Preventative Treatments

We advise that flea, tick and worming treatments are done regularly for your cats and dogs. Booking in for initial vet appointments Kent means we can assess your pet before recommending the best kind of treatment. These parasites can be contracted from anywhere or anything and that’s why we recommend that you keep on top of treating your pets so that they don’t develop other issues due to contracting them.

Microchipping

You can book your pet in for a regular consultation to have a microchip fitted. They don’t require any medication and it’s a fairly painless procedure so vet appointments Kent can cover the time needed for microchipping. They receive a little microchip under the skin, typically in between their shoulders. They may feel a pinch but then the job is done. Microchipping your dog is mandatory for all pet owners. Protect your pet from theft, and increase the chances of them being returned to you if they go missing, with microchiping.

Neutering

Neutering is another preventive care method that comes with many benefits. Neutering cats, dogs, rabbits and other small creatures not only controls unwanted litters but has many health benefits. Reduce the chances of your pet contracting diseases in the reproductive system, and improve their behaviour and habits with their hormones more stabilised. Vet appointments Kent should be made in advance, to ensure your pet can have a health check, and these procedures are best performed in their early years. So puppies, kittens and bunnies are more commonly neutered in their first few months.

Vaccinations

Vaccinating your pet is another essential way of preventing diseases and conditions. Booking vet appointments Kent for their first, second and booster vaccinations means their health is more likely to remain in good condition.

Dental Care

Our pet’s oral care is just as important as the rest of their health. Booking vet appointments Kent means you can have checkups or seek advice for your dogs, cats and rabbits' teeth. We offer advice that prevents dental disease and recommends food, toys or practices that improve their oral hygiene.

Pet Weight Management

Booking your pet in for advice on weight management is important if you notice they’ve lost a few pounds, or put on a few. Checking up on them is best to ensure they have no serious underlying condition, or that their weight doesn’t affect something else like joint conditions and breathing.

Operations and Procedures

Want to get your pet checked over or referred for surgery? Sandhole performs operations and procedures that are performed to the best of our team's ability. Their condition is closely monitored and their aftercare is also prioritised. Referrals for these procedures require vet appointments Kent, so booking in for your pet’s health check means we can diagnose and refer for the best treatments.

What Is Pet Microchipping?

Pet microchipping is a process in which a small, electronic chip is implanted under the skin of a pet, typically between the shoulder blades. This chip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by a special device. The information linked to this number is stored in a database, allowing pet owners to be easily reunited with their lost pets. Microchipping is a safe and effective way to ensure that your pet can be identified and returned to you in case they go missing. It is a simple procedure that can be done by a veterinarian and provides peace of mind for pet owners. Sandhole advocates the importance of microchipping your pets as it’s a preventive method that’s safer for your pet, should they ever go missing.

So, What’s The Importance of Microchipping Your Pet?

Firstly, it’s important to note that the data and contact information that’s stored in the database of your pet’s microchip is correct and up to date. Should you move address or change phone numbers, you should inform your vet practice as soon as possible so that you can be notified when your pet is found.

The importance of microchipping your pet as a preventative treatment is that it gives peace of mind and could make the difference between your pet returning to you or not if it’s stolen or lost. Microchipping is a legal requirement for dogs and will soon be required for cat owners too. Ensuring the safety of your pet is one of many responsibilities as a pet owner, and is one of the simplest procedures.

Hope Does the Microchipping Procedure Work?

The importance of microchipping your pet is significant and is an easy, quick procedure. You don’t need a long appointment and no sedation is necessary. Your pet will have the chip fitted quickly under the skin of their neck and shoulder area. They may only feel a pinch, or nothing at all. Once this is done, there is no aftercare required or medication, just give your pet lots of cuddles to reassure them!

You will need to fill out a form with all of your details, this will usually happen before the appointment before you go in with your pet.
