Small Animal Vets Stratford-upon-Avon
Here at the Riverside Veterinary Centre our team of small animal vets provide your pets with the care they require. All our services are carried out to the highest standards by our qualified team of small animal vets ensuring your pets receive the care and attention they need. Operating from Stratford-upon-Avon and serving pet owners from Warwick and Warwickshire.
As part of our duty to care for all our client's pets at Riverside Veterinary Centre we undertake a health check of all cats and dogs on an annual basis. This allows us to best advise you on potential problems, especially as pets move from one age group to another.
Our clients find this service of enormous value as it allows you to plan for future health needs. Reminders are automatically sent when your pet is due for a check up.
So often, as a new owner of a new puppy or kitten, health care advice can be very confusing, and sometimes contradictory.
Rather than wait for the start of a vaccination course to seek veterinary advice we offer to all newly registered puppies and kittens, a free health check as soon as you acquire them.
Getting sound advice at this stage from the health professionals can pay dividends in those first few weeks.
In-House Diagnostic Laboratory
In any modern Veterinary Centre the need for a quick turn around in blood results is essential when dealing with poorly animals. At Riverside Veterinary Centre the diagnostic laboratory facilities are of the highest quality with trained staff ensuring that results are processed quickly and efficiently.
When worrying things have happened to their pets our clients find the speed of service and the results, which are quickly reported and discussed, to be an immense comfort.
With the expansion in facilities in 2005 the Veterinary Centre doubled the operating rooms available.
This also allowed us the benefit of a visiting orthopaedic surgeon to undertake specialist work in this expanded part of the Veterinary Centre.
Clients value this service as it enables surgery to be undertaken here at Riverside Veterinary Centre rather than having to travel to a specialist site.
Hospitalisation
Facilities
Alongside the high quality operating facilities at Riverside Veterinary Centre the recovery ward is a temperature regulated area within a quiet section of the building adjacent to the operating rooms.
The patients are constantly monitored by the nursing team. This allows pets the best opportunity to recuperate following their operation.
Geriatric Health Care
With an ever aging pet population it is so important not to ignore their needs. At Riverside Veterinary Centre there is a special focus on the older members of our client's pets.
We undertake 6 monthly health reviews when a cat or dog enters their twilight years and help and advice is focused on the specific needs of this age group of pet. So often, small changes to care at this stage can have an immense benefit on the ongoing health of a faithful friend.
Nurse-Run Diet and Dental Clinics
We are very fortunate at Riverside Veterinary Centre in having an immense depth of skill and experience in our veterinary nursing team.
Members of the team run their own nurse-led clinics at the Veterinary Centre in a dedicated nurse clinic consultation room.
These clinics run alongside the normal consultations at the Veterinary Centre and are a huge benefit in allowing regular monitoring of a pet’s condition that can help the veterinary surgeons in their work.
Pet Insurance Consultancy Service
All staff are trained in pet insurance to offer clients advice where applicable. Sally Harrison has made this her speciality - recognised in the 2007 UK Veterinary Awards by being made 'Pet Insurance Advisor of the year'.
Many clients have benefited over the years from Sally’s dedication in efficiently processing insurance claims as part of our service.
If your pet is insured then we ask that the account is settled and then we will assist you in making the claim to the insurance company.
