General Health Checks
Annual check-ups are a great way to ensure your pet is healthy and to instigate preventative or diagnostic health care strategies. Check-ups include a comprehensive physical examination as well as any basic maintenance your pet may require such as nail trims or anal gland expression. Consultations are at least 30 minutes long.
Vaccinations and Microchipping
Vaccinations are given alongside a consultation and general health check.
For dogs, we provide C3 vaccination which protects against the core viruses (parvovirus, canine hepatitis and distemper) along with a kennel cough vaccine (parainfluenza and bordetella) to make up a C5 vaccination.
For our feline friends, an annual F3 vaccine covers them for feline panleukopenia, herpes virus and calicivirus (the last two are involved in the disease complex “cat flu”).
Senior health checks and palliative care
Keeping our older pets comfortable and improving their golden years of life is a passion of ours. Dr Alysha is a certified Animal Hospice and Palliative Care veterinarian having undertaken additional training in this area.
Whether you’ve noticed your senior pet “slowing down”, struggling with their mobility or suffering from cognitive decline we can help with diagnosis and formulation of a care plan that’s tailored to you and your senior pet’s needs.
We can also help with in-home palliative care plans and discussion and support around decision making for end of life care.
Euthanasia
Deciding to say goodbye to your pet and relieve them of their suffering is one of the hardest decisions you can make as a pet owner. Going through this difficult time in the comfort, privacy and familiarity of your own home, means a less stressful experience both for you and your beloved pet in their final moments.
Whether you would like your furry friend buried at home, privately cremated or communally cremated we can help with these options.
Visit our page on “Euthanasia and End of Life Care” where we answer many of the common questions we get asked on this topic. If you have further questions, would like additional support or guidance around the decision-making process, or to discuss palliative care options, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please be aware that we can have wait times of up to a week so please, where possible, plan ahead, especially for euthanasia’s. Whilst we do our best, on the day appointments are very difficult to accommodate.
