Mission Statement.

Elands Veterinary Clinic

exists to improve the quality of life for the animals entrusted to our care. We are committed to providing professional help by all available methods for animals suffering the pain and disabling effects of all forms of disease and disability, to restore maximum health and well-being, to alleviate pain wherever possible, to actively promote preventative health care and optimum nutrition, and to remain at the forefront of veterinary medicine and surgery as a centre of excellence.

Elands Veterinary Clinic was built in 1986 on the site of Dunton Green Police House. Our aim was to provide the most up-to-date facilities possible, combined with a caring and cost effective service for our patients and clients. The surgery was purpose built with staff accommodation on site and plenty of free parking space.

The Practice cares for all domestic pets, and has a particular interest in minimally invasive techniques. If we expect it for ourselves, we believe we should expect it for our pets too. In addition to our general practice, we offer a referral service to other veterinary practices in endoscopy, ultrasound, dentistry and physiotherapy, and our specialists are also available to treat any of our own clients pets. We also care for some of the more exotic species such as birds of prey, reptiles and injured wildlife.

We go to great lengths to ensure the comfort and peace of mind of patients entrusted into our care. You will notice as you walk in the door that both the consulting rooms and the waiting room are carpeted in a special, non-absorbent carpet. Most dogs, and especially older ones, find walking on the more usual linoleum type floors found in waiting rooms, both difficult and uncomfortable. Carpeting is more comfortable for all pets to walk on and gives those patients with arthritis or hind limb weakness more confidence. Being totally non-absorbent the carpet is also easily sterilisable

All patient records are kept on computer, which automatically sends out reminders for vaccine boosters etc. - essential for continued good health. Each animal has his or her own record "card" on file which carries details of age, sex, breed etc as well as a full medical history, all available at the touch of a button.

Emergencies

We provide cover for all veterinary emergency cases 24 hours a day 365 days a year. We currently work with an independant specialist emergency service, which covers several veterinary practices in the Sevenoaks and Tonbridge area. This service is based at the Pennard Veterinary Group's surgery in Eardley Road, Sevenoaks - so there is never far to travel, and it allows the most efficient treatment of emergencies from a wide area. The emergency phone number to contact the duty Vet remains the same, and in an emergency you should always ring the usual Clinic Phone number (01732 452333) for instructions after hours. Outside office hours you will get a recorded message giving the telephone number of the Veterinary surgeon on duty. Duty Vets carry mobile phones at all times so that you should always be able to speak directly to a veterinary surgeon when necessary.
