An annual examination with the vaccinations that are due.
What is involved
Every dog, cat and rabbit, annually
The annual appointment is a full health check with the vaccination attached rather than the other way round — for most healthy animals it is the one time a year a vet examines them from end to end, and a considerable proportion of what we find is found here. We vaccinate according to risk rather than giving everything every year.
What the appointment includes
How it works
A few minutes at reception or online. We request your animal’s history from your previous practice so it is here before you need it.
Tell us what you have noticed and how long for. It decides whether this is a routine appointment or an animal we need to see now.
A full examination and a discussion of what we think. Nothing further happens without an estimate and your agreement.
Bloods, imaging and treatment on site. If anything changes the estimate, we ring you before we go ahead.
Written instructions, pain relief where it is needed, and a booked check rather than a suggestion to ring if you are worried.
Ring the out-of-hours number on the contact page. It is answered every night of the year by a vet with access to your animal’s records. Ring before you set off so they are ready for you.
Appointments
Same-day appointments are held for animals that are unwell. Tell us what you have noticed and how long it has been going on.
