Our consulting nurses possess a huge bank of knowledge to be able to provide current, informed advice and support to you and your pets. Not only do they help owners give pets the best start in life, they advise on a whole range of preventative care for happy, healthy pets long-term, administer a range of treatments, assess recovery progress and health status, triage injuries and recognise when it’s best for a pet to be referred to a vet.
Weight checks, flea and worming checks, anal glands release, post op checks, dressing changes, laser therapy, stitch removal, nail clips, tick removal, second vaccinations, microchipping, blood pressure checks, eye cleaning, arthritis injections, end of life discussion and bereavement support … these are just some of the standard appointments our nurses have seen in the past week.
Our Registered Veterinary Nurse Charlotte completed a Veterinary Nursing Consulting Certificate last year and loves sharing course learning around preventative care and chronic and acute conditions on her consulting days. Based in our cat clinic yesterday, Charlotte’s consultations included feline nutrition advice and general health checks, assessing patient response to mobility-improving medication and administering injections and carrying out cat nail clips.
Here she is trimming guinea pig claws – a particular highlight as most of our visitors are cats and dogs!

Our team love celebrating the highs of pet ownership, but are also very aware that there will be times when comfort and compassion is a priority, not least when beloved pet companions reach end of life. We appreciate how much it matters that any requests relating to pet cremation, ashes return and memento choices are carried out correctly. To support this, our Registered Veterinary Nurse Mia has streamlined our deceased pet protocols, and is primary team member in charge of cross-referencing and checking records and paperwork before deceased pets leave practice for the pet crematorium. Thank you, Mia, for taking on this important responsibility, and for the care and compassion you show deceased pets making their final journey.
