🐾 Fear-free certified practice

Happy pets,
calmer humans.

A veterinary hospital built around how animals actually feel about vets. Separate cat and dog waiting areas, non-slip floors, treats before needles — and a surgical suite that would not look out of place in a human hospital.

🩺 What we do

Everything under one (very well insulated) roof

No referring you across town for an X-ray. Diagnostics, surgery, dentistry and rehab all happen in this building, usually on the same day.

🏥

Emergency & critical care

A vet and two nurses on site every hour of every day, with oxygen kennels and in-house blood gas.

🔬

In-house diagnostics

Digital radiography, ultrasound and a full lab. Most results are back before you have finished your coffee.

⚕️

Soft tissue & orthopaedic surgery

Dedicated sterile theatre, multimodal pain control and a nurse who calls you the evening after.

🦷

Dentistry

Full-mouth dental radiographs on every procedure — because half of dental disease hides below the gum.

💉

Preventive care

Vaccination, parasite control, microchipping and weight clinics on a plan that spreads the cost.

🐕‍🦺

Rehab & physiotherapy

Underwater treadmill, laser therapy and post-op programmes for dogs recovering from orthopaedic work.

🐈 Who we treat

Different species, different rooms

Dog being examined

Dogs

From eight-week puppy checks to senior mobility clinics. Our dog wing has non-slip flooring, weight-bearing gait analysis and a separate entrance so nervous dogs never meet a waiting room full of cats.

  • Puppy course & socialisation classes
  • Orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation
  • Senior wellness screening twice yearly
Cat at the veterinary clinic

Cats

A Cat Friendly certified wing with pheromone diffusers, elevated kennels and a waiting area cats cannot see or hear a dog from. Consults are unhurried because rushing a cat never ends well.

  • Silent, dog-free entrance and ward
  • Hyperthyroid and kidney screening
  • Home-visit option for very stressed cats
Rabbit at the vet

Rabbits, guinea pigs & ferrets

Small mammals need vets who see them often. Two of our team hold advanced certificates in exotic companion mammal medicine and run dedicated clinics three days a week.

  • Dental burring under gas anaesthesia
  • Neutering and gut-stasis emergencies
  • Diet and husbandry consultations
Parrot

Birds & reptiles

Species-appropriate handling, endoscopy for avian patients and a reptile room held at the right temperature and humidity — not a spare consult room with a heat lamp.

  • Avian endoscopy and DNA sexing
  • Reptile husbandry and UV audits
  • Referral-level exotic anaesthesia

What people say afterwards

★★★★★
Our cat has hated every vet she has ever met. She walked out of Pawsitive without a single hiss. I genuinely do not know how they did it.
Delia F.Owner of Marmalade, 11
★★★★★
Brought our dog in at 2am with bloat. In theatre within twenty minutes. He turned nine last week because of that team.
Warren B.Owner of Biscuit, 9
★★★★★
They found a vet who actually knows rabbits. After three practices telling me "we can have a look", that is worth the drive.
Suki N.Owner of Pepper & Nutmeg
★★★★★
The estimate they gave me was the number I paid. Every line explained before they did it. That is rarer than it should be.
Ines P.Owner of Cobweb, 6
