Our facilities

We operate from a newly refurbished surgery in a historic mission building that combines charm with advanced medical technology. Our facilities include a spacious prep room, three patient wards and 2 sterile operating theatres equipped with hepa-filtered ventilation for optimal sterility. We offer advanced imaging and diagnostics including CT, digital x-ray, ultrasound, arthroscopy with Nanoscope technology and a visiting MRI service. With regular hygiene audits, OTEX laundry for infection control and full air conditioning, our environment prioritises the safety and comfort of both patients and staff.

  • My experiences of referring dogs to YIR have all been extremely positive. I’ve been able to discuss cases with a knowledgeable vet, received clear cost estimates, timely appointments, and quick follow-up reports. I’ve been very pleased by the care given to my clients’ dogs.
