Please note that pet appointments must be booked separately. We recommend to allow at least one week between your appointments and those of your pets. Not all household members must come at the same time. You can also arrange individual appointments for each household member - it is not necessary for everyone to turn up at the same time. Children under the age of 14 may only attend an appointment if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Thank you for your understanding.
