24 Hour Emergency Service
We offer veterinary care around the clock including Christmas and other public holidays.

Hospitalisation
Seriously ill patients, including patients recovering from major surgery, receiving intravenous drips and undergoing certain investigations may require hospitalisation in one of our wards. We provide:

- Purpose built cages in safe, centrally heated hospital areas, providing comfortable and comprehensive in-patient care.

- Facilities for the intensive care of in-patients including blood transfusions and intravenous fluid therapy, sometimes needed for the emergency treatment of heart failure or road accidents.

- Isolation units for infectious cases

Safe Anaesthesia
We understand the natural concerns that arise when a much loved pet has an anaesthetic. Isoflurane and propofol the safest anaesthetics available for veterinary use today are used routinely at Young Veterinary Partnership. These drugs are widely used in human anaesthesia because of their safety record and lack of unpleasant side effects.

Anaesthesia can be further monitored with blood pressure monitors, pulse oximetry to measure the blood haemoglobin saturation with oxygen, and capnography to measure the carbon dioxide levels.

Dental Health Program
Dental care reduces tooth and gum disease, keeping your pets mouth healthy and pain free. It also reduces the chances of mouth infections spreading to heart liver, kidneys or other organs. We perform dentistry with the patient under general anaesthesia, during which we routinely extract, scale and polish dogs and cats teeth. When necessary we are also able to perform more complex dentistry, such as root canal treatments and fillings.

Home Visits
If you would like us to visit your pet at home, we will be happy to oblige. It may be necessary to bring your pet back to the surgery for x-rays and treatments that cannot be provided away from the practice. Please give reasonable notice so that a veterinary surgeon can be made available.

Pet Passports
Pet passports can be arranged for pets travelling to qualifying countries. Your pet will need a rabies vaccination, microchip, and a month later a blood test needs to be performed. The passport can be used to leave the United Kingdom once the blood tests have been satisfactorily approved. However there is a 6 month waiting period after the blood test before the passport can be used to return to the United Kingdom.
Upon return to the U.K., your pet also needs to be treated for tick and tapeworms by a local veterinary surgeon 24-48hrs prior to embarkation.

Please remember also that you may need to take preventative treatment when you travel to protect against, heartworm and other tick, mosquito or sandfly transmitted diseases. Please ask the vet before travelling.
See our links page for further information.

Vaccination and Microchips
All pets are given a full annual health examination prior to vaccination. Body systems are checked thoroughly and recommendations are made to help maintain and improve your pet's quality of life. These checks can help us to detect disease at an early stage, which allows us to take appropriate action before it is too late.
Dogs are routinely vaccinated against distemper, hardpad, hepatitis, leptospirosis and parainfluenza.
Cats may be vaccinated against cat flu and feline infectious enteritis as well as against the dangerous killer feline leukaemia virus.
We offer rabbit vaccinations against myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease.

Microchips are the size of a grain of rice and are placed quickly and easily by injection just under the skin. They can protect against loss or theft and can easily be read by a scanner through the fur.
