Microchip Implants

Microchips are a valuable aid in the attempt to reunite lost or stolen pets with their owners. Microchips are small glass beads approximately the size of a grain of rice that have a chip inside. Each microchip has unique identification number. Microchips are implanted under your pet's skin by means of a simple injection. This can be easily done during a consultation.

Pet Passports

Dogs and cats traveling abroad to selected countries can return to the UK without spending 6 months in quarantine if they travel in accordance with the Pet Travel Scheme (Pet Passport). In addition to having a microchip implanted, dogs and cats must be vaccinated for rabies at least 6 months before they re-enter the UK and have a blood test taken to prove that the vaccine has worked. We can provide the complete package of services required to provide your dog or cat with a pet passport. Further information can be found here on our Pet Passports page or in the pet travel scheme leaflet

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions are available to our clients at reception, 24 hr advance telephone notice would be appreciated by the nurses so that your medications can be made up in advance and avoid unnecessary delay.

Animal Behaviour Consultants

It is a sad fact that many animals are re-homed or even put to sleep due to behavioral problems. Early advice and intervention in most cases can often help. Our qualified animal nurses at the Mona, Bangor and Menai Bridge surgeries would be happy to discus and problems you may have. We also provide behavioral consults if required. For further information please contact Bangor Surgery.

Diagnostics Facilities

The most important diagnostic tool we possess is the experience of our team of our veterinary surgeons. In many cases, this experience alone is sufficient to diagnose your pet's problem and recommend a suitable course of treatment. In more complex cases our veterinary surgeons have a large range of modern diagnostic techniques and equipment at their disposal.

Our diagnostic facilities include:

•  X-ray with the plates developed on-site
• Ultrasound 
• Endoscope
• Laboratory for the testing of blood and urine samples

Surgical Facilities

Our absolute aim is that the anesthetic should be as safe as possible for your pet. Whilst anaesthetised, your pet will be continuously monitored by a vet or one of our nursing staff. All pets receive pain relief for the immediate post surgical period and for longer if required. Pets usually go home on the same day.

Our diagnostic facilities include:

Fully equip operation theatres 

Gas anaesthetic systems

Isoflurane and Propofol anaesthetics routinely used 

Orthopaedic equipment 

Anaesthetic monitoring equipment

Most surgical cases and investigations are treated as "Day Patients" so that they can return home the same day, although we have full hospitalisation facilities for all the species we treat to stay overnight to keep them warm, comfortable and safe. All of our patients are monitored throughout their surgery by the vet and also a member of our nursing staff, who will continue to monitor your pet until discharge.

Specialist Referral Centres

The group has full surgical facilities and carries out the majority of procedures on the premises. We will, however, refer cases to local specialist centres when required e.g. spinal or cataract surgery. Where necessary we are happy to refer cases to specialist referral centres for more advanced treatments and we have good working relationships with a number of such centres.

Dentistry

Dental problems in pets are much more than just a cause of bad breath. Lack of dental hygiene is a preventable cause of pain and illness in pets. The bacteria living in the tartar on a dog or cat's teeth cause periodontal disease and weakening the teeth roots. The bacteria are also in constant battle with your pet's immune system. The long term effects of this battle can lead to damage to your pet's internal organs - especially the heart and kidneys. Rabbits and guinea-pigs often have problems associated with overgrown or deformed teeth. These can lead to difficulty in eating and abscesses.

We provide:

• Routine dental checks 
• Advice on preventative dental care (brushing & specialist diets) 
• Routine trimming of rabbit's and guinea-pig's teeth 
• Ultrasonic removal of the dental calculus that builds up on your pet's teeth 
• Polishing after the removal of calculus to slow the build-up in the future 
• Extraction of teeth that have severe periodontal disease or cavities that are beyond repair

Euthanasia & Cremation Services

Regardless of the circumstances euthanasia is almost always a difficult subject to contemplate. However, if you are well aware in advance of the options available and the costs involved, you will be better able to make the correct decision for you and your pet when this choice has to be faced. 

Unless it is an emergency situation you can decide on the location for euthanasia. 

At the surgery - we will use a separate consulting room and you will not feel at all rushed during this difficult time. You will be asked to sign a consent form to state your wishes regarding euthanasia and possible cremation. Your pet will be handled sympathetically by experienced staff. The vein will be exposed by clipping away some hair on the leg and then a concentrated anaesthetic will be injected. You can stay with your pet as long as you wish afterwards. 

At home - This will involve the least disturbance to your pet as it will remain in familiar surroundings but it is not always a feasible option. Many pets are more easily handled at the surgery where everything is to hand including experienced staff. Euthanasia at home is also a more expensive option as it incurs a visit fee.

 Many owners are not sure whether they should remain with their pet during the procedure - it can be a very distressing time. This decision can only be made by the individual. It is important to ensure that the welfare of your pet always comes first. Some people wish to take their pets home and bury them in the garden, but for some this is not an option. Cremation or burial is provided by the pet funeral services, (details available at www.petfuneralservices.co.uk) who are an excellent company and if the owner wants the ashes back then an individual cremation is guaranteed.

 Or 

We can arrange cremation after your pet has been put to sleep, or you may wish to bury your pet at home. Please discuss these options with the staff.
