Alistair Poole Veterinary Surgery, Harpenden

The Surgery

Reception is open from 9:00 am Monday to Saturday, so please feel free to pop in for advice from our helpful, qualified nursing staff.

Our facilities include a preparation room, dedicated operating theatre, recovery room and in-patient facilities.

Reception Area

You will usually be greeted by Lisa who will help you complete any paperwork.

We also supply a range of products, including pet food, flea treatments and wormers.

Consulting Room

We will examine your pet and advise you of the nature and costs involved in any investigations and treatments.

Some procedures (e.g. microchips) and all vaccinations are done during routine consultations.

The 'Kennels'

If your pet needs an operation, they will have their own 'kennel' during their visit.

Rest assured, we look after all pets as if they were our own. We use modern, gold-standard anaesthetic drugs to minimise anaesthetic risks and to ensure your pet recovers as quickly as possible.

Operating Theatre

Our surgical suite allows us to carry out complex and life-saving operations, as well as routine procedures.

Our equipment includes x-ray facilities, ultrasound, ECG, blood pressure monitoring, laboratory analysis of blood samples, urine and microscopy. Specialist work such as endocrinology, allergies, antibody testing and histopathology is sent to a specialist laboratory.
