What are Nurse Consults?
Nurse consults are appointments with a qualified veterinary nurse who can assist with a range of non-emergency health services for your dog, cat, or rabbit. These consults are ideal for routine care and wellness checks, giving you the support you need to keep your pet in optimal health. Nurse consults are particularly beneficial for:
- Weight management: Support and advice on managing your pet’s weight.
- Post-operative care: Assistance with bandage changes, wound management, and recovery tips after surgery.
- Medication administration: Guidance on how to give medication, including tablets and injections.
- Dental checks: Early identification of dental issues and advice on how to maintain your pet’s oral health.
- Puppy and kitten care: Advice on nutrition, training, and development during your pet’s early stages of life.
Our veterinary nurses are skilled in offering practical advice and hands-on assistance to keep your pet healthy and happy.
Services Provided During Nurse Consults
Nurse consults cover a wide range of preventive and routine care services that can help catch early signs of illness, provide support for chronic conditions, and offer ongoing health advice. Common services provided during nurse consults include:
- Weight and Diet Management
Obesity is a common issue in pets and can lead to serious health problems like diabetes or joint issues. Our nurses can help you create a tailored diet and exercise plan for your pet, monitor their weight, and suggest appropriate portion sizes and foods. - Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, pets often need follow-up care such as wound monitoring, suture removal, and bandage changes. Our nurses are trained to handle post-surgery care, ensuring that your pet’s recovery is smooth and comfortable. - Administering Medication
If you’re struggling to give your pet their medication, our nurses can demonstrate how to administer tablets, liquids, or injections. We can also help with regular treatments like flea and worm prevention, or manage ongoing health conditions that require periodic medication. - Dental Health Checks
Dental problems are common in pets, but often go unnoticed. During a nurse consult, our veterinary nurses can check for early signs of dental disease and offer advice on tooth brushing, dietary changes, and other preventive measures. - Puppy and Kitten Health Advice
Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Our nurse consults provide new pet owners with guidance on nutrition, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, and socialization techniques to ensure your young pet gets the best start in life.
