Since April 2006, it has been a legal requirement for all dogs to be microchipped in England. This has now been extended to cats, officially since June 2024. Regardless of your cat's age, it is now legally required for them to be microchipped.
We strongly advise all pets be microchipped, even those that are kept indoors. If your pet gets lost or sadly taken without a microchip, it is very unlikely they will be found and returned to you safely.
The microchips are about the size of a long grain of rice and are inserted under the skin at the back of your pets scruff. Each microchip has a unique 15 digit number which once registered is kept on a secure national database. If your pet is found and scanned this number can be traced to you and so your beloved pet can be returned.

When requesting more medication or food please give us at least 24 hours notice. The main reason for this is to allow us time to check whether the item is in stock, if it isn’t we can order it to arrive the next day and dispense it.
Bespoke Anaesthesia
Bespoke Anaesthesia
Anaesthesia and sedation is essential to facilitate most procedures we need to perform on our veterinary patients. At The Guildford Vet, we recognise that every animal is an individual, with relatively unique needs for their personal anaesthesia or sedation plan. Therefore every patient we see has an anaesthesia or sedation plan that is tailored to them. This helps make our procedures as safe, and as pain and fear free as possible.

We have coupled up with Provetsurg, a peripatetic referral orthopaedic service headed by Nicci Meadows. This allows us to offer the highest standard of orthopaedic surgery in house. ProVetSurg provides an accessible in-house referral surgical service by certified surgical advanced practitioners. This enables clients to remain close to home, and pets to be treated in a familiar environment with vets and nurses that they already know. Surgical fees aim to be affordable for a wide range of clients.
