New Puppy or Kitten

It’s an exciting time introducing a new pet to your family. Also much to do. Don’t worry as the team at North Shore Vet Hospital can guide you through the first few months from vaccinations to training tips. Our vets are always available for help and advice so please don’t hesitate to call us.

Puppy Preschool

Our onsite puppy school teaches you and your new puppy how to behave around the house, dogs and people.With classes at the hospital, we will teach you about socialisation, toilet training, handling for trips to the vet, basic obedience, exercise and play requirements. With how quickly puppies develop, and form habits, we recommend early training as essential.

Vaccination and Diseases

Ensure your new pet is protected against diseases such as Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis and Parvo Virus (DHLP). Our vets can discuss the best options with you based on your pet and lifestyle to ensure a healthy and happy home. Also vaccinations become part of a schedule for general health checks and preventative health care services.

Microchipping

As well as being compulsory, microchips give your pets the best chance of being identified and returned to you should they become lost or stolen. Many pets can be microchipped and we recommend this for cats, dogs and rabbits. A microchip is about the size of a grain of rice, and injected so it will always be there. Lost pets are typically scanned by rescue kennels helping your pet get home safely should they get lost.

Dietary Advice

A well balanced diet is a key to healthy growth in puppies, kittens and the ongoing health of your pet. Our vets will guide you to the right balance of nutrition and calories needed though a pets life. In particular older pets will benefit from formulated diets to meet their changing requirements.

Animal Dentistry

Veterinary dentists use many of the same techniques and equipment as human dentists do. We carry out procedures including cleaning, polishing and extractions of infected or broken teeth. The best dental care is a good routine at home, including brushing and the right food. This combined with an occasional check ensure a healthy mouth for your dearest. Should more serious treatment be required, our vets have the latest in pet dental equipment to ensure the best treatment.

Exotic Pets
