The emphasis today is towards preventative medicine. The cornerstone of preventative medicine is a regular health check, this we recommend twice a year. This health check enables us to give a full physical examination of your pet and the opportunity to discuss any changes in your pet's behaviour, this will enable us to uncover any potential problems

When your pet reaches 1 year of age, and you return with your pet for its booster vaccination and annual health check, it is a good time to take some base-level blood tests to establish normal parameters.   With these results on file, we can then monitor any changes that may occur.

Adult Wellness Programme

As pets age up to seven times faster than humans, by the age of two most pets have reached adulthood. At age 4 many are entering middle age. Because they age quicker, health changes can occur in a very short period of time.


Twice a year wellness exams allow us to detect and treat problems before they become life-threatening. They also provide you with a chance to ask us any questions about nutrition, behaviour, dental health etc. Research shows that more than half of pet owners consider their pet a part of the family. Nearly 70 percent think their pet's healthcare is just as important as their own, so make sure your best friend sees the vet at least twice a year.  

Experience shows that when we see our patients on a regular basis and check their internal functions with blood tests, their general well-being is improved.   Blood testing offers a means of establishing individual parameters that change with time.   It offers a basis for early diagnosis of disease and can be graphed over the years to see how the parameters  change as your pet ages.
