About us
Paws Inc.

The premises at Dawes Road has been a Veterinary clinic since the mid-1970's when it was owned by Kevin Sullivan who is still fondly remembered by many of the pet owners of West London.

Simon Meyer was fortunate enough to be offered the practice in Dawes Road and the small branch in Hammersmith in 1997 and purchased them that summer. Formerly known as Simon Meyer & Associates, Paws Inc. was formed in 2004.

The name reflects our love of pets and the teamwork that helps us care for them, and is the umbrella name that covers our two clinics, Paws in Dawes in Fulham, and Paws by the Green, (our new site in Shepherds Bush)


Consultations

Consultations are held at 15minute intervals to enable our veterinary surgeons sufficient time to thoroughly examine your pet,and to listen and advise of the best method of treatment. Sometimes longer consultation times are required for more complex issues such as skin and dietry problems or for pets travelling overseas. If you feel you or your pet requires a longer appointment please inform a member of staff when you book your appointment.

Most diagnoses can be made from a detailed history and physicalexamination, but sometimes other laboratory tests or X-rays or ultrasound etc may be necessary.


 
Visit us

At Paws Inc we're always happy to have you make a visit. If you'd like to arrange a tour of either clinic please send us an email or give reception a call.

Having recently refurbished our all of our three clinics and cat hotel we enjoy having the opportunity to show you their internal workings. A practice tour will raise your awareness of what happens behind the clinic doors, allow you contact with the staff, and hopefully capture your interest in all things veterinary.

We hope to see you soon.....


 
Accupuncture

Emma Buckland MRCVS holds weekly acupuncture sessions at our Fulham branch.

Acupuncture is the process of inserting thin, sterile, disposable needles at certain points in the body to control pain and other symptoms. The needles are, on average, a quarter of a millimetre thick and usually three to four centimetres in length depending on the size of the animal. Most animals tolerate needle placement extremely well and many become very relaxed during treatment, sometimes even falling asleep!

So…how could acupuncture help your pet?

Emma primarily uses acupuncture to alleviate pain and improve poor mobility associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis,  spinal disease, and following orthopaedic surgeries. Acupuncture can be used safely in conjunction with hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and anti inflammatories such as metacam and rimadyl, sometimes allowing a reduction in dosage that an animal needs to remain comfortable. Acupuncture can also be used as an aid to treatment in certain skin conditions such as allergic skin disease and some functional conditions such as recurrentconstipation in cats and irritable bowel type problems in dogs. Acupuncture can almost always be claimed for on pet insurance.

Acupucnture is classed as a surgical act in animals and as such may only be carried out by a qualified veterinary surgeon.

Emma has been trained in the Western scientific approach to acupuncture and has been using the technique alongside more traditional treatments with very pleasing results for two years.
