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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

Benefits of Nurse Consults

   Nurse consults are a cost-effective way to access professional advice and routine care without needing to see a vet for every minor issue. These consultations can often be quicker to schedule and are ideal for routine health checks or follow-up care.

   By regularly visiting for a nurse consult, you can catch potential health issues early before they develop into more serious conditions. Our nurses will monitor your pet’s health and advise on preventive measures, such as vaccinations, dental hygiene, and parasite control.
3. Personalized Care
   Our veterinary nurses provide tailored advice based on your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s helping manage your pet’s chronic illness or offering nutritional advice, you’ll receive a personalized approach to your pet’s health.
