We are committed to providing pets with the very best surgical care.
James Grierson our Head of Orthopaedic Surgery leads the team, with many of the clinicians certified by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation as Specialists in Small Animal Surgery. We are one of the few private referral centres in the UK approved to run an ECVS surgical training programme (or residency). Our residents are the equivalent of registrars in a human hospital, and they always work under the supervision of one of the Specialists.

“Extremely professional set up and team. Our lead was calm, informative, direct and proactive in resolving and diagnosing our pet’s symptoms. It became clear that her problems were not neurological, and I was anticipating being given an alternative appointment for the Orthopaedic team. To my relief they reviewed her case on the same day. I was contacted throughout day with updates on the progress of diagnosis and was given accurate estimates of costs of treatments being carried out during the day, which was very helpful. I cannot fault our experience. It was exceptional in every respect.”

12-month Surgical Guarantee
Total hip replacement (THR) is a complex surgery and whilst we can't guarantee that any surgery will be free of complications, we are confident in our ability to perform the surgery. We will treat all complications relating directly to your dog's THR free of charge for the life of your dog provided you return to us annually for re-examination and x-rays to check the status of the implants.
Surgical guarantee terms and conditions
The guarantee is valid for 12 months from the date of the first surgery, renewable yearly following annual re-examination (NB this is chargeable). We reserve the right to remove this guarantee if we do not deem post-operative instructions have been followed with due care and attention.
