Services to check when you call

We don't hold a verified service list for every practice, so use this as a checklist of questions to ask. Most UK first-opinion vets offer the core services below, but availability varies — always confirm:

  • Consultations, health checks & vaccinations
  • Neutering and routine surgery
  • Dental treatment
  • Diagnostics (bloods, x-ray, ultrasound)
  • Microchipping
  • Out-of-hours / emergency cover
  • Exotics & small-pet care

Pets treated

Most first-opinion practices see dogs and cats, and many also treat rabbits and small pets. Expertise with exotics (reptiles, birds, ferrets) varies a lot between vets, so if you keep an unusual species, ask Dovecote Veterinary Hospital before booking. Our food-safety checker covers dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters.
