspicious cases away from the waiting room.  Although the immune system can usually deal with the infection, we do recommend these cases have treatment to minimise chronic damage to the respiratory system.

Leptospirosis

If your dog loves swimming, you need to be concerned about Leptospirosis or Weil's Disease.  This can be picked up from water, from rats and from infected dogs and causes very serious liver and kidney damage which can be fatal.

We have always recommended vaccination against Leptospirosis and as this disease is important in our area, we are now using the newest "Lepto 4" vaccines routinely for all puppy initial inoculations and for all adult dogs.  If your dog is a great swimmer, drinks from puddles, loves exploring ditches on farmland or all of the above, we strongly recommend you have two Lepto 4 inoculations 4 weeks apart in the first year, and then an annual booster as usual.  Congratulations if your pet is already protected!

Please make sure all your canine friends are protected!

As recommended by Cats Protection, we are pleased to offer neutering of male and female cats from 4 months of age.  Please contact the surgery to discuss this and to arrange an appointment.
