Health Checks with your Pets

What are pet health checks?

Regular check-ups with one of our vets can be extremely helpful to your pet’s health and any potential issues can be picked up and treated early.

Health checks are the best tool in preventing and beginning diagnoses of disease in pets. Unfortunately, our patients cannot tell us ‘where it hurts’ or ‘what they have eaten’ therefore a full health check is the best tool.

Our health checks are also a great way of getting your pet used to coming to the vets for something other than procedures and treatments, minimising any potential stress for them.

Checking your pets regularly at home.

Most pets live a happy and healthy life as long as they have good living conditions and plenty of love and attention. It’s important to monitor your pet at home for changes in behaviour and to check their eyes, ears, teeth, skin, body, feet, and claws for any irregularities.

As well as home checking, it’s important to bring your pet in to us for a regular health check as our vets can detect early signs of some illnesses that you will most likely not be aware of. We recommend a check-up every 6 months.
