Bransgore Vets - Facilities

We are situated opposite the Alliance Pharmacy sharing excellent parking facilities with Twin Oaks Medical Centre with plenty of space for turning. There is also a pleasant garden which you are free to use to relieve your dog – please ask for a poo bag if you don’t have one, the practice nurse will dispose of this for you.

In the porch area we have weighing scales for dogs; these may be used by clients any time we are open to keep an eye on your dog's weight. Please let us record this for you on your pet's record. Here you will also find a notice board and local dog and cat charity displays.

There is a comfortable and welcoming reception area for you and your pets with a small sales display and a Hills pet food stand. The food displayed is a small selection of the many high quality diets available, so please let us know if you wish to order a specific diet for your pet. Orders are generally with us within 24hrs.

Our spacious consulting room is where our main medical and diagnostic facilities are held. This room has double doors to hinder any animal trying to escape and allow our experienced veterinary nurse to enter the room if required. There is a laptop computer for the vet, linked to the main computer in reception giving access to all client records as required. We have a Tracer identification microchip implanter and scanner – recommended for identification against loss or theft of your pet and compulsory for animals taking part in the Pet Travel Scheme. As a Local Veterinary Inspector the vet can guide you through all the requirements of this scheme and issue Pet Passports. For more information call the PETS Helpline 0870 241 1710 (Monday to Friday – 08.30 to 1700) or go on-line to www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm

We have excellent warm and comfortable kennel facilities, with strict protocols in place for the isolation of infectious diseases. The patients are cared for by a Qualified RVN (Registered Veterinary Nurse), who is highly skilled and competent in all aspects of inpatient care.

For those of you who remember this as a Dental practice it will come as no surprise to learn that we have extensive dental equipment including a hi speed drill, low speed drill, ultra-sonic scalers, polishers and a range of elevators. This allows us to undertake all routine dental work your pet may need.

The theatre suite has an operating table for sterile procedures and x-ray equipment for diagnostic radiographs. Our anaesthetic machine houses an up to date vaporiser and circuitry allowing us to anaesthetise a range of patients from small rodents to giant breed dogs.
