Take stress out of an appointmen­t with the vet

Home visits for pets change the way we care for our four-legged friends

-

Taking your pet to the vet is not always an easy experience – for your animal or you. Pawsquad has the solution as its vets can examine and treat your pet in the environmen­t where it is most comfortabl­e – your home.

Having been available in England for a couple of years, Pawsquad is now operating in Edinburgh and has just launched in Glasgow.

Visits last 30 to 40 minutes and can cover anything from itchy paws to those important yearly vaccinatio­ns.

Appointmen­ts can be made at a time to suit you, and Pawsquad vets also work with partner practices in your area, so emergency treatment and surgeries are still accessible.

Making use of the latest technology, Pawsquad gives customers an app to keep track of consultati­on notes and your pet’s medical history – and it’s always to hand as you can download it to your phone.

There is also a chat function, putting you in touch with a vet when you need one most, so you’re supported 24/7.

Best of all, Pawsquad allows you the time to build a relationsh­ip with a vet, so they can get to know your pet.

This is key to preventing illness, not just curing it. Home-based consultati­ons cost from £48 and there are no call out fees.

You can use Pawsquad alongside your existing veterinary practice, or have it take over your pet’s care completely.

Pawsquad has limited pet places available in Edinburgh and Glasgow, so if you want to get on its books register now. That way you’re all set for when your pet needs the Pawsquad services.
