Nurse Clinics

How can our nurses help?

Highgate Veterinary Clinic offers clinics with our qualified nurses for a variety of concerns. 

These include:

  • Second vaccinations
  • Pre & post-neutering checks
  • Flea and worm advice
  • Microchipping
  • Dental checks
  • Health checks
  • Post-operative checks
  • Weight clinics
  • Anal gland emptying
  • Nail clips
  • Grooming
  • New pet discussions
  • Blood pressure measurements
  • Blood samples
  • Tick removal
  • General advice

Nurse appointments are available on weekdays at both of our surgeries. These clinics offer the chance for your pets to become more familiar with the practice and sometimes offer a more convenient time to best suit you. They also allow for any concerns to be transferred to veterinary surgeons quickly to prevent a pet’s illness from escalating.

Pre-neutering checks can be booked within a couple of weeks of a planned procedure. These allow you to talk through the neutering process with the nurse prior to operation as we know this can be a daunting time so would like to make you feel as comfortable about the procedures as possible.

Furthermore, post-operative checks and stitch removal appointments make sure that care after surgery is closely monitored to allow the fastest and best recovery for your pets. 

Weight Clinics

Being overweight carries many health risks; joints and organs have to constantly cope with a larger, heavier body than they are made for. This makes heart disease, diabetes and arthritis much more common, meaning that pets often have shorter, less comfortable lives at greater financial expense to their owners. There are subtle changes too, such as a reduced ability to groom themselves as the extra fat can mean that parts of their body become inaccessible. Factors such as these have a psychological impact, as a healthy body is a healthy mind!
