My dog hates going to the vet. Why would I do this on a regular basis?
We know! Trips to the vet can be stressful for everyone involved. They often involve taking time off work, sitting in a busy waiting room and standing in a consultation room, often seeing a different vet each time. At daycare, in the company of their pooch pals and friendly daycare family, each assessment is as stress-free as possible.
I’m going on holidays with my dog, will he miss out on his treatments?
We will provide you with a Care Package containing of all your dog’s parasite control. If you are travelling overseas and require any travel documentation we are here to help, get in touch.
