Any questions about caring for your new pet
Vaccinations
Vaccinations can help protect puppies and kittens against a number of serious infectious diseases.
We will advise you on an appropriate vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, previous vaccination history, lifestyle and individual circumstances.
If your puppy or kitten has already received vaccinations from a breeder, rescue centre or another veterinary practice, please bring any records with you so we can review them.
Parasite Care
Puppies and kittens may be exposed to fleas, ticks and worms, but the most appropriate treatment and frequency can vary between individual pets.
Our veterinary team will consider factors such as age, weight, lifestyle, environment and risk before recommending a suitable parasite treatment plan.
We will explain any products we recommend, how they should be used and the associated costs before treatment is provided.
Nutrition, Growth & Development
Good nutrition is especially important while puppies and kittens are growing.
We can offer advice on feeding, healthy weight, portion sizes and choosing an appropriate diet for your pet’s age and development.
We can also help with questions about behaviour, socialisation and settling your new pet into their home.
Ongoing Support
As your puppy or kitten grows, their healthcare needs will change. Regular check-ups give us the opportunity to monitor their development and discuss any changes or concerns along the way.
Our aim is to help your new pet get off to a healthy start while giving you clear, practical advice and the information you need to make informed decisions about their care.
