FAQ's

Q. What does it mean if my pet constantly looks like they are crying?
This can be an indication that their eye is irritated - their eyelashes may be rubbing on the cornea. Wet or 'Blinky' eyes should be taken seriously, as irritations can lead to secondary infections.
No! We are very experienced in a number of eye surgeries, and take care to make all incisions and sutures as close to the eye as possible. In most cases, you won't notice any difference at all. We also find shaving the eye area to be unnecessary, so you won't have to spend any time waiting for the hair to grow back.
Q. Will my pet have to stay overnight?
Your pet can usually return home with you on the day of the surgery - though this is dependant on the extent of the treatment neccessary. However, you'll be happy to learn we don't charge extra for overnight stays!
