Cat & Dog Waiting Areas

We have 2 separate cat and dog waiting areas in our reception area.

This helps to keep anxiety in our pets at the lowest possible and to keep them as comfortable as possible during their visit to the practice.

  • This is a very important part of us providing the best care to our pets and ensuring they have the best visit possible to the practice.

Kennels

Our Kennels

All kennels are well insulated, continually monitored and have thermostatically controlled heating facilities. We have added to our existing kennels with another unit which incorporates an oxygen therapy unit. Our oxygen supply can be accessed in our kennels which enables us to provide emergency oxygen therapy to our patients when required.

  • Walk-in Kennels

    We have installed a new walk in kennel which is closed off from the main kennel area. It enables us to have a separate isolation kennel and is ideal for our larger canine patients.

Prep Room

Gower Vets Cat and Dog Waiting Areas

This is the main area for pre-surgical preparation and assessment and also accommodates a state-of-the-art dental facility.

We now have much more space to store all of our operating instruments that we use to perform specialised surgery. 

  • This room is important as we try and make it as comfortable as possible before your pet is sent in for surgery or for further assessment.

Laboratory

State of the Art Diagnostic Facilities

This is where we have installed our new state of the art diagnostic facilities. We are able to perform most of our diagnostic tests in house, thus reducing waiting times for results.  Our new laboratory equipment is linked to our computer system which enables the results of any test performed, both in house and external, to be automatically transferred on to the patient’s clinical records. 

  • Our new equipment includes a blood gas and electrolyte analyser, blood clotting, biochemistry and haematology. We are also able to analyse urine samples, faeces, blood and tissue smears.

Operation Theatre

Hygienic Vet Operations

Our operating room is designed to maintain hygiene and allow ease of access to our diagnostic equipment. We have hospital lighting and the walls are lined to prevent cross-contamination.

This area has restricted access to prevent external contamination and is separated from the prep area with an automatic glass door.

  • There is sufficient space for three veterinary surgeons to operate at any one time. This will create more flexibility for our clients on operating appointments.
