Wellness checks
Your pet’s health changes rapidly, especially as they age much faster than we do. Regular health checks are vital to catch any potential problems early, ensuring they can be treated quickly and effectively.
At Pawsitive Vet Care, we recommend at least annual wellness visits for younger pets and more frequent check-ups (every six months) for cats and dogs over seven years old to monitor their health and support healthy ageing.


We are proud to take a Fear Free approach, creating a calm and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. From the moment you arrive, we aim to make every visit as comfortable as possible.
Help your pet thrive at every stage of life. Book a wellness check today and give them the care they deserve.

Vaccinations
Dogs, cats and rabbits are susceptible to many serious diseases, many of which can be easily prevented with vaccinations. Vaccines work by stimulating your pet’s immune system to recognise and fight off certain illnesses, keeping them safe and healthy. As your pet’s immune system changes with age, regular booster vaccinations are essential to maintain their protection.
At Pawsitive Vet Care, we work closely with you to create a personalised vaccination plan tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and health needs. This ensures they receive only the vaccinations they require while remaining fully protected.

Vaccines we offer

Dogs
- Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus (DHP) – Core vaccination, vital for all dogs. Following primary vaccination course, boosters are given every 3 years. Vaccine titre testing is available as an alternative to boosters.
- Leptospirosis – considered a core vaccination in the UK so strongly recommended for all dogs. Annual booster vaccinations required.
- Kennel cough (parainfluenza and Bordetella) – recommended for dogs meeting lots of other dogs, often a requirement for kennels or doggy day care. Annual vaccinations required. We offer both the intranasal and injectable vaccinations, depending on your (and your dog’s!) preference.
- Rabies – required for dogs travelling outside the UK, boosters given every 3 years.

Cats
- Cat flu, panleucopaenia – Core vaccination, vital for all cats. Following primary vaccination course, boosters are given annually.
- Feline leukaemia – considered a core vaccination for kittens. After kittenhood, only required for cats going outside or mixing with other cats (i.e. most cats). Booster vaccination given every 3 years.
- Rabies – required for dogs travelling outside the UK, boosters given every 3 years.

Rabbits
- Myxomatosis – Core vaccination, vital for all rabbits. Boosters are given annually.
- Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) – Core vaccination, vital for all rabbits. Boosters are given annually.

Dental Care
Keeping your pet’s teeth clean is essential to prevent tooth pain and ensure their overall health. Regular dental care not only helps keep their breath fresh but also reduces the risk of serious health issues, including heart, liver, and kidney disease.
Did you know that by the age of three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats develop some form of oral disease? The good news is that much of this can be prevented with proper dental hygiene, including regular brushing and professional care.
Take the first step towards protecting your pet’s dental and overall health. Contact us to learn more or schedule a dental check today.


Signs of dental disease
- Bad breath
- Bleeding, red and inflamed or recessed gums
- Layers of tartar overlying the teeth
- Discoloured teeth
- Loose teeth or missing teeth
- Rubbing mouth on floor
- Pawing at mouth
- Preference for one type of food over another
Preventing dental disease
Brushing your pet’s teeth daily is the single most effective way to prevent dental disease. In fact, brushing every other day is 60% less effective, and brushing four times a week or less has no proven benefit. Starting when your pet is young makes it easier to get them accustomed to the process and ensures the best long-term results.
Top Tips for Brushing Your Pet’s Teeth
- Use pet-specific toothpaste: Never use human toothpaste—it’s not safe for pets. Instead, choose a tasty dog or cat toothpaste, with enzymatic formulas being the most effective.
- Start slowly: Begin by applying a small amount of toothpaste on your finger and letting your pet get used to the taste and sensation.
- Introduce the toothbrush gradually: Once your pet is comfortable, use a toothbrush. The mechanical action of brushing is what makes it so effective in keeping their teeth clean.
Daily brushing is a simple step that can make a world of difference to your pet’s health and happiness






Treating dental disease
If your pet has developed dental disease, early treatment can often reverse its effects. A professional dental cleaning, particularly in the early stages of dental disease, can fully restore your pet’s oral health. However, in advanced cases, damage may be irreversible, making early intervention essential.
What’s Involved in a Dental Cleaning?
Our dental cleaning procedures are thorough and designed to give your pet the best chance at a healthy, pain-free mouth. These include:
- Digital Dental X-rays: To assess periodontal pockets, bone loss, and root damage.
- Comprehensive Oral Exam and Charting: A full evaluation of each tooth and surrounding structures.
- Ultrasonic Scaling: Cleaning above and below the gumline to remove tartar and plaque.
- Polishing: Smoothing tooth enamel to reduce future tartar build-up.
In more severe cases of periodontal disease, teeth that are broken, loose, or significantly damaged may need to be extracted. We will always consult with you before performing an extraction. Your pet will also receive pain relief during and after the procedure to ensure their comfort.
General Anaesthesia for a Stress-Free Experience
To carry out such a thorough procedure safely and effectively, general anaesthesia is required. This ensures your pet remains stress-free and safe throughout the cleaning. Before the procedure, we conduct a pre-anaesthetic exam and recommend blood tests to confirm your pet is healthy and fit for anaesthesia. During the procedure, we closely monitor your pet’s vital signs using advanced equipment to detect and address any changes immediately.
Take the first step towards improving your pet’s oral health. Book a dental evaluation today.

