Vaccinations
Having your pet vaccinated protects them against the most common infectious, and potentially fatal, diseases. By bringing your pet for an annual health check and vaccination you are giving them the best quality of life and protecting others, as you are reducing the chance of any outbreaks of infectious diseases.
During the vaccination consultation your pet will be thoroughly examined by the vet and any concerns you may have can be discussed.
Microchipping
Since 6th April 2016 it is now compulsory by law for all dogs to be microchipped, this must happen before the dog is 8 weeks old otherwise you could be liable for up to £500 fine.
A microchip is the most common and easiest way of identifying your pet should they become lost or stolen. The chip is about as small as a grain of rice and is inserted just under the skin, it’s very likely that your pet won’t even feel it.
If your pet is ever lost or stolen they can be quickly scanned by any vet or animal rescue centre. Your details will be found on the database and you will receive a phone call to be reunited with your pet.

To be able to immigrate with your pet, depending on which country you are going to, this needs to be well organised, sometimes 8 months in advance. It is best to discuss your particular requirements with your vet.

When it comes to the health of your pet we know that you want to find a veterinary practice that offers unrivalled care; after all, your pet is one of the family. You want to know that they will be seen by experienced vets using the most up-to-date facilities, in an environment that is comfortable and as stress free as possible…
Alistair the vet himself is so knowledge, focus, dedicated, sharp & clued on to his work as well as being so friendly, pleasant, understanding, reassuring and lastly so patient with a nervous wreck like me cause when it comes to my animals …… I’m a thousand questions!
Fantastic vet practice! Always feel confident leaving my pets (children), with them. Mark is lovely and makes a huge fuss of my cat in particular who can be quite nervous and not the easiest of patients I’m sure! Highly recommended.
Always a pleasure visiting Uxbridge Vets. From the ease of booking an appointment online, to the friendliness of both Alistair & Mark, it always makes what may feel like a stressful time (for both pooch and owner) a nice and easy experience. I always recommend to both my family and friends.

I qualified in January 1998, and have been lucky enough to enjoy a rich and rewarding career in local veterinary practices, before joining the Uxbridge Vets team in October 2020.
I am also mum to three teenage children and, when I have time, love to read, swim and go for lovely long walks with Frank the Miniature Dachshund.
I have now been working in veterinary care for 11 years and wouldn’t change it for the world. Seeing the animals you care for get better after being unwell, is such a rewarding feeling.
Qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse in 1999, Mark has enjoyed a distinguished career focusing on the wellbeing of all animals. Mark particularly enjoys guiding and advising animal owners and our team to ensure the animals under our care receive the best possible treatment.
Debi has always had a love for all animals and has a particular interest in animal behaviour and nutrition.
