Small animals
The small animal department aims to cater for all companion animals, whether they be dogs, cats, rabbits or rats!
Facilities and Diagnostics
North Tawton is a well-equipped and modern practice where most of our small animal work is centered. As well as excellent consulting, operating, minor proceedure and hospitalisation facilities we will find a friendly, caring and compassionate companion animal team.
As well our main surgery we have branch surgeries in Hatherleigh and Okehampton, which provide convenient places for our clients to seek veterinary advice. The Okehampton branch performs routine operations such as neutering, lump removals and dentals.
Whether your pet is in for routine surgery such as neutering or a life-saving operation, they will get the best surgical care in excellent operating facilities. 
Our qualified and student veterinary nurses are one of our greatest resources. As well as being trained anaesthetists, they provide good quality  care for your pets when hospitalised and they are adept at a variety of procedures.They are an excellent source of advice (How do you give a cat a pill?!). We are a registered Veterinary Nursing training practice.
Radiography (X-ray) is an invaluable tool in the investigation of many small animal diseases. It allows us to assess both bones and internal organs. We are to have a good x-ray machine and automatic developer helping us to get a diagnosis quickly and accurately where appropriate.  
We have our own well equipped laboratory, enabling us to have same day results for many tests. This is particulary useful in emergency or critical care cases where time may be vital.
Ultrasound is used to assess your pet's internal organs in a very different way to X-ray, complimenting it well in the investigation of internal disease (or for determining pregnancy!). We have a modern ultrasound machine with designated small animal transducer.
Dental disease is extremely common in dogs and cats and sometimes a scale, polish and extraction of any diseased teeth is necessary. We have a dental machine that allows ultrasonic scaling and mechanised polishing of teeth, identical to the ones used by our own dentists, to aid in dental extraction and a wide variety of dental tools and instuments for all dental needs.
