Comprehensive health checks


Keeping Your Pet Healthy From Nose to Tail

Regular health checks are one of the most important ways to support your pet’s long-term wellbeing. Our comprehensive wellness examinations are designed to assess your pet’s overall health, identify potential concerns early, and provide tailored recommendations to help them live a happy, healthy life.

Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a cherished senior companion, routine health assessments allow us to monitor their health, track changes over time, and ensure they receive the best possible care at every stage of life.

What Is Included in a Comprehensive Health Check?

Full Physical Examination

We carefully assess your pet from head to tail, checking their eyes, ears, skin, coat, mouth, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, and overall body condition. This detailed examination helps identify any signs of illness, discomfort, or developing health concerns.

Dental Health Assessment

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues affecting pets. During your pet’s examination, we assess their teeth and gums for signs of plaque, tartar buildup, gum disease, broken teeth, or oral discomfort. Early intervention can help prevent pain and more serious dental problems in the future.

Weight and Body Condition Monitoring

Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for your pet’s overall health and longevity. We record your pet’s weight, assess their body condition, and discuss any changes that may affect their wellbeing. If needed, we can provide nutritional advice and weight management recommendations tailored to your pet’s needs.

Preventative Health Screening

Routine wellness examinations allow us to detect potential health issues before they become more serious. Early detection often leads to more effective treatment and better outcomes for your pet.

Equipped to Deliver Quality Care

Being mobile doesn’t mean compromising on the quality of care. Our fully equipped mobile veterinary service includes diagnostic equipment such as a microscope, blood glucose testing equipment, and specialised ear examination tools, allowing us to investigate many common conditions and begin treatment during your pet’s home visit whenever possible.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Where appropriate, we can perform a range of diagnostic tests during your pet’s home visit to help investigate health concerns without the need for an immediate clinic visit. This includes collecting blood and urine samples for laboratory testing, performing ear cytology (ear smears) to diagnose infections and guide treatment, and taking fine needle samples of lumps for in-house assessment or comprehensive laboratory analysis.

Personalised Care Recommendations

Every pet is unique. Following your pet’s examination, our veterinary team will provide tailored advice regarding nutrition, exercise, preventative care, parasite control, vaccinations, dental health, and lifestyle management to support their ongoing wellbeing.

Why Regular Wellness Exams Matter

Many pets are skilled at hiding signs of illness, meaning health issues can sometimes go unnoticed until they become advanced. Regular health checks allow our team to:

  • Detect health concerns early
  • Monitor ongoing medical conditions
  • Track changes in weight and body condition
  • Assess dental health
  • Provide preventative healthcare advice
  • Support healthy ageing
  • Improve your pet’s quality of life

Preventative care is often the most effective way to keep your pet healthy and avoid more serious health complications in the future.

Common Health Conditions We Assess

Comprehensive health checks provide an opportunity to investigate a wide range of medical concerns, including:

  • Skin conditions, including infections and chronic allergies
  • Vomiting and diarrhoea
  • Coughing and respiratory concerns
  • Heart murmurs
  • Lameness and mobility problems
  • Osteoarthritis (Degenerative Joint Disease)
  • Seizures
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Cushing’s disease (Hyperadrenocorticism)
  • Behavioural concerns

If further investigation is required, we will explain the next steps and recommend the most appropriate diagnostic or treatment options.

Tailored Care for Every Life Stage

Puppies and Kittens

Young pets benefit from regular health assessments to monitor growth, development, nutrition, and preventative healthcare needs during their important early months.

Adult Pets

Routine wellness examinations help maintain optimal health, monitor weight, assess dental condition, and identify any emerging concerns before they progress.

Senior Pets

As pets age, regular health checks become increasingly important. More frequent examinations can help detect age-related conditions, manage chronic diseases, monitor mobility, and maintain comfort and quality of life.

Ongoing Care and Support

Our commitment to your pet doesn’t end when the consultation is over. We carry a wide range of commonly used veterinary medications in our mobile veterinary vehicle, allowing many treatments to begin immediately during your home visit.

Where appropriate, we can also provide written prescriptions, arrange repeat medications, send convenient medication reminders, and deliver ongoing treatments directly to your home.

If your pet requires advanced imaging, surgery, dental treatment, or referral to a specialist, we’ll work closely with you to coordinate the next steps, recommend trusted referral centres, and support you throughout your pet’s healthcare journey.
