At Blackwater Vets, our carefully designed nurse clinics support and monitor the health of your pets.

Diet Clinics

Did you know: a recent study has shown that around 51% of dogs and 44% of cats are overweight in the UK? As part of our goal to promote the best possible care for our pets, we want to do something about this. Our nurse offers in-depth diet management clinics designed to take the confusion out of getting your pet’s weight under control while ensuring they are getting a healthy balance of essential nutrients.

After a full assessment of body condition and body fat, we can work with you to create a diet plan to suit both you and your pet’s needs, to ensure the weight loss process is as simple as possible. We also provide ongoing support and advice throughout the weight loss journey and help you to maintain your pet’s ideal weight once their goals are achieved. Contact our reception team to book your tailored consultation with our nurse.

Puppy and Kitten Clinics

If you’ve adopted a puppy or kitten, these clinics are a great opportunity to gently introduce them to vet visits in a fun and positive way. Our nurse will be able to answer questions about their general care –  cuddles and treats included! Even experienced pet owners will benefit from having calmer pets who are more used to vet visits from a young age. These appointments are complimentary for patients on the health plan or clients purchasing flea and worm prevention from us. Please ask our reception team for more details.

Mobility Assessment

We recognise that pain (especially subtle, slow building chronic pain) in companion animals can be difficult to detect and address. Our mobility clinic has been designed to investigate potential signs of pain and allows us to better direct you to the next steps for a happier and more comfortable life for your pet. During this clinic, the nurse will guide you through our moblilty questionnaire and will discuss any concerns or queries you may have. Mobility assessments are complimentary for patients on the health plan.
