The state-of-the-art hospital provides 24/7 veterinary care, supported by a dedicated night team.

The imaging team is at the heart of the hospital and works collaboratively with every department. There is excellent interaction between all the various disciplines and therefore an exceptional level of intellectual stimulation and discussion over all specialties with a friendly and dedicated referral team.
