From a straightforward consultation and treatment of a simple problem to the facility to hospitalise your animal, Earlswood Veterinary Hospital offers the best care for your pet. We can perform in-house blood tests and go on to x-ray and perform surgery, which can all be done with results obtained within hours and treatment completed within a day or two. For animals that require a prolonged recovery time, eg spinal surgery, we have comfortable kennels, specialised feeding, exercise areas and top level nursing.

Below is a sample of the specialist services we offer:

  • Laboratory

    Blood samples can give a diagnosis within minutes with our in house laboratory. We can arrange for specialised tests in external labs which also give rapid results.

  • Dental Work

    Many dogs suffer bad breath from lack of cleaning. We can sort out your pet's dental problems quickly and efficiently with our specialist equipment.

  • X-Rays and Scanning

    From pneumonia to gut problems, from broken bones to pregnancy, our radiography department give rapid, same-day results. We contrast x-rays to diagnose neurological problems (myelography) and we are the only veterinary practice in Ireland to facilitate a specialist Neurology MRI Unit (VetMRI), in order to diagnose brain and spine injuries.

  • Vet MRI

    This mobile unit inside a 36 wheeler articulated lorry visits the hospital on a monthly basis, allowing brain and spine injuries to be diagnosed and then treated. Practices with problem cases in this area can refer these to us so a pet can be treated using Vet MRI. Please enquire at the hospital for more details including prices and times.

  • Surgery

    Surgery is performed when deemed necessary for the well being of your pet, and is performed safely with extreme care and efficiency. Anaesthetic agents and equipment are state of the art and this is backed up by our extremely skilled veterinary nurses. Besides their routine workload, the surgeons specialise in referral work. See the referrals section for more details. Post operative care is regarded as important as the operation itself, with patients monitored closely in our adjacent recovery room. We also believe in physiotherapy, as demonstrated with our hydrotherapy pool.

  • Hydrotherapy Pool

    Installed in 2002, our hydrotherapy pool has benefitted many patients, from our own and other practices. The warm water and powerjets enhance the recovery of orthapedic and other patients. It also helps obese dogs to lose weight, arthritic dogs to keep mobile and healthy dogs to maintain exercise. Dogs are showered beforehand and blow-dried afterwards.

  • Pet passports

    Our staff can give you a complete package of requirements to allow you to take your pet abroad. This requires a lot of paperwork, microchipping, a rabies vaccination and a blood test. Please contact us for more details.

  • Puppy/kitten/rabbit vaccinations

    Don't forget you must keep your vaccination protections up to date - all clients of ours will be sent reminders.

  • Socialisation classes

    Here at Earlswood Veterinary Hospital we offer free socialisation classes over a four week period for your puppy. Puppies from 7 to 14 weeks gain enormous benefit from these classes, meeting others of the same age and intellect. The nurse will run through important points of rearing a puppy, and this can bring a lifetime of benefits. Classes run for only an hour on Wednesday nights, so take advantage of this free service!
