FAQ's

It really depends on the individual pet. For most, a health check can be combined with your annual booster appointment although if you haven’t seen us in a while, it’s advisable to book a health check at least once a year so we can provide the best options for you in terms of re-starting vaccinations, general health and parasite control. Regular health checks will also help us to spot the signs of any problems sooner.

What happens during a health check appointment?
One of our vets or nurses will check your pet’s skin, eyes, ears, paws, teeth and gums and chat to you about any changes to their daily routine so that we can provide the best healthcare advice and identify any concerns as soon as possible. We’ll talk you through some advice for home care and may also recommend additional treatments or services as a result.
As we head into the summer months, what will my vet be looking for?
We often see an increase in skin diseases and in particular flea cases, as warmer conditions are ideal for flea pupae to hatch. Now would be a good time to check you are up to date with your parasite treatment. As we start to head outdoors and enjoy the warmer weather with our pets, our team will also discuss additional vaccinations with you to ensure your pet is protected against diseases like kennel cough which affects dogs.
*Health check will be charged at our standard consultation rate. Any additional services or treatment will be charged separately.
