What happens during a vet consultation?

During a vet consultation, your pet will receive a thorough and gentle physical examination tailored to their individual needs. Our vets carefully assess your pet's weight, temperature, heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, and coat, while also taking the time to understand your pet’s behaviour, diet, and any concerns you may have. If further tests, treatment, or preventative care are needed, your vet will guide you through the next steps with clear, supportive advice.

Do you offer consultations for exotic pets?

Yes, many of our practices offer consultations for a wide range of exotic pets, including rabbits, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Your pet will receive a tailored examination based on their species, environment, and specific needs. Our experienced team can offer advice on diet, habitat, behaviour, and preventative care, as well as diagnose and treat any health concerns.

We recommend contacting your local practice in advance to confirm availability and ensure you’re booked with a vet experienced in caring for your pet’s species.

What is a re-examination for pets?

A re-examination, or a follow-up consultation, helps us monitor your pet’s progress after treatment or an initial diagnosis. During this visit, your vet will assess how your pet is recovering, check if any symptoms have improved, and make any adjustments to their treatment plan to support them in their recovery.

What is a veterinary nurse clinic?

A veterinary nurse clinic is a consultation led by one of our qualified veterinary nurses, focusing on preventative care and everyday health support. This may include weight checks, nail clipping, post-operative checks, parasite advice, and general well-being guidance. Nurse clinics are a great way to support your pet’s health between vet appointments.

How do I know if my pet needs emergency care?

Your pet may need emergency veterinary care if they show signs such as difficulty breathing, severe pain, vomiting or diarrhoea, collapse, seizures, bleeding, or any sudden changes in behaviour. If you’re ever unsure, it’s always safest to contact your vet practice for advice - we’re here to help and guide you.
