Adult dogs, cats and other companion pets require regular vaccination, parasite control and a balanced diet. Below are guidelines on preventative healthcare. If you have any other questions or queries, don't hesitate to ask!

Puppies and kittens require different care to adult pets. See Puppy care and Kitten care for advice.

• Vaccination
• Microchip
• Parasite Control
• Dental Care
• Diet

Vaccination

Once your dog has had their inital vaccination they require a yearly booster to protect them from disease. At your pets vaccination appointment they will receive a full health check to insure they are in top condition from head to paw!

Parasite Control

One of the most dangerous parasites your dog can pick up is lungworm. Others include roundworm, tapeworm, hook worm, whip worm, fleas, ticks, ear mites, mange and lice. Your vet will advise you on the best protocol for your pet. Those with children should worm their pet regularly as they are at more risk.

Dental Care

Preventative dental care is not only good for your pets health but can also reduce the risk of costly dental procedures. Our staff can show you how to brush your pets teeth, please book a free nurse dental check or ask your vet at the next appointment.

If your pet has dental disease they will need to have a dental procedure to get them smiling again. We have ultrasonic dental equipment to enable us to remove tartar and if necessary perform extractions.

Signs of problems

Bad breath and plaque covered teeth are usual signs. Other signs include swollen gums, lack of interest in food, dribbling, bleeding gums and weight loss.

Diet

A complete diet is always recommended and we offer a free diet service for all our clients to discuss the nutritional needs of your pet as an individual. We offer our own veterinary diet, you can collect a free sample when your next in the surgery.
