Surgery Facilities and Services

Teaching is at the heart of the practice, and our final year students are involved in the majority of our consultations and procedures. They are always supervised by our team of qualified Veterinary Surgeons and Registered Veterinary Nurses, and all consultations are overseen by a qualified member of staff.

To register as a client at the practice, give us a call on 0151 794 5969 to speak to our friendly reception team, or email us at uolvet@liverpool.ac.uk

Consultations and clinics are carried out in our large and spacious consulting rooms, with the back-up of the rest of our facilities if your pet needs further investigations.

  • Vet consultations are available 6 days a week by appointment
  • Exotic pet service including surgery, preventative health care and medical investigations
  • Preventative care services, including vaccinations, worming, and flea control
  • Nurse clinics including nail clipping, parasite control and weight management
  • Microchipping
  • New litter checks for puppies and kittens
  • Ophthalmic examinations, including pressure measurement (tonometry).

Our dedicated surgery suite was designed and built to the highest standards. Our recovery unit ensures your pet is carefully monitored in the post-operative period, and ensures their stay is as comfortable as possible. We use advanced monitoring equipment on all our anaesthetic patients, and work hard to ensure our patients receive the highest standard of care

  • Neutering
  • Soft tissue surgery, both elective and emergency procedures
  • Orthopedic surgeries
  • Dental care and treatments in our dental suite, including dental x-rays

For patients needing to be hospitalised, we have separate wards available for different species, and large, spacious kennels are available for patients of all sizes, including double-sized kennels for giant breed dogs. For our inpatients, we can offer:

  • Medical investigations (X-rays, ultrasound, ECG, blood pressure monitoring)
  • Blood tests, including biochemistry, haematology, electrolytes, and thyroid, are performed in our in-house laboratory, allowing rapid results
  • Urine analysis
  • Skin sample analysis
  • An external laboratory for more complex investigations and tests

Our out-of-hours cover is provided by Vets Now in Huyton. This means that their dedicated team is available overnight, and our vets can be alert and awake each day to look after your pets. If your pet needs hospitalisation overnight, we will transfer their care to Vets Now, and if it appears that your pet may need a longer stay in hospital, we can offer referral to a suitable 24-hour facility.
