Vaccinating your pet and regular boosters not only help to protect them against infectious disease, but also provide an opportunity for the vet to carry out a full health check, and have a chat about your pets’ general condition. Happily most pets go home with wet noses and wagging tails, and for their owners, peace of mind that their much-loved pet is in good health. Puppies can begin their primary vaccination course at seven weeks old, and kittens at nine weeks.

We also offer protection against Kennel Cough, which is recommended for dogs that are attending training classes, exercised where close contact with other dogs is common, or are to spend time in kennels.

Maintaining your pet’s regular flea, tick and worming treatments is very important, as these irritating parasites can cause major skin irritation and health problems if not dealt with. If you are unsure which product or how to use them, our nurses and vets are only too happy to discuss, which type would be suitable for your pet.

Bad teeth can lead to gum disease, smelly breath and sometimes loss of teeth. Regular brushing and care can help to prevent the build up of plaque and tartar, which causes oral disease. However, pets do have a bit of trouble when it comes to holding the toothbrush and that is where you can help!

Our nurses can show you how to clean your pets’ teeth, and also provide free regular dental checks for your pets. A de-scale and polish to remove plaque is available, and any signs of other dental problems arising can be treated sooner, rather than later.
