We’ve been impressed in the past with CGS Hospital’s ability to deal with pet illnesses, and love the fact that they have a 24-hour emergency ward. They also offer boarding facilities—this isn’t 5 star plushness, it’s more a no-frills guesthouse. Dogs are checked into a kennel, walked four times a day, and fed fresh food (unless the owner wishes to provide packaged food).
As a rite of passage, all dogs are given a tick/flea shampoo treatment when they’re checking in. This is a good option if your pet is a bit older or prone to falling sick — you know that the good people in white coats are literally next door.
