Vet nurse clinics
We offer all our pet owners Vet Nurse Clinics in Bruton.
These are hosted by our kind and qualified veterinary nurses who will help you with many aspects of pet care and health, such as Routine Pet Care, Dental Care and Weight & Nutrition. If you would like to join them call Bruton Vets to book an appointment. In the clinics you will have time to voice any of the more routine pet care concerns you may have. Our nurses can also be helpful in noticing symptoms of health conditions before they become more serious if left untreated. There is a minor charge if any minor procedures are required, such as nail clipping.

Dental care clinic
Routine dental care checkups are recommended every three months. Our veterinary nurses will be able to demonstrate pet dental care aids. This will include enzymatic toothpastes, supplements, dental foods, dental chews and toys, as well as showing you how to carry out tooth brushing. An individual dental care plan can be advised to prevent dental disease in your pet. Occasionally rabbits and guinea pigs teeth may become overgrown and these will need to be trimmed so they can eat. Caged bird’s beaks may also require trimming. Sometimes this problem is due to diet. Our veterinary nurse will offer you advice on how to use diet to help this condition, as well as arranging for the vet to carry out the clipped required.
