We are one of a limited number of vets offering keyhole surgery in the South West.

This type of surgery offers a minimally invasive technique for spaying bitches and for collecting samples from internal organs.  It can also be used to locate undescended testicles.

It greatly reduces post operative discomfort and a quicker return to exercise.  It is extremely popular with both our own clients and those from the surrounding area

We've had great feedback regarding this method of surgery, here's a few words from a client.

'Our 18 month old black Labrador Lexie recently underwent a laparoscopic operation to spay her. We opted for this type of operation despite it being more expensive because she is an active dog and the recovery time is short. We have been both amazed and delighted.

She was a bit sleepy on the day of the operation then woke the next day as if nothing had happened!

She had only 2 small wounds which healed beautifully.

The follow up and post-operative support we received was excellent. The only problem we had was trying to stop her from bounding around!

I would highly recommend this to anyone considering spaying their dog! It was definitely worth the extra cost to see her recover so well.
