 Preventative
care helps in terms of a higher quality of life for your pet and significant
financial savings, long term, for you. Many Veterinary Practices offer
free healthcare clinics and advice to support your best friend, from cradle
to grave. Please contact our practice for details.
A full comprehensive
clinical examination normally carried out by the Veterinary Surgeon and
included as part of the cost in your dog's annual vaccination. Our Vet
will also perform an examination, when you take your dog for a consultation
on any other issue or concern with their health.
Our Vet will use
this examination to look for signs of ill health such as infections, the
presence of parasites or identify the nature of any lumps or bumps. They
will also take the opportunity to identify potential problems, which may
need treatment or further investigations now to prevent them from developing
into something more serious or life threatening for your animal. The ideal
result of this examination is when the Vet can give your Pet a clean bill
of health and advise you on the appropriate care to maintain their healthy
status.
This time is also
an ideal opportunity for you to ask our Vet or Veterinary nurse questions
relating to your dogs health or lifestyle, such as, nutrition, worming,
flea control training and weight control.
If your dog is
over 7 years of age, you may want to consider taking them for a health
check more frequently than once a year, at vaccination time.
Likewise,
it is always worthwhile to take in a fresh specimen of urine, in a clean
container, for the vet to check.
