Kidney disease is a common condition in older cats, and managing it requires a proactive approach to ensure a good quality of life. Fortunately, several at-home therapy options can help support a cat's health and slow the progression of kidney disease.
Parasite control is a crucial aspect of pet care that often goes beyond simple grooming. Fleas, ticks, worms, and other parasites can lead to serious health issues for pets, so regular checks and treatments are essential. While many pet owners are familiar with taking their pets to the vet for these services, there is growing demand for in-home care from trained professionals. One of the best options is to have a vet nurse conduct a full parasite check and administer worm and flea treatments at home. This approach offers several advantages, from convenience and comfort to more accurate care.
The benefits of mobile grooming are hard to overlook. From reducing stress to saving time, here are some of the key advantages of choosing mobile pet grooming.
1. Convenience and Time-Saving
One of the primary reasons pet owners opt for mobile grooming is convenience. Rather than taking time out of your busy schedule to transport your pet to a traditional grooming salon or clinic, mobile groomers come directly to you. This eliminates the need for travel, waiting, and the hassle of arranging schedules. For pet owners with tight schedules or those who find it difficult to leave the house, mobile grooming is a time-saver. You can simply book an appointment and have your pet groomed while you're at home or running errands.
Renal disease, especially chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a common condition in older pets, particularly cats and dogs. One of the most effective ways to manage kidney disease is through subcutaneous fluid therapy (SQ fluids), which involves administering fluids under the skin to help keep your pet hydrated. While the idea of giving your pet fluids at home might sound intimidating at first, it can significantly improve their health and quality of life.
Just like humans, pets can develop health conditions that affect their blood pressure, such as heart disease, kidney problems, or even stress. Monitoring your pet's blood pressure is crucial for early detection and management of these issues. While routine check-ups at the vet are important, home blood pressure monitoring offers unique benefits that can enhance your pet's care.

We absolutely <3 the work that we do! We <3 the freedom to choose our own working hours.

We <3 that we feel refreshed again and again with each new position and that we never feel the pressure from workplace politics or colleague disputes. Finally of course, we <3 the patients!
These two gorgeous kittens were brought in to the clinic that I was working at for a short locum position. They had been found at the back of a persons property where there were 'lots of wild cats'. There mother was nowhere to be found.
They have made a wonderful, full recovery and are beautiful bundles of joy and love

These photos are from a little way back in April and May this year - but I just love the action shots, and the chance to see 'behind the scenes' of veterinary work. I really wanted to share them with you!
What a fun night we had in December! A night of Pet First Aid - hosted by the Cat Lounge and presented by Veterinary Nurse Services.
If your cat is unable to urinate on their own, it can quickly become a serious - and very life-threatening - situation. One of the ways veterinary professionals can help in these cases is through bladder expression.
