The 'Prep' Area

back to Facilities

The non-public areas are rarely seen by clients; the central area is our 'prep area', with the kennels, x-ray and operating theatre leading off from it. The design allows nurses to monitor all in-patients at the same time, and especially to keep an eye on animals recovering from operations or serious illness. 

The prep area is where all animals are anaesthetised and prepared for operations; in addition non-sterile operations such as dental work and stitching wounds are done here.
