Routine exams

Our routine exams are an essential part of maintaining your pet’s optimal health. By bringing your dog, cat, or rabbit in regularly, you give our veterinarians the opportunity to monitor your pet’s overall health and detect diseases in the early stages when they can be more effectively treated.

During these exams, we employ a comprehensive approach to ensure your pet is in top shape.

 
  • Weighing your pet to track their growth and assess body condition
  • Checking your pet’s stance and gait for any signs of lameness or discomfort
  • Examining your pet’s feet and nails for damage or signs of underlying health concerns
  • Listening to your pet’s heart and lungs to assess their cardiovascular health
  • Conducting a thorough examination of your pet’s skin for issues such as dryness, parasites, or unusual lumps
  • Inspecting the overall condition of your pet’s coat, including looking for signs of inflammation or infection
  • Examining your pet’s eyes for redness, cloudiness, eyelid issues, excessive tearing, or discharge
  • Checking your pet’s ears for signs of bacterial infection, ear mites, wax build-up, or polyps
  • Assessing your pet’s dental health and looking for signs of periodontal disease, damage, or decay
  • Palpating your pet’s body to detect any signs of illness, swelling, or evidence of lameness
  • Addressing any questions or concerns you may have regarding your pet’s health and well-being

Our Veterinary Services

Vaccinations

At Rackheath Vets, we offer routine vaccinations as part of our standard service. Vaccines are crucial in protecting your pets from various diseases and conditions. Administered to healthy pets, vaccines stimulate their immune system, ensuring they have the necessary immunity.

Our recommended schedule ensures that your cats, dogs, and rabbits are up-to-date with their vaccinations, providing them with essential protection.

Parasite control

Parasites such as fleas, worms, and ticks are a common concern for household animals and can cause discomfort and pain if not properly addressed. At Rackheath Vets, we understand the importance of effective parasite control to ensure the health and well-being of your furry friends.

Our friendly and knowledgeable vets are here to provide guidance and advise you on the right methods for your pets. We offer a variety of options for flea, worm, and tick treatments to suit your pet’s needs.

Pet neutering

Neutering is a surgical procedure that involves removing your pet’s ability to reproduce. In females, it is known as spaying, while in males, it is called castration.

At Rackheath Vets, we offer spaying and neutering services for dogs, cats, and rabbits.

Neutering pets not only helps control the pet population but also offers several health benefits for your furry companions.
