Mobile vet nurse home visits - servicing Auckland
My name is Bronwen, and I have been a qualified, working Veterinary Nurse since 2000. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, I created Vet Nurse Services to offer mobile vet nurse health visits offering a range of home care services for your pets. It is my aim to make pet care accessible and stress-free, by coming to you and helping you where your pet is most happy - in your home.
Our Services Include:
-
I use a non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitor to read your pet’s blood pressure. The pettrust monitor is used by many Auckland veterinary clinics.
When monitoring an animal’s blood pressure, it is important that readings are taken in a stress-free situation to avoid inaccurate readings of higher pressure than normal. This is very important when your veterinarian is monitoring the medication dosage in your pet.
I will record your pet’s blood pressure in your home environment, wherever your pet is most comfortable! On the floor, bed, couch or crate, I will assist you wherever necessary.
-
Blood glucose tests can be performed in the home with a quick and easy blood test to measure your pet’s blood glucose levels.
Important for diabetic pets and insulin dosing. This test is generally performed in conjunction with a veterinarian’s treatment.
-
Subcutaneous fluid therapy (SQ fluids or Subcut fluids) may be recommended by your veterinarian if your pet is diagnosed with renal disease, (CKD, kidney disease, kidney failure). Constipation issues, geriatric or palliative care and other illnesses may also require subcutaneous fluid therapy.
I will liaise with your veterinarian regarding the type of fluid, amount and regularity of treatment. I will treat your animal in the comfort of your home, and in their favourite spot.
-
Please microchip your pets!
A quick and easy procedure to implant a tiny microchip can help prevent you from losing your pet. I will do this at your home, and have them registered with the online database in minutes.
Contact me for a free preliminary microchipping consultation.
-
I will groom, clip, and clean your pet from head to toe! No specialised clipping, please! I am not trained in the art of beautification but vet nurses are well trained and experienced in the art of de-matting, de-knotting, de-dagging, brushing, trimming, plucking and bathing!
I come to you, with patience and plenty of treats to make the experience as joyful for your pet as it is for me!
-
Administering tablets, liquids, injections, topical treatments, and eye or ear medications can be quite a challenge for pet owners with fiesty or cunning pets.
I am extremely confident and experienced in medicating and have many tricks up my sleeve for when the time calls for them.
-
Regular parasite checks, along with flea and worming treatments, are essential for maintaining your pet’s health and well-being. Parasites like fleas, ticks, and internal worms can cause a range of health issues, from mild irritation to serious conditions that affect your pet’s organs and overall vitality.
