Preventative health care
Preventative health care is a huge part of veterinary care and pet ownership. Starting with puppy and kitten vaccination courses, we will advise on vaccines, worming, flea treatment and neutering to ensure your pet has the best start in life. We also offer a monthly preventative health plan to make this easier and more affordable […]
Medicine
With a combination of in-house blood tests, radiography, ultrasonography and CT technology, we are able to work up medical cases to the best of our ability. We also have a group of visiting ultrasonographers, internal medics, oncologists and cardiologists who can come to the practice as required, enabling us to further expand our services. Vet […]
Vaccinations
At Claro Hill we want to ensure that we offer an annual vaccination program that protects your pets and provides full immunity. After the initial vaccination course, many of the core vaccines are administered every third year, with only certain vaccinations given annually. Our core vaccinations for dogs include Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis (L4), Parainfluenza […]
Anaesthesia
Our fully trained, experienced team of nurses are responsible for monitoring patients while under sedation or anaesthetic. They use the latest monitoring equipment to monitor heart rate and rhythm, respiratory rate and pattern, oxygen levels, temperature and blood pressure. Our nurses are passionate about making the anaesthetic journey and procedures as safe and as smooth […]
Diagnostics
We are also extremely proud of our diagnostic facilities; from digital x-ray, to a modern ultrasound machine and a Siemens CT scanner. All of which allow us to diagnose problems quickly and whenever possible give you answers the same day. For more complex conditions, we utilise the expertise of external radiologists at VetOracle who will […]

Neutering
Neutering cats can be performed from 16 weeks to prevent unwanted litters, reduce roaming and reduce the chance of entire males fighting. Spaying (ovariohysterectomy) and castration of dogs will be discussed on an individual basis, depending on the size and breed of your dog and their temperament. Your vet will also be able to advise […]
Senior Pet Clinics
For older patients, we promote senior health checks to ensure your pet has the best quality of life in their later years, to manage pain associated with arthritis and other age-related diseases. Picking up on signs early such as changes in thirst, appetite, demeanour and ability to exercise, can help to detect diseases which can […]
Laboratory
Our in-house lab allows us to perform an array of tests with same day results, ideal to aid in the diagnosis of diseases, for routine monitoring of chronic illnesses and long-term medication use. We also have a regular courier to a highly respected, external laboratory (Idexx, Wetherby) and have the assistance of specialists there on […]
Outpatient CT scans
At Claro Hill, we accept cases on an outpatient basis from other local practices that wish to come for CT imaging only. We would ask your vet to complete a request form specifying the body areas that need to be imaged and the timescale they would like the report back in. The patient will have […]
