We have ten full time and 2-3 part time veterinary surgeons of varying age, experience and interests who are aided by friendly support staff including qualified veterinary nurses.
If you have a geriatric dog (big dogs from 7 years – smaller dogs from 8 years) & would like to have a free health check with one of our qualified Veterinary Nurses.
This is an opportunity to recognise signs of aging and what is normal or what can be done to treat or prevent.
Common age related problems include arthritis, which can be very painful and debilitating – or heart disease which can make your dog tired, lethargic and irritable. There are also more subtle diseases such as under active thyroid or Chronic Cognitive Disease which is the equivalent of our old age dementia and can be helped by using antioxidants, or even just being overweight which can in itself cause other disease problems.
Our nurse will examine your dog’s mouth, skin and joints and discuss any potential problems that may be present. More info >>
