Happily pets nowadays have a longer life expectancy than 20 years ago. Along with this it also means that age related physical and mental problems are becoming more common e.g. arthritis, incontinence,and heart disease.Therefore we believe that middle age and senior pets require a higher level of attention.

FREE clinics have been set up at both our surgeries,by qualified veterinary nurses, designed for pets of 8 years or over to help early detection of any problems that may be present, which means they can often be managed and treated more successfully. In these appointments, there will be plenty of time to discuss any problems you may have noticed with your pet (if there are any) or any particular concerns you may have and special attention will be paid to finding solutions and treatment programmes for each individual case. There may be referrals to the vet, if thought necessary, which will then be charged for in the normal way.

If your dog or cat is 8 years old or over and you are interested in attending one of these clinics, please phone either the Totton surgery, 023 8066 0400 or Lyndhurst surgery, 023 8028 2358 for an appointment.
