Prevention is Better Than Cure

Annual health checks, whilst not mandatory are strongly recommended by us and the New Zealand Veterinary Association. They help us detect issues early and keep your pet thriving. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. These comprehensive exams are tailored to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle.

At our clinic, we like to take a streamlined approach — instead of asking you to come in multiple times a year for separate appointments, we bundle everything together into one comprehensive visit. That means your pet's yearly health check, annual vaccinations and ongoing medication review all done at once. These appointments are given extra time, under the usual consult fee, at no extra cost.

Why Annual Health Checks Matter

Regular check-ups and wellness exams allow veterinary professionals to detect potential health issues early on. Through routine examinations, veterinarians can monitor changes in your pet's vital signs, weight, and overall physical condition through diagnostics. Detecting diseases in their initial stages can lead to more effective treatment options and significantly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

When diseases are diagnosed in their earliest stages, your pet will have more treatment options, better outcomes, and less stress and discomfort. Regular wellness visits not only catch potential health issues early but also create opportunities for personalised care, ensuring that each pet's unique needs are met.
