Walton Lodge Use The Best Products To Treat Your Pets:
We use the best vaccinations, medicines, pain-relief, anaesthetics and equipment to treat your pets.
Preventative Health Care:
We believe in preventative health care and as such advise that you keep your pet up-to date with annual vaccinations, worming and flea control. We recommend that you feed a good quality food designed for the species and age of your pet.
Surgical Cases:
We recommend a pre-operative blood test to check all the major organs are functioning efficiently prior to administering an anaesthetic, especially for pets of 7 years old or above. This minimises any risks to your pet.
We routinely give pain-relief prior to surgery, to ensure your pet has pain-relief prior to an operation, which lasts 24 hours post surgery. We routinely use Gold Standard anaesthetics, with patient monitoring by trained Veterinary Nurses throughout your pet's operation. This ensures smooth inductions and rapid recovery times so your pet comes home bright and alert. There are minimal side-effects which cause you and your pet less stress.
We routinely use the highest standard of sterility, including sterile glves, gowns, masks, and hats.
We also routinely use intravenous catheters to enable the emergency administration of medication if necessary.
Neutering:
We recommend neutering your pets, unless you intend to breed from them. This prevents roaming, which can lead to fights and road accidnets and prevents illnesses later in life.
Insurance:
We advise that you have your pet insured to give you peace of mind in the knowledge that if your pet needs treatment you can afford to give your pet the best without worrying about the costs involved. We recommend that you take out life-time insurance, in case you pet develops a long-term illness such as Diabetes, Arthritis or Heart problems. This will ensure that your pet is insured for life not just for 1 year as with cheaper policies.
