We recommend bringing your adult pet in for a wellness check-up at least once a year. Regular visits help detect any early signs of illness and ensure they stay up to date on vaccinations and parasite control.

Core vaccines for adult pets typically include protection against diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and hepatitis for dogs, and herpes, calicivirus, and panleukopaenia for cats. Annual boosters or vaccines every 1-3 years are needed to maintain immunity. We’ll tailor a vaccination schedule based on your pet’s lifestyle and health.

Dental care should start early, but it becomes even more important in adulthood. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can prevent plaque build-up, gum disease, and other issues that can lead to pain or tooth loss.

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial, especially as pets get older and their activity levels change. We can provide guidance on adjusting portion sizes, choosing the right diet, and creating an exercise routine to keep your pet fit and healthy.

Signs of joint problems in pets include stiffness, limping, reluctance to jump or climb stairs, or decreased activity levels. If you notice any of these, we can assess your pet’s joint health and recommend treatments, supplements, or exercises to support mobility.

Routine blood tests are important for monitoring your pet’s overall health, especially if they have pre-existing conditions or are on long-term medications. These tests help detect early signs of illness, such as kidney or liver problems, allowing us to treat them before they progress.

Regular grooming, a balanced diet, and parasite control are key to maintaining a healthy coat and skin. If your pet experiences itching, hair loss, or skin irritation, we can investigate the cause and recommend appropriate treatments.

Cats, especially indoor cats, can be prone to weight gain as they age. We can help you adjust their diet, recommend portion sizes, and suggest toys or activities that keep your cat mentally and physically stimulated.

Cats often hide signs of illness, so it’s important to look for subtle changes in behaviour, such as lethargy, hiding, changes in appetite, or grooming habits. Regular check-ups are essential to catch issues early.

Joint health is especially important for larger breeds and active dogs. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and joint supplements can help support your dog’s mobility. We can also recommend specific treatments or therapies if joint issues arise.

Depending on your dog’s breed, activity level, and health status, we may recommend dietary adjustments to support their changing needs. We’ll guide you on the best food options for maintaining a healthy weight and addressing any specific health concerns.

Keeping your dog active with regular walks, playtime, and low-impact activities like swimming is essential for their overall health. We can recommend exercises tailored to your dog’s age and condition to maintain fitness and joint health.
