Dentistry

Dentistry is commonly needed as cats and dogs get older. Prices start from £86, and include advice on preventative care to avoid unnecessary dentistry in the future.

Endoscopy

As with ultrasound, endoscopy helps us to diagnose issues without painful surgery. Recently we retrieved a cocktail stick from a greedy Labrador's stomach before it caused a blockage, and the dog was home in time for tea with no ill effects.

Laboratory tests

Having our own full laboratory means quicker results for anxious owners, and for most tests reduces our reliance on the postal service.

Nursing clinics

Our friendly team of nurses operate clinics daily. Some services such as weight counselling and suture removals are free, other services such as nail clipping incur a small fee, typically £6.00

Surgery

With the exception of top-end eye and spinal surgery, we have the equipment and expertise to do most surgeries on site without the need for referral. We remove tumours from awkward areas, repair fractures etc on a regular basis.

Xray and ultrasound

We pride ourselves on having some of the most up to date equipment and expertise in the area. In particular, ultrasound can help avoid unnecessary operations where an animal's ailment cannot be diagnosed by other means.

Services at Idle Veterinary Centre

Most routine procedures can be done here: neutering, minor operations, dentistry, blood tests etc. Major cases requiring detailed investigations and animals requiring hospitalisation are usually sent to Shipley Veterinary Centre, less than 3 miles away.
