What we offer

A full introduction with one of our vets
During the 30-minute consultation, your vet will take a detailed history, perform a full nose-to-tail examination, and set out your pet’s health journey. Plus, there’s plenty of time to chat through any current concerns.

Tailored preventative care
We'll discuss your pet's diet, lifestyle and any risk factors, put together an individualised vaccination plan and perform a full risk assessment to advise on parasite prevention.

Dental care
A full mouth examination and a chat about your pet’s dental health, with practical advice on at-home care and any recommendations for treatment.

Blood and urine test
An optional test to take a baseline look at your pet’s health is available at £120.

Our approach
Personal, focused care from the very start
We believe in building a personal relationship with you and your pet, and we don’t rush our first introduction. There’s time to cover existing and new concerns, and look ahead to what good health looks like for them.

A depth of experience



What pet parents are saying
From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, professional, and genuinely caring. The vet took the time to explain everything clearly and made my pup feel totally at ease. You can tell they truly love animals. Highly recommend to any pet owner looking for compassionate, top-notch care!

Otis can be unsure around new people and unfamiliar places, but the team have been so caring, patient and considerate. They've taken the time to get to know him and work at his pace, which is already having a positive impact!

Good to know

Preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control and dental health) is vital for your pet's long-term wellbeing. The IHC is the best place to get all of this in order from the start.
Nobody wants to deal with fleas or worms. We'll talk through your pet's lifestyle and put together a bespoke parasite plan - our Parasite Package is just £10 a month (or £18 for larger dogs) and covers everything they need.
If you're switching from a previous vet, making sure we have your pet's medical history in advance means our team can hit the ground running with their care. Just ask your previous vet to email any records to us.
