Our Registered Veterinary Nurses run a range of nurse clinics to provide help and advice for pet owners.
The veterinary nursing team at Bracknell Vets, are passionate about supporting you and your pets. Nurse clinics are an excellent option to get advice and assistance for a wide range of preventative healthcare, as well as support with managing health conditions.
Veterinary nurses can support you with advice (within these clinics) about caring for your pet on a variety of areas such as:
- Senior health care - caring for older pets
- Nutrition and weight management - planning a nutritious diet
- Post-operative care - what to do after an operation
- Dental care - keeping teeth and gums healthy
They can also administer some treatments including:
- Second vaccinations
- Various medications
- Applying flea, tick and worming treatment
- Microchipping
Finally, there are many procedures that veterinary nurses can complete during a nurse clinic. For example, wound management (redressing and reapplying bandages) and nail clipping to name just a couple.
As you can see, there are many areas our veterinary nurses can help you with during a nurse clinic, please get in touch to find out more!
Some services incur charges and certain nurse clinics are only available at certain branches due to space and facilities.
Having qualified and trainee Veterinary Nurses who between them have a wealth of knowledge and experience, allows our team here at Moor Cottage to run a number of FREE CLINICS to help and support our clients with the care of their pets. The majority of advice relates to preventative care and keeping your pet in the ideal condition.
Nurse appointments can be also made for some general check-ups, clipping nails and administering of medication – we also recommend them for routine wound checks and suture removal; dressing checks and changes, behaviour clinics and post dental checks.