Neutering
Neutering is a routine surgical procedure with many health and behavioural benefits for your pet. At Pawsitive Vet Care, we provide expert advice and care tailored to your pet’s individual needs, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend.
We recommend that all cats and rabbits are neutered from the age of around 4-5 months to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce behavioural issues.
With dogs, recommended timing of neutering is more individual so we always advise a consultation with a vet to discuss the pros and cons.


What to Expect
- Pre-Surgery Assessment: We’ll carry out a thorough health check to ensure your pet is fit for surgery.
- Safe Anaesthesia: Your pet’s safety is our priority. We use modern anaesthetic and pain relief protocols and monitor your pet closely throughout the procedure.
- Post-Surgery Care: After surgery, we’ll provide you with tailored advice, pain relief and support to help your pet recover comfortably at home.
A Commitment to Comfort
At Pawsitive Vet Care, our Fear Free approach means we prioritise your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being. From a calm environment to personalised care plans, we aim to make every visit as stress-free as possible.
Take the next step in protecting your pet’s health and happiness. Contact us to learn more about neutering or to book a consultation.


Surgery
At Pawsitive Vet Care, we understand that the thought of surgery for your pet can feel daunting. That’s why our team is dedicated to providing expert surgical care in a calm, comfortable environment, ensuring the best outcomes for your pet and peace of mind for you.
Our experienced veterinary surgeon is highly skilled in a variety of soft tissue procedures, including routine surgeries and more complex treatments. For specialised procedures, we work closely with visiting surgeons who bring additional expertise to our practice, so your pet can receive advanced care without the need for a referral elsewhere.


Safety First: Comprehensive Anaesthetic Monitoring
Your pet’s safety is our top priority during surgery. Our practice is equipped with extensive anaesthetic monitoring equipment, including a portable capnograph, which provides real-time information about your pet’s breathing and carbon dioxide levels. This, along with other advanced monitoring tools, ensures that your pet’s anaesthetic is as safe as possible.
A Commitment to Comfort
We believe that a comfortable pet is a happier, healthier pet. That’s why we take a proactive approach to pain relief, ensuring your pet experiences minimal discomfort before, during, and after their procedure. Following surgery, your pet will recover in our modern and comfortable kennels, designed to reduce stress and promote healing.
As part of our commitment to Fear Free care, we strive to make every aspect of your pet’s surgical journey as calm and stress-free as possible. From pre-surgical consultations to post-operative recovery, our compassionate team is here to support both you and your pet every step of the way.


Imaging
When your pet is unwell, having access to accurate and efficient diagnostic tools is essential. At Pawsitive Vet Care, we believe in using the latest technology to quickly and effectively identify the cause of your pet’s illness and provide the best possible care.
Our practice is equipped with modern imaging tools to ensure we can deliver precise diagnoses:
- Digital X-rays: We use advanced digital radiography for both general and dental X-rays, allowing us to assess bones, joints, and internal organs with exceptional clarity.
- Ultrasound: Our state-of-the-art ultrasound machine enables us to examine soft tissues and internal organs in detail, making it an invaluable tool for diagnosing conditions such as heart disease, abdominal issues, and more.


Nurse Clinics
Behind every great vet is an exceptional veterinary nurse. At Pawsitive Vet Care, our dedicated nursing team plays a vital role in delivering outstanding care to your pets and ensuring our practice is a welcoming, comfortable place to visit.


What Do Nurse Clinics Offer?
Our veterinary nurses are highly skilled and here to support your pet’s health and well-being through a range of dedicated clinics, including:
- Puppy and Kitten Development Checks: Helping your new family member grow up happy and healthy.
- Weight Clinics: Offering tailored advice to help manage your pet’s weight and prevent obesity-related issues.
- Diabetes Clinics: Supporting pets with diabetes through monitoring and advice.
- Senior Clinics: Providing care and guidance for older pets to ensure they age gracefully and comfortably.
- Dental Clinics: Helping to keep your pet’s teeth and gums in great condition.
These clinics are for healthy pets or monitoring long-term conditions in stable pets, providing a perfect opportunity to address questions about your pet’s general health, discuss specific concerns, or learn more about keeping them happy and thriving.
Membership Plans with Added Value
Our nurse clinics are even more accessible through our membership plans:
- Gold Paws Plan: Includes unlimited consultation fees with both vets and nurses.
- Silver Paws Plan: Includes three free nurse consultations per year.
- Best Start in Life Plan: Offers free nurse consultations for puppies, kittens, and rabbits.
These plans are designed to make pet care easier and more affordable, giving you peace of mind and access to expert advice whenever you need it.


