What makes Ocean Vets Three Legged Cross and Alderholt the right choice for your pet?
When it comes to choosing the best veterinary care for your beloved pet, not all practices are created equal. At Ocean Vets in Three Legged Cross and Alderholt, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond — offering services and expertise that many other local vet practices in the Verwood, Fordingbridge & surrounding areas simply can’t match. Here’s what sets us apart.
Advanced Surgical Expertise — Without the Need for Referral
Ocean Vets is run by Fiona and Jeremy, both RCVS-recognised Advanced Practitioners in small animal surgery (PGCert SAS). With over 57 years of combined experience (Jeremy: 39 years, Fiona: 18 years), they offer specialist-level care in-house — without the need for external referrals.
We routinely perform complex orthopaedic procedures, such as:
- TPLO and CCWO cruciate ligament surgeries
- Fracture repairs
- Stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for joint issues
We also offer a wide range of soft tissue surgeries, including:
- Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgeries: lap spays, liver biopsies, retained testicles
- Tumour removals and reconstructive surgery
- Brachycephalic airway surgeries for flat-faced breeds
All performed at our own clinics, saving you time, travel, and the higher costs associated with referral centres.
Compassionate, Contextualised Care
While we’re proud to offer gold-standard veterinary care, we also understand that not every pet owner can or wants to pursue the most advanced option.
That’s why we take a personalised approach — discussing all available treatments with you, and tailoring care to fit your pet’s needs and your budget. It’s pet care with empathy, not pressure.
Continuity of Care — You’ll See the Same Faces
We’re an independent practice, owned and operated by the very vets treating your pets — no corporate shareholders here. That means:
- Continuity of care — you’ll often see the same vet
- A team focused on pet welfare, not profits
- A friendly, familiar face for you and your pet every visit
Dedicated, Skilled Team
Our experienced nursing team is committed to keeping your pets calm, safe, and comfortable during treatment.
And our brilliant reception team is always ready with a warm welcome and helpful advice — whether you’re booking in, following up, or just need reassurance.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Both our practices are equipped with the latest veterinary technology, including:
- Advanced orthopaedic surgical instruments
- Keyhole surgery and vessel-sealing equipment
- Digital X-ray
- In-house lab diagnostics
- Anaesthesia and advanced monitoring systems
- Laser and Phovia light therapy for healing and pain relief
We invest in the best — because your pets deserve the best.
The Ocean Paws Plan
Keeping your pet healthy shouldn’t be stressful or expensive. Our health plan, the Ocean Paws Plan is a simple, cost-effective way to cover routine care — including vaccinations, flea & worm prevention, and health checks — with easy monthly payments.
It’s designed to keep your pet in tip-top condition while helping you spread the cost.
