Life-stage Veterinary Care
At Southwater Veterinary Group, we understand that every stage of your pet’s life is unique and requires specialised care. That’s why we are dedicated to providing comprehensive life stage care to ensure your furry family members enjoy a happy and healthy life from puppyhood to their golden years.
Our experienced team of vets and staff are committed to tailoring our services to meet the evolving needs of your beloved pets. From wellness check-ups for playful puppies and kittens to tailored senior care for your aging companions, we offer a range of services, advice, and support to keep your pets thriving at every life stage.
At the start of your pet’s life, we offer comprehensive puppy and kitten check-ups, which includes the primary vaccination course and full examination, as well as advice on behaviour, neutering and integrating your new addition into the home. We also recommend yearly boosters to keep their immunity up to date, which is a good opportunity to give them a full MOT and discuss any concerns you may have.
Our nurse appointments include weight clinics and geriatric check-ups, so as your pet reaches their later years, we can advise on helping them keep trim (to help keep their joints and heart healthy) and other conditions such as dental disease, lumps and bumps and arthritis.
For any surgical procedures, we recommend pre anaesthetic blood testing in animals over the age of 8, or those with underlying heath conditions. This helps us to check their internal organ function, prior to an anaesthetic, and we also provide intravenous fluids to many of our surgical patients, to help maintain a normal blood pressure during their procedure.
