FLOOR

OUR PRACTICE FLOOR WAS COVERED WITH SPECIAL VINYL ANTI-SLIP FLOORING-JULY 2010.

All of our spaces were covered with vinyl anti-slip flooring in order to ensure the safe walking of our patients.

The works lasted for 4 days and the whole practice equipment was moved out of the building in order to change the floors. It was a very difficult and challenging project but the result was worth it! The change of our practice floor was absolutely necessary as the old floor was too slippery. This new floor is safe and easy to keep clean and hygienic.

 

 

CONSULTING ROOM

Our consulting room is equipped with:

 

  • Electric based examination table/weighing scales. Our patients can step on the table on their own as the height of the table can go as low as 30cm from the floor.
  • Complete equipment for the examination of eyes and ears.
  • Electronic Microscope equipped with internal camera that connects to PC in order to transfer the images. Owners can see our microscopic findings on the computer screen and that helps us explain our diagnosis better.

KENNELS EXTENSION -JUNE 2011!!!!

Our hospitalization area is gradually getting bigger and better. The start of extending our main building was made by acquiring a new building that stands nextdoor to the original practice building. Our future plans include: special recovery area for the anaesthetized patients, resting staff area, more kennel rooms and isolation area for animals carrying contagious diseases and second larger theatre.

OUR BACKYARD

JULY 2015

The backyard of our new extended building was created for the relaxation of our little patients as well as .....ours! This is the exterior space of our new building since 2010 that we turned into a little "oasis" with a lot of hard work and effort! In this space our hospitalized patients can walk and relax during their hospitalization time and of course this is the home of our pets - Patripodos, Kalamaris and........Head nurse "SOSONI"! This is the area where we can enjoy time with our great loves: animals and flowers!!!!

This is also the space we use in order to host events such as LOCAL SCHOOL VISITS, when we take the opportunity to help and educate young students over animal welfare and pet owners responsibilities and hopefully encourage our young students to follow the path of the most beautiful science of all: VETERINARY!
