Mobility Clinics
These clinics aim to improve the comfort of your pets as they get older. It is inevitable that pets will age but that doesn’t have to mean that quality of life should diminish prematurely.
During these clinics your pet will be assessed and you will be asked questions about their daily routine in order to gain a clear picture of where improvements can be made. This could mean speaking to our resident physiotherapist Luke about the best ways to help with your pet’s mobility needs.
We work with you to devise a plan that best suits you and your pet, even the smallest of changes can make a huge difference.

Puppy/Kitten Clinics
For the most part these clinics consist of taking your new puppy or kitten’s weight so that we can dispense the appropriate flea and worm cover for them. By bringing them in for regular weight checks your little one can get used to the practice environment which will set them up for life should they need us at any point.
Whilst you are here our nurses can offer you advice on what to expect from your new little one and how best to support their growth both mentally and physically. We can also refer you to recommended puppy training classes if you are stuck on what to do.
You may be given a leaflet referring you to us at your pet’s second vaccination, which will offer more information on these clinics.
Nutrition Clinics
These clinics are designed to help your pet reach their ideal body condition.
We have several resources to help create feeding guides, alter lifestyle and monitor your pet’s progress over a period of several weeks to make sure you’re on the right track.
There is never any judgement from us if your pet requires this support, we are here to help you as well as your pet.
General Clinics
Our RVNs can also offer several other services that your pets may need. These include:
- Anal gland emptying
