As pet lovers, our furry companions hold a special place in our hearts. Their happiness and well-being are top priorities. But let’s face it, the stress of getting them to the clinic for routine care can be a hassle. Enter the unsung heroes of pet care: veterinary nurses. In this article, we’ll explore the incredible services they offer during in-home visits, such as nail clips, anal gland expression, ear cleaning, tick removal, and more.
Which services can I book with a Veterinary Nurse?
Nail Clips at home with a Gentle Touch
Unkempt nails can cause discomfort and even lead to injuries for our four-legged friends. Veterinary nurses perform nail clips with expertise and care. During in-home visits, they bring the necessary tools and a gentle touch, ensuring your pet’s paws are comfortable and healthy.
Anal Gland Expression at home: A Sensitive Procedure Made Comfortable
Anal gland issues can be a pain in the… well, the rear end for pets. This sensitive procedure is expertly handled by veterinary nurses during in-home visits. The comfort and privacy of your home environment reduce your pet’s anxiety, making the experience less stressful for both of you.
Ear Cleaning: Keeping Infections at Bay
Regular ear cleaning is essential for pets, especially those prone to ear infections. Veterinary nurses provide professional ear cleaning right at your doorstep, ensuring your pet’s ears stay healthy and happy.
Tick Removal: Swift and Stress-Free
Ticks can be more than just a nuisance; they can pose serious health risks to your pet. Having a veterinary nurse perform tick removal at home is not only convenient but also reduces the risk of complications. Swift and efficient tick removal is crucial for your pet’s well-being.
Microchipping
Microchips are a form of permanent identification used to keep your pet safe. The microchip is placed under your pets skin, usually between the shoulder blades. The details of their microchip are then registered to you on a database. This means if they ever get separated from you it will be easier to get you reunited. It’s a legal requirement in the UK that all dogs are microchipped by 8 weeks of age, and in the summer of 2024 a similar rule will come into place for cats. Our veterinary nurses can give your pet a microchip at home, no need to travel.
What are the benefits for my pet of having these
services at home?
Personalised Care
Home visit pet care provides a one-on-one experience between your pet and the veterinary nurse. This personalised attention allows the nurse to truly understand your pet’s needs, preferences, and behaviours. It also enables them to tailor their approach to your pet’s comfort, making the entire experience less daunting.
Tailored Services and additional needs
Whether it’s a nail trim, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, or tick removal, veterinary nurses offer a range of services tailored to your pet’s needs. These professionals have the expertise to perform these procedures efficiently and gently, ensuring your pet’s comfort throughout the process.
For pets with additional needs, traveling to a practice can be especially challenging. Veterinary nurse home visits cater to these requirements, providing a stress-free experience for pets with mobility issues, chronic conditions, or behavioural concerns.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Pets can often experience anxiety when taken to a practice due to unfamiliar sights, sounds, and scents. Veterinary nurse home visits eliminate these stressors, creating a peaceful and soothing atmosphere for your pet. The absence of other animals in the waiting room and the personalised attention they receive contribute to a more calm and pleasant experience.
With veterinary nurse home visits, your pet remains in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. This relaxed environment can have a positive impact on their overall well-being and reduce stress during procedures.
Conclusion
In-home pet care provided by veterinary nurses offers the convenience and comfort your pet deserves and brings expertise right to your doorstep.
So, the next time you think about your pet’s healthcare, remember the incredible contributions of veterinary nurses. Their in-home visits truly make a world of difference, allowing your furry family members to thrive in the comfort and safety of their own homes
