Premises and Equipment.

We believe that the talent and compassion of staff are the foundation of a good clinic.  We also believe that continued investment in modern medical technology brings benefit to both your pet and your pocket. The facilities at Dr. Hugh’s Veterinary Hospital are what you would expect from a modern veterinary clinic, with priority on comfort, welfare and the scientific diagnosis and treatment of the patients under our care. Facilities include:-

1. Custom built consulting rooms with sterilisable surfaces
2. Separate species wards to reduce hospitalization stress.
3. Isolation facilities.
4. A dedicated surgical suite with modern anaesthetic machines and patient monitoring equipment.
5. Autoclave and ultrasonic instrument cleaners to help ensure the sterility of our surgical procedures.
6. A wide range of in-house laboratory diagnostic facilities, including blood cell counts, biochemistry and electrolytes assays, viral and parasite tests, urinalysis, faecal examination and skin tests.
7. In-house x-ray and environmentally friendly digital x-ray processing.
8. High- end ultrasound for abdominal and cardiac imaging.

We also coordinate with registered surgery, medicine, opthamology and exotic animal specialists, dedicated behaviour and physiotherapy practitioners, 24-hr care facilities and outside laboratories to ensure that your pets receive the best and most comprehensive level of care available.
