Regular Health Checks 
Just like humans, pets benefit from regular health checks to help them live long, happy, and healthy lives. Many health conditions - from dental disease to arthritis and organ issues - can be prevented or better managed when detected early.

​

Because animals are naturally good at hiding signs of illness or pain, problems can go unnoticed at home. That’s why we recommend a yearly health check, even if your pet seems well. For healthy pets, this check-up is included free with their annual vaccination.

​

If your pet is showing any signs of illness, or just seems a bit off, please don’t wait - book a check-up as soon as possible.

Health Care for Senior Pets
Dogs are considered senior from around 7 to 9 years of age, and cats from around 11 to 14 years, depending on breed and size. As pets enter their senior years, they may slow down, gain or lose weight, or develop signs of age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, or dental issues.

​

A senior wellness check provides a valuable snapshot of your pet’s health. It helps detect subtle changes before they become serious, and gives us a baseline to monitor over time.

​

Senior pet checks usually include:

• A thorough physical examination

• A comprehensive in-house blood test

• Discussion of any changes in mobility, appetite, or behaviour

 

Please allow around 45 minutes for this appointment. Thanks to our in-house pathology equipment, most blood test results are available by end of day, so there’s usually no need for a return visit.
