Veterinary Services from Grove Lodge

We’re very proud of the comprehensive range of our pet care services. Here’s a brief summary of just a few of the key services provided by Grove Lodge:

24 Hour Emergency Vet Service

Our animal hospital on the Upper Brighton Road is open for emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is always recommended that you telephone before arriving at the hospital. Our emergency helpline number is 01903 234866

Small Animal Referral Services

We can provide specialist expertise, equipment and services for small animals including surgery, cardiology, physiotherapy, ophthalmology and more. We have an exceptionally well equipped hospital and staff who have the specialist skills required to provide the best advice and treatment possible.

Veterinary Pet Care Advisors

Our dedicated veterinary nurses are always happy to provide advice on any pet care related query including diet, parasites and dog training. They carry out a range of routine procedures including claw clipping, worming, dental care and flea control.

Veterinary Ambulance and Delivery Service

To help those who are not able to travel to the hospital we offer a collection and delivery service for all clients living within 20 miles of our animal hospital. A similar service is provided by our Forest Lodge surgery.

Repeat Pet Prescriptions

We provide an online repeat pet prescription facility for the convenience of our customers. Our simple online form enables you to apply for your pet’s repeat prescription, or order pet food, and then pay upon collection.

In addition of course we provide vet surgeries and consultation by appointment from each of our local vet surgeries. We are always striving to improve our pet care services and always welcome suggestions from our valued customers.

Saved by a whisker!

A few weeks ago, Andrew Ash (Grove Lodge partner) and his family came back from their annual holidays in Ireland with an additional member of the family - as pictured right! The children had found a kitten hiding under cars parked around the harbour where they were staying. Andrew reckoned she was only about 4 weeks old. Of course, the children were all for keeping her, but Andrew insisted that someone must be missing her, so he asked around the village and was horrified to learn that the kitten had probably escaped from a litter that went off the harbour with a brick in a bag. That was it! Kitten spent the rest of the holiday living in the bathroom, sleeping in the bidet and travelled home in a washing up bowl!

Kitten is now settling in well to the chaotic life of the Ash family.

Andrew is just recovering from having to pay the first vet¹s bill he¹s had to pay in a long time: he had to go and buy worming and flea treatments for the kitten in Ireland, as these were the only items in an extensive first aid armoury that he didn¹t take with him!

Festive fun at Grove Lodge

OK, so it’s only October, but before we know it, it will be Christmas (it’s only 69 sleeps, 15 hours, 36 minutes and 29 seconds after all!).

With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to have a ‘12 days of Christmas’ page on the Grove Lodge blog during December, so send your Christmassy pet pictures to me at abigail@grovelodgevets.co.uk.
