Preventative Care Services in Stroud & Stonehouse

Helping Your Pet Stay Healthy for Longer

The best veterinary care is the kind your pet never needs. That is the principle behind everything we do under preventative care: Helping you stay ahead of the problems that are avoidable and catching the ones that are not, before they become serious. This gives your pet the healthiest possible life at every stage of it.



Our preventative care services cover the full range of routine but genuinely important treatments and check-ups. Each one is delivered with the same caring, unhurried approach, with advice that is specific to your animal and their needs.

Vet Nurse Clinics

Vet nurse clinics are not a lesser alternative to seeing a vet. For many needs, they are actually the most appropriate solution, offering more focused time and a more relaxed conversation than a standard appointment might allow. Our nurses know our clients and their pets well, so you’ll see a familiar and trusted face.

Neutering and Spaying

Pet neutering and spaying are among the most common surgical procedures we perform and, for most pets, it is one of the most beneficial things you can do for their long-term health. Alongside the obvious advantage of preventing unplanned litters, it can bring significant behavioural benefits as well as health benefits that can meaningfully extend and improve your pet's life.

Flea & Worming Treatments

If you have spotted a flea on your pet, there are almost certainly many more you have not seen. Adult fleas can make up less than five percent of any infestation. The remaining 95% exists as eggs, larvae and pupae in your home, in carpets, soft furnishings and bedding, waiting to hatch. They can survive in these life stages for up to 12 months, which is why ongoing treatment and treating the house is important if you have seen fleas.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations also work cumulatively to protect more pets than just yours. When enough pets in a community are vaccinated, it becomes much harder for infectious diseases to take hold and spread, which matters particularly to pets who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons, the very young, or those with certain medical conditions.
