Our experienced nurses are able to give you lots of useful advice about your pets wellbeing and preventative health care.
If you would like an appointment with a nurse to talk about any of the subjects below please contact us.
Dental care
Dental care is extremely important and we would recommend that a dental care regime is started early in your pet’s life. We can show you the best ways and methods of protecting your pet’s teeth and can provide check-ups for older patients to see if their teeth are in good shape. Dental problems that are left can be extremely uncomfortable and may require dental treatment under a general anaesthetic.
Weight management
Managing our pet’s weight can sometimes be challenging. We can provide regular weight checks to discuss diets and help you keep a track of their progress. We can also discuss different ways to help reduce your pet’s weight. We offer a FREE weight management clinic.
Geriatric checks
As our pets get older they may require more regular trips to the vets. Pets over the age of seven are classed as senior/geriatric. We can provide health checks for your pets where we can check a range of different functions and give your pet a top to tail exam.
Diabetic care
Our staff can spend time with you discussing the aspects of living with a diabetic pet. We can provide demonstrations on how to give insulin, discuss your pet’s diet and give you advice on how to monitor your pet at home including the essential signs to look out for if something is going wrong.
Fleas and worming treatments
There are lots of different flea and worm treatments on the market and it can sometimes be quite confusing to know which ones to use, the time scales to use them and what each product is for. Giving your pet regular flea and worm treatment is both important for you, your pet and the environment.
Puppies and kittens
Getting a new puppy or kitten can be a very exciting time. We want to help you give your pet the best start and provide advice to keep them happy and healthy. Whilst your new puppy or kitten is starting out we recommend that they visit the surgery often to help good socialisation. They should be weighed frequently to make sure they are growing at the correct rate. We can also discuss neutering, talk about and administer flea and worm treatment, demonstrate dental care and discuss behaviour.
Neutering
Bringing your pet in for neutering can be quite a daunting experience. We can give you advice and talk about the benefits. We can also go through what the procedure involves and discuss aftercare.
Rabbit care
Rabbits are increasingly popular pets. Our team can give you advice on many aspect of their care. We can discuss their housing, caring for indoor rabbits and litter training. We can also demonstrate how to correctly handle your bunny and check their teeth and nails. We can also help with diet and talk about preventative healthcare.
