Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, chinchillas, gerbils and birds can be catered for whilst you have a break. They are a cherished member of the family. They like the stability of routine and familiarity and can get stressed otherwise. Therefore, a home stay is the best solution for a content pet.
I will feed, give fresh water, clean cage or litter tray and of course TLC, giving you the peace of mind that your pet has the best care and attention. Medication can also be given as required.

It’s such a long day, especially for puppies and kittens, to be left at home alone. Depending on the age of the pup or kitten, your pet should be visited every couple of hours when it is very young to every four hours as it grows, and then there’s fitting in the extra feeds!
Feeding, exercise and play, cleaning up accidents, as well as Socialisation can also be undertaken on these visits. Puppies will be taken out to the garden or for a short walk to aid in their toilet training regime. Kittens will have extra fun playtime.

A pet microchip is a tiny computer chip that’s about the size of a grain of rice. It contains a unique code that matches up to your pet’s details. Microchipping a pet is a quick and simple procedure. The chip is inserted under your pets skin, usually around the scruff of the neck, using a needle. It takes seconds and can be done easily in your home. A microchip is a permanent form of identification. As long as the details are kept up to date, you can always be contacted if your pet goes missing.
By law, all dogs must be microchipped before 8 weeks of age. Cats and rabbits can also be microchipped and this is recommended especially if they go outdoors.

It is a known fact that people recover quicker after surgery or trauma, in the familiar surroundings of their home environment and this is the same for your pet too.
Inpatient hospitalisation is definitely required for some medical conditions. However, Vet Nurse Home Care District Plan can be appropriate for numerous conditions.
There are many benefits of our Vet Nurse Home Care – District Plan. It costs less than hospitalisation. This will allow your pet to remain in their own home with their family whilst receiving the help that they need. It also allows your pet to be in comfortable, familiar surroundings and they usually sleep and eat better. They have more privacy at home, it’s quieter and more peaceful in the home setting.
It benefits the family too, who get to spend time with their pet without making regular trips to a hospital; who may have trouble arranging transportation and the hospital might be quite a distance from the home.
Roseanne can take the stress away from worried owners, so that they do not become so overwhelmed with the care of their much loved pet. Most owners are not trained to provide the kind of help that their pet needs. Having Vet Nurse Home Care relieves them of the need to do work for which they are not prepared. Perhaps most importantly, it allows the family to stay together.
Pets that don’t require intensive medical care can receive care in their own homes.
Vet Nurse Home Care – District Plans offered are:
Post surgery aftercare plans including prescribed owner physiotherapy and gentle assisted walking. Palliative care plans can be tailored for pets who are reaching the end of life.
