There are no set prices for grooming, but a quote can be done prior to booking your dog in, after discussion of your requirements - we like to clip and groom to the owners requests. For example, most terriers requiring clipping to a traditional style are charged around £25.00 and spaniels a little more. Thicker, longer and/or more matted coats will be charged more than a regularly groomed and/or clipped dog and size of dog also relates to price so a Yorkshire terrier will cost a lot less than an Afghan hound! Please feel free to ring (01392 469770) to discuss grooming.
Our laboratory is well equiped with various facilities, machines and instruments, including:
- Haematology Analyser
- Biochemistry Machines
- Microscope
VACCINATIONS
We recommend annual vaccination for dogs, cats and rabbits. Please ask us for advice about what vaccines would be appropriate for your pet.
The Pet Passport Scheme has proved very popular and we ensure micro-chipping and vaccination is carried out as needed.
Located in Pinhoe, the practice is easily accessed from all parts of Exeter and from surrounding areas to the North and East of the city. Designated parking is available on-site at the rear of the building in the spaces marked "3", and on-road parking is possible in Harrington Lane.
