Preventative Healthcare

Prevention is better than cure, and your pet’s health and well-being is no exception. The Veterinary Hospital team recommends that your pet receives a check-up at least once a year or more frequently as they get older. If they have special medical needs please ring for advice.

Regular visits to the vet play a huge part in the “prevention is better than cure” approach and are critical to preventing illness and identifying any newly emerging problems before they become serious.

Apart from detecting any subtle changes in your pet’s physical health, annual vet checks give us an opportunity to get your pet’s vaccinations and parasite control up to date, check your pet’s weight and teeth, and address any issues that may be worrying you.
