Consultations & Healthchecks

Icon for Vet

It is important to have your pet checked regularly to ensure he or she is well and thriving.  Many diseases or problems can be prevented or treated early by having an annual health check. 

Your pet will receive a health check when it comes in for vaccination, but for pets who don't need a vaccination every year an annual health check is still recommended.  Remember that a single year of your dog or cat's life equates to around 7 human years in terms of aging and disease onset, so waiting two years between vet visits is the same as a human waiting 14 years between visits to the doctor. 

An annual health check is also a good time for you to touch base with your veterinarian while they give your furry friend a general health examination and check that no major changes have occurred since the last time that you both came down to the clinic.  This is a good time to get veterinary advice on your pet's nutrition, weight management and flea & worm prevention.

​If your pet is very worried about veterinary visits, we can help you to make their visit as stress-free as possible. Feel free to call us in advance to discuss.
