Make the most of the fantastic Drove nursing team
We’re proud of our dedicated team of registered veterinary nurses, who alongside their complex role in our practices also consult with clients via our nursing clinics.
Our nurses play a crucial role in our team and many have experience and qualifications in a range of areas.
And remember, all nurse clinics are included free of charge for Lifetime Care Club Unlimited members!
Nurse led services we offer include:
Weight and diet

Unfortunately, it’s increasingly common for us to see overweight pets. If this is affecting your cat or dog, our nurses can offer bespoke advice, dietary recommendations and regular weigh-ins, to help you get back on track to a healthier, happier pet.
Dental care

Dental disease is one of the most common conditions we see in practice, and if your pet is suffering it is crucial to nip this in the bud and treat it early. Our nurse dental health assessments can help you to understand more about what your pet needs.
Confident cat clinics

Cats often display unusual behaviours when they are stressed or unhappy about something. Our cat clinics are run by our nursing team who are qualified in behavioural difficulties and experienced in dealing with feline patients.
Arthritic care

Our team of nurses can provide advice on daily management of arthritis and treatments that can help your pet live their life to the fullest.
Desensitisation clinics

Regular check ups are so important to help keep your dog healthy throughout their lifetime. However, we know that visiting the vets can be stressful for some of our patients, which is why our nursing team run clinics to help your dog get used to visiting us.
