Veterinary Services Available at Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery
We offer a wide range of services to help maintain your pet’s health, diagnose problems promptly and provide treatment when needed. You can view our full range of veterinary services at Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery, but the main areas of care include the following.
Routine consultations and health checks
Regular examinations are an important part of keeping pets well. Our experienced veterinary team regularly helps identify early signs of problems during routine appointments, sometimes before an owner has noticed obvious symptoms at home.
These visits can include:
- General health checks
- Weight monitoring
- Puppy and kitten assessments
- Senior pet checks
- Advice on behaviour, mobility and diet
Many local pet owners ask us whether routine checks are really necessary if their pet seems well. In many cases, the answer is yes. Pets are often very good at hiding discomfort, especially cats and rabbits. Our health checks and clinics help us pick up concerns early and guide owners on the next steps.
Preventative healthcare
Preventative care is one of the most valuable services we provide. This includes support with keeping pets protected against avoidable disease and common parasites, as well as helping owners stay on top of routine healthcare needs.
Our preventative services include:
- Vaccinations
- Flea treatment advice
- Worming guidance
- Routine parasite control
- Neutering discussions
- Nutritional support
- Dental health advice
Our veterinary team often advises that prevention is usually simpler, kinder and more cost-effective than treating problems once they are advanced. You can explore our preventative healthcare options or look at the VIP Health Plan if you would like help budgeting for ongoing care.
Surgery and more advanced procedures
Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery also provides surgical care, from common operations to more advanced procedures. This allows many pets in Horsham and West Sussex to receive a high level of care through a familiar local team.
Depending on your pet’s needs, services may include:
- Routine neutering
- Lump removal
- Soft tissue surgery
- Orthopaedic assessment
- Advanced medical investigations
- Inpatient care and monitoring
We commonly see owners who are understandably anxious when their pet is booked in for an operation. Our role is to explain what is happening clearly, answer questions and make sure you know how to support your pet before and after treatment. You can find out more about our advanced surgery and medicine services and our keyhole surgery options.
Puppy, kitten and new pet support
Starting off with the right advice can make a big difference to your pet’s long-term health. We regularly help new owners with first vaccinations, parasite prevention, feeding guidance, microchipping discussions and general early care advice.
If you have recently brought home a young pet, our free puppy and kitten health checks can be a helpful first step.
Emergency and urgent veterinary care
Not every problem can wait for a routine appointment. If your pet becomes suddenly unwell or is injured, prompt assessment is important. Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery supports local pet owners with urgent veterinary guidance and access to emergency 24-hour vetcare when needed.
If your pet is struggling to breathe, has collapsed, is having a seizure, has eaten something toxic, or is in severe pain, contact a vet immediately.
Practical support for treatment decisions
Veterinary care is not just about procedures and tests. It is also about helping owners make informed, sensible decisions. Many local pet owners ask us about likely next steps, expected recovery, whether a symptom can wait, and how to plan for treatment costs.
To support this, we provide clear communication around options and fees, and you can view our veterinary prices online. Some owners may also wish to explore 0% finance options where appropriate.
What We Commonly See at Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery
At Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery we regularly help with a wide variety of everyday concerns, and many of them are more common than owners realise. Some of the issues we commonly see include:
- Itching, fleas and skin irritation
- Digestive upset such as vomiting or diarrhoea
- Ear problems in dogs
- Dental concerns and bad breath
- Lumps and bumps that need checking
- Weight gain and feeding questions
- Mobility changes in older pets
- Subtle illness signs in cats, rabbits and small pets
We also commonly see a few misconceptions. One is that indoor cats do not need preventative care. Another is that rabbits can wait longer for an appointment because they seem quiet rather than obviously unwell. In reality, both cats and rabbits can become poorly without showing dramatic signs early on.
Our experienced veterinary team regularly helps owners who say, “I wasn’t sure if it was worth booking.” In many cases, it absolutely is. A simple examination can reassure you if all is well, or allow us to act early if something needs attention.

Practical Advice for Pet Owners
If you are choosing a veterinary practice or deciding how best to support your pet’s health, a few practical steps can help:
- Do not wait for obvious illness. Pets often hide discomfort well, so regular checks matter.
- Keep up with preventative care. Vaccinations and parasite control are an important part of routine protection.
- Monitor small changes. Appetite, thirst, behaviour, weight and toilet habits can all provide useful clues.
- Have a plan for emergencies. Know how to access urgent help before you need it.
- Ask questions. Our veterinary team often advises owners that no question is too small when it comes to their pet’s wellbeing.
For many families in Horsham and West Sussex, joining a preventative care plan makes routine care easier to manage. If you would like support with vaccinations, parasite control and ongoing health checks, you can explore our VIP Health Plan for preventative pet care.
When To Contact A Vet
You should contact a vet if your pet:
- Is off food or water
- Has vomiting or diarrhoea that persists or is severe
- Seems lethargic, withdrawn or not themselves
- Has a new lump, swelling or wound
- Is scratching persistently or has skin changes
- Shows signs of pain or mobility problems
- Has breathing changes
- Has a sudden change in behaviour, urination or bowel movements
We commonly see owners who hoped a problem would settle on its own. Sometimes it does, but sometimes a delay means a pet has been uncomfortable for longer than necessary. If you are unsure, it is sensible to contact our veterinary team for advice or arrange a health check appointment.
If your pet is struggling to breathe, has collapsed, is having a seizure, has eaten something toxic, or is in severe pain, contact a vet immediately.
