Preventative healthcare
Annual health checks
A thorough nose-to-tail examination once a year is the single best thing you can do for your pet's long-term health. We check everything — and we explain what we find.
Why annual health checks matter
Pets age much faster than people. A year between check-ups can mean missing early signs of dental disease, weight changes, heart murmurs, lumps, or organ changes that are far easier to treat when caught early.
Our annual health check is a full physical examination — eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, coat, joints, and lymph nodes. We'll also review your pet's diet, weight, parasite prevention, and vaccination status.
We take the time to answer your questions and give you a clear picture of your pet's health. No rushed appointments.
Also included
- Vaccination review and boosters if due
- Parasite prevention advice (fleas, ticks, worms, heartworm)
- Nutritional and weight guidance
- Behavioural questions answered
- Written health summary on request
