General Health Consultations
About this service
Thorough care, without the car trip
We bring thorough, unhurried veterinary care to your pet in the comfort of home. Every visit is a full nose-to-tail assessment, tailored to your pet’s age, temperament and individual needs.
From annual health checks and vaccinations to new worries like limping, itching or a change in appetite, we look at your pet’s overall wellbeing rather than a single symptom.

What happens
What to expect during your visit
We take a detailed history. We start by discussing any changes or concerns you have noticed at home.
A full physical examination. We check your pet from nose to tail, assessing heart, lungs, abdomen, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, skin, coat, joints and mobility.
Wellbeing and prevention. We assess weight and body condition, give vaccinations where appropriate, and discuss parasite prevention, nutrition, dental and behaviour.
Findings and next steps. We explain what we found and, if needed, recommend diagnostics such as blood or urine testing, then agree on any treatment or follow-up.

Why a home visit helps
The difference of care at home
Your pet is examined in their own familiar surroundings
Home visits suit anxious pets, cats, seniors and pets with mobility difficulties

Seeing your pet at home gives useful insight into their movement and routine
Multiple pets in one household can often be seen in the same visit
No car travel, no waiting room and no cat carrier required
