Preventative Care for Happier, Healthier Pets in West Ryde

At Nimble Veterinary Hospital, we believe prevention is always better than cure. Regular health checks are one of the simplest — and smartest — ways to keep your pet feeling their best and catch any little niggles before they become big (and expensive) problems.

Think of it like a wellness check-up for your furry family member — keeping tails wagging, purrs going strong, and you feeling confident about their care.

Why Regular Health Checks Matter

Pets are pretty good at hiding pain or illness (it’s a survival instinct thing). What looks like a “lazy day” or “getting older” can sometimes be a sign of an underlying issue.

That’s where our health checks come in.

A full pet health check with our experienced vets can help detect:

  • Dental disease
  • Ear or skin conditions
  • Weight or nutrition concerns
  • Early arthritis or mobility issues
  • Heart or respiratory changes
  • Lumps or bumps that need checking
  • Parasites or coat/skin changes
  • Age-related issues like kidney or liver disease

And most importantly — they give us time to answer your questions, provide tailored advice, and keep your pet’s health plan on track.

What Happens During a Health Check?

Every pet health check is a little different, but typically includes:

  • Full nose-to-tail examination
  • Weight and body condition check
  • Dental check
  • Heart and respiratory assessment
  • Skin and coat check
  • Joint and mobility review
  • Discussion around diet, behaviour, lifestyle & preventative care

We’ll chat to you about any concerns, answer those “is this normal?” questions, and recommend any next steps if needed — from blood tests to nutrition tweaks. 

How Often Should My Pet Have a Health Check?

We recommend: 

  • Young, healthy pets — once a year (often combined with their vaccination visit)
  • Senior pets (7+ years) — every 6 months
  • Pets with ongoing conditions — as advised by your vet

Regular visits help us build a complete picture of your pet’s health over time — and can add years of quality life to their story.
