25% of cats and dogs seen by a vet are overweight!

Obesity has a major impact on your pet’s health and well-being. Overweight animals can have a shortened life expectancy and are more susceptible to developing diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, cardiac and respiratory disease.

At GEOvet we are working with clients to achieve their pets target weight through our ‘Slim-Fit’ Program.

The ‘Slim-Fit’ Program has been developed by nutrition and health food manufacturers Royal Canin. Pets are weighed and put onto a strict diet and have regular weight, health and progress checks. Owners are given the following tools to help monitor progress:

– A weight monitoring chart
– Personalised computer-assisted monitoring
-A Nutritional Report on your pet
– Advice on nutrition and basic dietary habits
This tailored diet is an effective means of losing weight safely.

We can help your pet lose weight happily and safely. Find out about our free ‘Slim-Fit’ Program by contacting GEOvet.

Dental care for your pet’s teeth is an important part of their overall health. Tartar build-up and plaque can cause serious damage to teeth and health problems in addition to foul smelling breath. Dental disease can also lead to systemic health problems such as heart and kidney disease.

Regular dental cleaning and oral check ups can help your pet stay healthy throughout its life. We offer dental care for cats and dogs as well as equine. In fact, we are very passionate about Dental Health and see the impact this can have on your pet.

GEOvet prescribes and recommends a wide range of conventional medicines for large and small animals. Many conventional medications can be compounded into forms that are more convenient for administration to pets, such as flavoured liquids, chews and topical medications. Our pharmacies are stocked for pets as well as horses and farm animals.

You can be assured that GEOvet Veterinary Hospital always provides your pet with the highest standard of surgical, anaesthetic and nursing care. Prior to surgery, we perform a thorough physical examination to determine the health of your pet. We offer and recommend inhouse pre-anaesthetic blood testing because not all conditions that could cause a risk to the patient can be detected by a physical examination alone.

We use modern inhalation isoflurane gas anaesthesia, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, ECG, heart rate and respiration monitors with continuous monitoring by a veterinary nurse alongside the vet.

We provide many surgical services, including routine spay and neuters, soft tissue surgeries and orthopaedic surgeries. Pain management is integral in our medical protocol to provide a comfortable experience for your pet during recovery and after they go home.

If you are concerned about your pet or have questions regarding any of our surgical procedures, please phone us today.

As pets age, obtaining examinations for them becomes increasingly important. A number of diseases common to the aging process can be treated more effectively when diagnosed early. Beginning in middle age, we recommend senior wellness examinations every six months so that disease processes can be detected and treated as soon as possible.

Arthritis is common in cats and dogs. Similar to people, arthritis in animals can be painful, restrictive to movement and can seriously impact on quality of life. Treatment options in the form of medications or supplements can have a dramatic effect on the discomfort caused by sore, swollen joints. You may see your old dog acting like a young pup again with the right arthritis treatment.

Common senior dog diseases include : cancer, arthritis, diabetes, endocrinopathies

Common senior cat diseases include: hyperthyroidism, diabetes, renal disease, cancer, arthritis

Our pets don’t tell us when they are in pain – so we have to look out for them and take care to provide the most comfort we can in their latter years.

Find out how we can make a huge improvement to your pet’s comfort and wellbeing.

The decision to have your pet euthanised is the most difficult one you will ever need to make in the lifetime of your pet.

Our home service allows you and your pet to be in private, familiar surroundings and to take the time needed for this emotional process. The procedure is usually quiet, painless and rapid.

After euthanasia, several options are available. You may bury your pet at home, or we can arrange burial or cremation for you. If you are interested there are plaques and urns available. This is often an emotional time and we are there for you during the grieving process.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding euthanasia, please contact us. [LINK]

Some diseases are preventable! We recommend horses be vaccinated against Tetanus and Strangles.

A combined tetanus strangles is given at 12 weeks of age, a strangles 2 week following and a final combined Tetanus Strangles at 14 weeks. If you are unsure of your adult horses’ vaccination status they will require two vaccinations 4 weeks apart. Tetanus requires a 3 yearly booster and Strangles annually. Horses at risk can be vaccinated against Equine herpes virus. This virus causes respiratory infections in all horses and abortion in pregnant mares.

Vaccination protocols vary between animals so enquire with one of GEOvet’s staff members for further information, and remember to repeat their vaccinations annually.

Is your horse too fat or too thin, pregnant, geriatric or racing?
