OUR HOSPITAL

We like to reduce stress for both yourself and your pet wherever possible, this is why we support and are a gold standard cat friendly practice. You’ll find directions to our cat and dog waiting areas on your arrival.

Our state of the art consultation rooms are spacious and welcoming, with brightly coloured walls and on screen technology. This allows our veterinary surgeons to show images on screen for your interest.

There are seventeen kennels including one walk-in. Fourteen have smoked glass doors. The reason for glass is the ease of keeping sterile and the smoked effect reduces the stress felt by the pet when recovering from surgery. The walk-in kennel is for our larger dogs and for long term in patients to exercise indoors.

The table is a stainless steel table that can be adjusted to for a “V” and tilted to various angles. This allows the best positioning for the patient for the surgeon to more easily perform the surgery. All operations are monitored for oxygen level, heart and respiratory rate, temperature and carbon dioxide level. There is a viewer in the theatre to allow X Ray, MRI and any others images pertinent to the surgery to be displayed to the surgeon. Above the table on the operating light is a CCTV camera that records on the general CCTV system. Whilst the operations are recorded, they can also be viewed live from anywhere in the world by our senior vet, Richard Weston. Through this facility, he is able to advise and, if necessary, guide a surgeon through complex proceedures.

The pond was build in 1996 when there was a pet shop on the site. The soothing and calming nature of the fish and waterfall water noise meant that it was retained in the waiting room to make clients wait before consultations more relaxing. The biggest Koi in the pond is the original occupant being now 20 years old. Many of the others have been donated by clients whose fish have outgrown their own environments.

Following the modernisation of our new imaging suite, we have upgraded to state of the art x-ray machine and dental x-ray, with digital developing, and colour doplar ulstrasonography. The internet connectivity means the images can be reported on by European Diplomat imagining specialists to ensure no subtle changes in anatomy are missed. Our senior vet, Richard Weston spends more time out of the country these days, but through Internet connectivity, he is still able to view these images and reports and plan treatments with our experienced vets on site.

Statistics show that a vast proportion of pet owners will visit the vets by car. We have just refurbished and expanded our car park for the benefit of our clients. We have room for ten clients at any one point in time. If a client cannot find a space then they should let the staff know so they can check that only clients of Anrich are using the car park

Our academy lecture theatre is laid out to seat 20 staff or students. Most of the time our grooming school of up to ten students in a course is using the education room but it is used by the practice as well in our constant staff training program to ensure staff are always well trained and up to date with the latest information on treatments and products. Along with the computer and other technologies to assist in training, there is an extensive library of books and periodicals that keep staff and students alike well informed.
