 "Monier Veterinary Clinic")
These visits are more than just vaccinations—they are a chance to ensure your pet’s overall health and catch potential issues before they become serious or irreversible. We offer tailored health checks for pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior companions, adapting to their unique needs at every stage of life.
Health Checks
Proactive Care for a Healthier Life
Regular health checks are a cornerstone of preventive veterinary care at Monier Veterinary Clinic.
Puppy and Kitten Health Checks
Bringing a new puppy or kitten into your home is an exciting time, and their first health check is the foundation for lifelong wellness. We recommend scheduling a comprehensive check-up as soon as your new pet arrives. During this visit, our team will:
- Conduct a thorough physical exam to check for congenital or developmental issues.
- Discuss your pet’s vaccination schedule, ensuring timely protection against diseases.
- Address microchipping and registration to keep your pet safe and identifiable. Provide guidance on parasite prevention, including protection against fleas, ticks, and worms.
- Offer advice on feeding and husbandry, ensuring your pet’s nutritional needs are met.
- Discuss dental health, focusing on early hygiene habits to prevent future issues.
- Provide behavioural advice to help your puppy or kitten adjust, especially if there are other pets or children in the home.
You’ll also receive an information kit with resources on nutrition, preventative care, and behavioural tips to support your pet’s early development.
Annual Health Checks for Adult Pets
For adult cats and dogs, annual health checks are vital for monitoring overall well-being. These visits include:
- A full physical examination to detect early signs of illness.
- A dental assessment to address any oral health concerns.
- Discussions about diet, exercise, and any noticeable behavioural changes.
- Preventative care strategies to keep your pet healthy and happy.
- Notification of any new developments in preventative medicine or new health threats to your pet in our local area.
Annual check-ups help us stay proactive in identifying and managing emerging health issues, providing peace of mind for pet owners.
Free Nurse Dental Checks
We believe dental health is a critical part of your pet’s overall well-being.
To support this, we offer free dental checks with our trained veterinary nurses. These sessions allow us to:
- Monitor for early signs of dental disease.
- Provide guidance on at-home dental care, including product and technique recommendations.
- Offer tips on maintaining good oral hygiene between visits.
Senior Health Checks for Pets 8 Years and Older
As pets age, their needs evolve, and our senior health checks are specifically designed to address these changes. Recommended for pets aged eight years and older, these visits include:
- Additional screenings such as urine analysis, blood tests, blood pressure monitoring, and eye examinations.
- Mobility assessments to detect signs of arthritis or joint issues.
- Comprehensive dental evaluations, as senior pets are more prone to dental disease.
- Tailored advice on diet, mobility aids, and pain management.
- Weight management.
Our senior health checks often detect early stages of treatable conditions, improving your pet’s quality of life as they age. These checks can be scheduled alongside vaccinations or as standalone appointments.
