This is where our team prepares patients before they enter theatre—whether it's for a routine neutering, a dental procedure, or a more complex surgery. In the prep area, pets are carefully monitored as they’re anaesthetised, clipped, cleaned, and made ready for their procedure.

Having these diagnostic tools on-site means we can rapidly assess your pet’s condition, begin treatment sooner, and monitor ongoing health more effectively.

Our trained veterinary team uses the lab daily to run pre-anaesthetic blood tests, monitor chronic conditions, and detect signs of infection, organ issues, or underlying disease. When more specialised testing is needed, we also work closely with trusted external laboratories.
