Mobile Services details

A mobile vet nurse assists you with your pet health care at home. I can also liaise with your veterinarian, and provide regular testing or monitoring of many conditions in your home, while your pet is rested and stress-free.

Blood Pressure Monitoring

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.

Subcutaneous Fluid Therapy

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.

Blood Glucose testing

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.

Microchipping

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.

Grooming, Claw Clipping and Ears Cleaned

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!

Medicating

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.
