Hospitalisation - Sick and Boarding

If your pet is very ill, or has to come to us for an operation, then you will want to be sure that they are receiving the best possible care while they are with us. We will always try to get your pet back home as soon as possible, but there will be occasions when they are just too poorly or their medication, eg if they are on a drip, means they have to stay at the hospital.

At Vale Vets, we are able to offer all our patients a modern veterinary hospital with nurses in residence around the clock and our own vets on hand should they be needed. We have separate wards for cats and for dogs, as we believe this much more relaxing for both species.

Our large walk in kennels allow us to make our in-patients as comfortable as possible and, if they are able to walk about, our nurses will take them out into the grounds for regular exercise. You are able to visit your pet if you wish, although this can sometimes be unsettling if they are not ready to go home with you.

As such we offer boarding facilities for cats that need that little extra care and medication whilst owners are away. Your cat will be cared for by one of our team of nurses enabling any medication to given and careful medical monitoring with instant veterinary care available should this become necessary.

Please feel free to contact the surgery to discuss either planned absences or emergency situations.
