Health Checks

Make sure your new pet is given the best possible start in life!

Health checks

New pets are extremely exciting; even more so if they’re your first pet. However, just like us, they need lots of care and attention while they’re young to ensure they’re growing up healthy and happy.

At The Neighbourhood Vet, we strongly recommend that you bring your new pet to see us once a month until they’re six months old.

This allows us to monitor their progress, catch any potential problems early on, and develop a great bond with the new addition to your family. It also helps your pet learn to love their visits to the vet, which should stick with them throughout their adult life.

Once your pet is 6 months old, they should only need to come and see us annually for a routine check-up, or if they’re unwell.
