Nurses Clinics

Juvenile Check ups: performed by our qualified nurses at around 9months of age we check your pets wellbeing, their recovery after neutering, their weight and answer any questions you may have regarding you pet.

Dental check ups: Dental disease in pets is a great concern. As only a few people are able to brush their animals teeth on a regular basis we see a lot of plaque and tartar build up. Halitosis is a very common complaint amongst pet owners, the complaint of ‘dog breath’ is regularly heard by our vets and nurses, and this is down to a build up of bacteria in the mouth, Dental disease does not only affect the breath but also can lead to serious disease – heart, lung, kidney and intestinal diseases can all be linked in some cases to oral cavity infections.
We offer free dental check ups with a nurse, where we can discuss the best line of care, diet and treatment for your pets teeth.

Weight clinics: Regular weight checks are essential for many animals who are on diets for a variety of reasons. These are run on an appointment system with a veterinary nurse and are available at all 3 surgeries.
Obese animals present a number of problems and keeping your animal in shape with good exercise and not overfeeding can reduce not only food bills but vets fees. Overweight cats in particular are prone to urinary tract disease, coat problems and diabetes mellitus to name a few.

The clinics are free of charge and if regular monitoring of your pets weight is done, we are more likely able to safely reduce the weight of your pet increasing not only their potential quantity but also improving their quality of life.

Puppy parties: Run by our qualified vet nurse Nicola, these lovely classes are designed primarily for new owners of puppies but everyone is welcome. Puppies after their first vaccination are able to attend with prior notice and we run a course of 2 classes held usually on consecutive Wednesday evenings at our main Lewes surgery. They are totally free of charge.

We cover topics of flea and worm treatments, vaccinations, basic socialisation and handling and try to answer as many questions as possible. ‘Pass the puppy’ is a nice way of getting used to handling and checking a variety of dogs not just your own, and there are prizes for the quiz at the end of the second session. It is not a training class but can give you a few good tips to bringing up a happy healthy puppy.
