Our Team Offers You

New - Accupuncture

Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy that uses fine needles to stimulate specific points in the body, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and triggering natural pain relief. Commonly used to treat pain, anxiety, and allergies in pets, it’s a safe and holistic option—though not suitable for cancerous tumours. Each 30-minute session costs £52.80 and may be covered by insurance. Treatment typically begins with weekly sessions, gradually tapering to monthly maintenance, tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

Nurse Clinics

Our Registered Veterinary Nurses run health clinics where you can discuss preventative care you can undertake to keep your pets healthy. Currently they offer advice on weight loss, diet, managing long term medical conditions and behaviour and socialisation. Nurses will also help administer medications, clip claws, post operative check ups and admit and discharge surgical cases and inpatients.

Dental Radiography

We have recently invested in a mobile digital dental x-ray unit, that allows us to easily image animals mouth. This helps minimise anaesthetic time and having to transport animals about the practice while under anaesthetic. This helps diagnose dental problems that cannot be seen to the naked eye but can cause severe dental pain. Cats are especially prone to such issues which is why we include full mouth radiographs with all our cat dental procedures.

Cat Friendly Practice

At Swaffham Vets, we are proud to be an International Cat Care (iCatCare) accredited Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic, a recognition that reflects our commitment to providing the very best care for our feline patients.

Opthalmoplogy

Helen Manson is a qualified veterinary ophthalmologist, having gained her Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons certificate in 2012, following several years of study. Helen offers a second opinion referral service for vets in the local area, both medical and surgical. She has a particular interest in canine and feline corneal disease. If you are unsure of suitability for referral or would like to arrange a referral, then contact the practice and Helen will be happy to advise you of next steps.
