What is covered in my pet’s health check?

We will take a full clinical history and address any concerns or questions you may have about your pet. We will also perform a full clinical exam to assess their health status and gain further information about any issues they are having. A health check may also include further tests such as blood samples or blood pressure tests if recommended for your pet’s condition.

When your pet has a full health examination – we check the following things:

  • Body condition
  • Heart rate and rhythm
  • Breathing rate and lung sounds
  • Eyes, ears and skin examination
  • Mouth/dental examination
  • Movement
  • body temperature (if deemed necessary)
  • blood pressure (if deemed necessary)

How much is a pet health check?

A consultation is £42, any treatment or procedures are charged in addition to this.

How long does a pet health check take?

A standard pet health check takes 15 – 20 minutes.

When can I make an appointment for my pet’s health check?

Appointments can be made from 8am – 7pm Monday to Friday, 9am – 3.30pm on Saturdays, and 10.30am - 3.30pm on Sundays.

Who conducts the pet heath check?

The initial health check will be carried out by a final year veterinary student, working under the close supervision of an experienced veterinary surgeon. The vet will also examine your pet and discuss any findings or treatment required.

Where does the pet health check take place?

Pet health checks take place in our state-of-the-art veterinary hospital in Camden hospital where all of your pet’s needs can be catered for. House visits may be booked under exceptional circumstances but this will incur additional fees. 

How often should my pet have a health check?

All pets should have a full health check once per year (usually at the time of their annual vaccination). We recommend that older pets (cats over ten years, dogs over eight years old) are checked every six months as they can be prone to developing age related health conditions.

Can I book a health check for any type of pet?

Yes – not only do we have a team of experienced small animal vets who focus on cats and dogs, we also have a specialist exotics team who can provide health checks for more unusual pets including birds, rodents and reptiles.
