Vet Nurse on Wheels

Other

Bonnie is super friendly to both humans and pets alike, she is conscientious, informative, and my kitty trusts her; so I am happy to highly recommend the Vet Nurse on Wheels to other pet-loving people of the Nelson-Tasman area.

Couldn't be happier with Bonnie.   She's wonderful with my cat and, 
 as always,  a very helpful and pleasant girl.

Bonnie is extremely good with my cat.   Heidi has always been frightened of people,  yet in a very short rime she has become quite relaxed with Bonnie.   She is a very caring and helpful girl.

Bonnie is fantastic with Millie. Would happily recommend her to other pet owners. Very caring and gains the trust of her clients 🐈

Nurse Consultation

Follow Up

A weight consultation to assess your pet's body condition and how we can alter this if needed. Your pet's energy requirements will be worked out and how this translates to the food you're currently feeding, and this will be sent via email, including any additional recommendations and notes.

Please note: if your pet has not been seen by a veterinarian for over a year, I highly recommend they be seen prior to putting them on a diet or booking a consultation with me. This is to ensure the safety of your pet and rule out any potential issues. 

Weight loss for pets needs to be precise and done in a slow, methodical matter to prevent serious health issues, particularly with cats. 

I can only check weights of pets under 25kg. Typically small and small/medium sized pets. All others will need to be weighed free-of-charge at a veterinary clinic.

Follow-Up Weight Check

Sometimes you know your pet is getting older, but don't know what to look out for or when the right time is. Perhaps you know that it's their time, but need some support to help put your mind at ease. Our consultation can help with these scenarios by evaluating your pet in their current condition, education around behaviour and physiological changes that occur as their body ages or declines. Our consultation will also help provide answers on what to look out for, what to expect when the time comes and general support in a difficult time. Handouts can be given to help with determining your pets' condition on a daily/weekly basis.

Euthanasia Support Consultation

To assess the mouth and teeth for any abnormalities and advise if a dental treatment or vet visit may be needed. 
Education (demonstration if required) on how to take care of our pet's teeth and products that may be useful.
