worried about your elderly pet?

Just like people, as your dogs and cats get older, they are at an increased risk of health issues such as chronic kidney disease, liver disease, osteoarthritis, and dental disease, as well as hyperthyroidism and hypertension (predominantly in cats). 

Our qualified nurse-led clinics are designed to help keep your pet ahead of the ageing process, by identifying signs of age-related conditions.  Early diagnosis and management can significantly increase the quality and life expectancy of your beloved pet.

Our specialist Senior Pet Clinics are aimed at dogs and cats aged 8 years and over or from 6 years up for larger breed dogs.   It costs £185 (less a 10% discount for Paws Pet Health Club members) and includes: 

  • Blood tests and analysis of results
  • Urine test
  • Blood pressure reading (cats),
  • Weight check
  • Dental advice
  • Senior pet advice

To book in your pet, please ask reception for a Senior Pet Health Clinic Questionnaire.  Once completed please hand it in at Reception or email it to This email address is being protected from spambots.

De-sensitisation Clinics

Ruby now likes to visit us in Upper Caldecote!
familiarising your pet

Is you pet nervous or afraid of coming to the vets? If so they may benefit from a course of de-sensitisation sessions.

Desensitisation is a technique used to expose your pet to stimulus until the pet becomes less reactive.

At the practice our nurse Charlie works on familiarising your pet with the waiting area and consult rooms and getting them used to basic restraint and having different parts of the body examined.

They then expose them to general equipment that we use such as scales, stethoscopes, ophthalmoscopes, otoscopes and clippers.

There is a one-off charge of £65 which includes approximately 6-8 de-sensitisation sessions with Charlie, as well as monthly follow-ups.

Please call reception on 01767 627317 if you want to book your pet in.