When to See a Vet Instead
If your pet is unwell or showing signs of illness, it’s important to book an appointment with one of our vets rather than attending a nurse clinic. This ensures your pet receives the appropriate care.

Home Visits
At Pawsitive Vet Care, we understand that travelling to the vet isn’t always practical or comfortable for every pet or owner. That’s why we offer home visits, bringing expert veterinary care directly to your doorstep.
Home visits provide a personalised, stress-free option for:
- Elderly Pets with Mobility Issues: For pets who struggle to get in and out of the car, home visits make receiving care easier and more comfortable.
- Anxious Pets: Some pets feel much calmer in their home environment, making veterinary care less stressful.
- Compassionate Euthanasia: Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is a deeply emotional moment. Being at home allows for a peaceful and private farewell surrounded by love.
- Owners with Mobility Issues: We’re committed to ensuring all pet owners can access high-quality veterinary care, regardless of mobility.


Our Commitment to Personalised Care
Our roots are in home care—we began as a home visit-only practice in Warwick, and this personalised, compassionate approach remains central to who we are today. Whether it’s for routine check-ups, health concerns, or end-of-life care, we ensure that your pet receives exceptional care in an environment that feels safe and familiar.

Pet Travel Documentation
Planning to travel abroad with your pet? At Pawsitive Vet Care, we’re here to help ensure your journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible by providing the necessary documentation for your pet’s travels.


Animal Health Certificates for Europe
Since the UK is no longer part of the EU Pet Travel scheme, pets travelling to Europe now require an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) prior to each journey. Our veterinary surgeon, Dr. Helen Perryman-Smith, is an Official Veterinarian (OV) authorised to issue AHCs.
An AHC is a detailed document confirming that your pet meets the health and vaccination requirements for travel to the EU. It includes information about:
- Your pet’s microchip
- Their rabies vaccination status
- Any additional treatments required for specific countries
Export Documentation for Companion Animals
In addition to AHCs, Dr. Helen is also authorised to sign export paperwork for companion animals travelling to countries outside of Europe. This ensures your pet complies with the destination country’s regulations for entry.
Plan Ahead for Stress-Free Travel
Pet travel documentation requires careful preparation, so it’s essential to plan ahead. Some vaccinations and treatments need to be completed weeks or even months before travel. Our team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you have everything you need for a seamless journey.


In-house Laboratory
At Pawsitive Vet Care, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care for your pet, which is why we have a fully equipped in-house laboratory. With our advanced Idexx blood and urine machines, we can carry out a wide range of diagnostic tests quickly and accurately, ensuring rapid results when they matter most.


Fast and Accurate Diagnostics
Having the ability to perform diagnostics on-site allows us to take the guesswork out of your pet’s care. We can provide immediate answers, enabling us to diagnose, treat, and monitor your pet without the delays associated with sending samples to an external lab. This is especially important in emergencies when every moment counts.
Our in-house testing capabilities include:
- Haematology: Analysing blood cell counts to detect anaemia, infection, and other conditions.
- Biochemistry: Assessing organ function, including the liver and kidneys.
- Urinalysis and Urine Sediment Analysis: Identifying urinary tract infections and other issues.
- SNAP Tests: Rapid diagnostic tests for specific conditions like parvovirus or pancreatitis.
- Microscopy: Examining cells and samples in detail for parasites, infections, and abnormalities.
Pre-Anaesthetic Safety
Before any surgical procedure, we can perform a pre-anaesthetic blood screen to ensure your pet is fit for anaesthesia. This helps us minimise risks and tailor anaesthetic protocols to your pet’s needs, ensuring their safety during surgery.
Supporting Long-Term Care
For senior pets or those with chronic conditions, our laboratory plays a vital role in ongoing monitoring. Whether your pet is on medication for arthritis, thyroid issues, or heart conditions, we can use a combination of clinical examinations and lab tests to assess their progress and adjust treatments as necessary.
A Key Part of Comprehensive Care
Our in-house laboratory is an integral part of our commitment to your pet’s health. From identifying infections to monitoring medication levels and organ function, it enables us to provide a faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your beloved companion.
