Routine Health Care

 

We strongly believe that routine preventative health care is one of the most important aspects of responsible pet ownership and it starts from the day you bring your new pet home.

Here at the surgery we can help by advising you on the timing of different treatments and their application.

​

The most important ones to start with are:

​

For adult animals

​

- Annual vaccinations 

- Worming tablets every 3 months

- Flea treatment (with tick prevention) every 4 weeks

 

For Puppies/kittens:

​

-Primary course of 2 vaccinations

-Worming : every 2 weeks until 3 months old​              

                   every month until 6 months old

                   every 3 months from then onwards

-Flea treatments: every 4 weeks from the time they go outside (care: some products are not safe for young animals, always check the label!)

We can deal with most medical and surgical cases here at the surgery. There are however times where the nature of your pet's illness of injuries go beyond our expertise. In these cases we will work with you to try and find the best option, this may involve referral to a specialist center for further treatment.
