Q. My puppy is nearly 4 months old. When should I book her in to be spayed?
A. Your puppy is old enough now to be spayed. Call us on 07703 998 837 to arrange a date for us to come to you. We will call your vet if she is already registered with a veterinary practice.
Q. My vet has told me that my dog needs several teeth extracting. Can you give me a quote for this?
A. It is almost impossible to give an exact quote for dentistry especially if we have not seen your pet ourselves. All our dental work starts with scaling any tartar off the teeth. This is essential for the health of the tooth and the gums and also is necessary for us to then examine the tooth surface. There are different types of teeth in your pets mouth ( as in your own) and molar teeth for instance are more difficult to extract than incisors. Following extractions all the remaining teeth will be polished and the mouth flushed with antiseptic. For these reasons we can only give a range of cost involved as it can vary so much from one patient to another.
Acupuncture
Q. I have a 10 year old Labrador who is getting very stiff on her back legs. I don't want to put her on tablets. Would acupuncture help?
A. First we will examine her thoroughly as we treat in a holistic way. The first consultation will last an hour. If her hips are arthritic then acupuncture will definitely help her. She may need several treatments and continued care. Phone to talk to us about acupuncture treatment.
Practicalities
Q. I would like to use your service but not sure if I have a big enough driveway to allow you to park?
A. This is one problem that is causing us some difficulty. We do need level parking and the ability to get within approx 30 yards of your house. The unit is a long wheel base vehicle and it is difficult to manourvre some narrow and twisty drives. If you are unsure of access do give us a call with your address and we will do a visit beforehand to assess the site. Alternatively you may have a near neighbour or friend locally with more suitable access who might be happy to allow us to operate there. Don't worry, we can usually find an answer.
