ADVICE
Pet Health
Weight
Obesity is a growing issue amongst cats, dogs and rabbits and can lead to or exacerbate a variety of health problems e.g. diabetes mellitus, arthritis, heart disease etc. One of the best ways to help your pet lose weight is regular exercise, not only for dogs but by encouraging your cat to play they can shed the pounds too. Remember as with any exercise programme to build up gradually and sensibly. Contact the surgery for advice or book an appointment with one of our nurses for a weight consultation. Free weight check at any time during normal opening hours.
Pet Insurance
Many people don’t think about pet insurance until it is too late and they are faced with an unexpected bill. We recommend Cover for Life/ Lifetime cover policies. If you have any queries regarding your insurance policy, please give us a all and speak to Rachel, choose option 3 from the call menu and she will be happy to assist you.

Dental Care
Many dogs and cats over the age of 4yrs are affected by dental disease. There are various methods of helping to maintain healthy teeth and gums e.g. diet, chew sticks, brushing etc. However an initial dental scale and polish may be required to restore a healthy mouth.
Dental disease is very common in rabbits, therefore feeding the appropriate diet and regular dental checks are vital for the health and well being of your pet.
Vaccinations
Turn to Bridge Vets when you need vets who are experienced in performing dog vaccinations. Our team of veterinary surgeons are well-versed in carrying out health checks and vaccinations so that your pets are ready for whatever life throws at them.
When your mind turns to booking your summer holidays make sure your pet is up to date with their vaccinations. No reputable boarding establishment will accept your pets if their vaccines are out of date. Kennel cough vaccination may also be required for your dogs.
This is HALF PRICE if given with the annual booster vaccination.
