Where John's experience really shows

Every vet has things they love. John's are breathing in flat-faced breeds, teeth and bones – so that's where we've invested in training, kit and time.

Flat-faced breeds & BOAS

Snoring isn't “just what they do.” Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and Pugs can suffer from BOAS – a breathing condition that affects how they sleep, eat, play and cope with heat.

John is an approved assessor for the Kennel Club and University of Cambridge's Respiratory Function Grading Scheme – one of a small number of vets trained to grade BOAS. His mentor, veterinary surgeon Tom Bingham, passed on a lifelong soft spot for Bulldogs (and Greyhounds).

RFG Scheme grading – for owners and breeders
BOAS surgery – when grading shows it's needed
Cherry eye surgery – common in brachycephalic breeds

Dentistry

Bad breath is often the first sign of a sore mouth – and pets are experts at hiding it. Animal dentistry is one of John's particular interests, from check-ups to full dental procedures under anaesthetic.

Surgical scale & polishfrom £450

Pet Dental Care

Orthopaedics & surgery

Limping, lumps, hernias and accidents. Orthopaedics is John's other big interest, backed by in-house X-ray and blood testing so we can investigate and operate without sending you elsewhere.

Fertility and Breeding Support

Not just cats and dogs

Plenty of vets turn small furries, birds and farm animals away. We don't – owners travel to us for them, and our resident Amazon parrot, Mango, keeps us on our toes.

Rabbits, rats, birds & reptiles

Rabbit neutering, rat surgery, avian and reptile care – the small patients many practices can't see. Not sure if we can help yours? Just ask.
