What Services Do We Offer as Nurse Consultations?
Nurse consultations are ideal for preventative care and ongoing support, especially for pets with long-term needs. Our veterinary nurses are trained to handle many aspects of day-to-day pet care, including:
Pet Weight
Clinics
Support with weight loss, tailored diet plans and monitoring to help your pet stay fit and healthy.
Repeat
Injections
Injections that don’t require a vet, such as monthly arthritis or allergy treatments (on vet approval).
Nail
Clipping
Regular nail trims to keep your pet comfortable and mobile.
Anal Gland
Expressing
Safe, gentle anal gland emptying to prevent discomfort and infection.
What’s the Difference Between a Vet and Nurse Consultation?
A veterinary surgeon is required for diagnosis, prescribing medication, and treating illness.
A veterinary nurse provides clinical care, advice, and support with routine tasks that don’t involve diagnosis or prescribing.

What to Expect During a Vet Nurse Consultation
Your appointment will include:
- A gentle, stress-free check of your pet
- The specific treatment or procedure requested
- Friendly, practical advice on managing your pet’s health at home
- Referrals to the vet if anything outside our nurse’s remit is spotted
We take the time to make every visit positive and informative – both for you and your pet.
How Much Is a Nurse Consultation?
Nurse consultations are often more affordable than vet appointments. Prices typically start from £22.00 depending on the service.
