- Vaccination plans and reminders
- Nutritional advice
- Disease prevention and surveillance; knowledge of the diseases that alpacas can carry and contract from other species, and how to test for them
- TB testing
- Pregnancy scanning
- Routine foot trimming and dental care
- Imaging for dental disease at Langford Vets including radiographs and CT
- Neonatal care, including giving plasma transfusions when appropriate
- On site laboratory and analysis of blood samples
