Nurse clinics at Orchard House Veterinary Centres

In the veterinary world we call veterinary nurses ‘Super-human’ as … well … they are!

Veterinary nurses are versatile members of the team and the backbone to the clinical side of our profession. Nurse clinics are a great service and we call these clinics a kind of “M.O.T” for your pet.

What nurse clinics and consultations do Orchard House Vets offer? 

Firstly – a clinic and a consultation are two different things. A clinic is generally for a specific reason, like a nail clip. A nurse consultation is more broad but is deemed a consultation where the nurse is doing more than a service.

If I am unsure if I will be charged to see a nurse, can I ask? 

Of course, please do. We try to be as transparent as possible and if you can save money we will certainly advise you about our Well Pet Club if you are not a member. Our team constantly look at records during consultations and if you are “paying as you go” for preventative treatment, vaccinations or certain clinics then our team will be happy to go through the Well Pet Club with you!
