Dog Ward

In addition to our purpose built walk-in kennel, there are two banks of dedicated stainless-steel kennels. These are designed for efficient cleansing and hygiene between patients. Each kennel has warm, hygienic soft bedding. These are laundered using our dedicated industrial cleaning machine between patients to minimize any infection transfer risks. The kennels are individually heated with thermostatically controlled units built into the floors. Sound deadening is built into the kennel structure to help decrease stress. Some of the kennels are equipped with an oxygen tent. This allows pre-oxygenation of high-risk patients prior to anaesthesia, it can also assist recovery of patients. Preoxygenation is also always used when anaesthetising “small furries”, rabbits etc. The large “walk-in” kennel includes a shower facility for any patient that needs a wash & brush up. In addition to close supervision by the nursing staff, CCTV is also available for patient monitoring.
