Home Health Care

Fear Free Home Health Care places emphasises on creating a stress-free environment for pets during health care routines. It focuses on reducing anxiety through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and a calm setting. This approach improves pets’ well-being, making healthcare experiences more positive for both pets and their owners.

Nail Trims

Nail trims are a common source of stress for pets and owners, but we have some resources that can guide you to doing this successfully at home.

Grooming

Coat brushing has many health benefits, and can help to prevent some health issues. These are some resources to guide you to help your pet learn to enjoy grooming.

Ear Cleaning

It is a good idea to let your dog get used to handling and cleaning of the ears, so that they are comfortable with it should they require ear drops or cleaning.

Pet Dental Care at Home

Dental care is crucial for pets’ overall health. Regular at-home maintenance like brushing teeth and providing dental treats can prevent issues like plaque and gum disease. Good oral hygiene ensures pets stay healthy and happy.

Anal Gland Care

Dogs may scoot their bottoms when their anal glands fail to empty naturally, causing discomfort. This behaviour signals possible issues like impaction or infection. Veterinary attention is crucial for manual expression or treatment, ensuring the dog’s anal gland health and relieving discomfort.

Environmental Enrichment for Recovery & Restrictions

Determine suitable enrichment activities for animals in veterinary care or recovering from injury, considering their individual needs. Provide sensory stimulation through toys, puzzles, and appropriate exercises to enhance their well-being and environment interaction.
