Pet Check Up Nundah
Regular check-ups are essential for your pet’s health, ensuring your cat or dog stays in peak condition. These visits provide a chance for you to engage with our vet and ask any questions while allowing us to develop a better understanding of your pet’s needs. This proactive approach enables our team to identify potential health concerns early on, equipping you with the knowledge to prevent illnesses before they manifest.
Regular check-ups are crucial for your pet’s health, especially considering that one year of their life can equal about seven of ours. In fact, cats and dogs age significantly faster, reaching maturity in just a couple of years. This accelerated aging can lead to health issues like diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease occurring much earlier than what we see in humans.
By booking routine check-ups with the dedicated team at Plus One Vet Nundah, you can help ensure your pet remains healthy and proactive in preventing serious illnesses, as we firmly believe that prevention is always the best approach.
It is advisable to schedule two health checks for your pet each year to ensure they receive routine vaccinations and necessary examinations while also giving you an opportunity to discuss any concerns.
At Plus One Vet, we will assist you with the required vaccinations during your dog or cat’s first year. Following that, there are several essential annual health checks and vaccinations to keep in mind, including evaluations of your pet’s heart and teeth, as well as tests for parasites.
We will also perform blood tests and urinalysis to monitor for other potential health issues. Once your pet reaches their senior years, typically around age seven, we will suggest additional assessments. We are here to explain what to expect during each visit and are ready to address any questions you may have about your cherished companion.

What is involved with a general vet check up
During a routine general pet check-up, we will take the time to go over your pet’s medical history while inviting any specific questions or concerns you may have about your cat or dog’s overall health, which encompasses physical well-being, nutrition, and behavior.
Since our furry friends cannot express their discomfort verbally, we will carefully observe for any signs of distress and conduct a thorough examination to ensure their health is in check.
Listening to their lungs and heart
Reviewing your pets overall condition, for any evidence of hair loss or dandruff.
Observing your cat or dog’s feet, for damage or signs of a more serious health condition
Observe their stance, gait and weight
Examining your pet’s ears for signs of bacterial infection, ear mites, wax build-up or polyps.
Thorough check of your dog or cat’s teeth for any signs of periodontal disease, damage or decay.
Checking your pet’s skin for issues like parasites, dryness, lumps and bumps.
Checking your pet’s body for any swelling, evidence of lameness or signs of pain.

Dog health check up
Our team can guide you on the ideal health check schedule tailored to your dog’s needs. In the initial years, general check-ups will maintain a consistent routine; however, as your dog enters their senior years, typically starting around age seven, we will recommend additional assessments for conditions such as osteoarthritis and thyroid issues. A chest radiograph will also be performed to monitor your pet’s health and identify any potential problems early on.
We remain committed to answering any queries you may have to ensure your dog stays happy and healthy.
Cat check ups
Ongoing wellness checks for cats will continue number of years following their vaccinations. However, when cats are aged 7 and older, we will conduct additional checks for osteoarthritis, renal disease, blood pressure and thyroid.
Dr Leo and the team at Plus One Vet are highly experienced and understand how important your four-legged friend is to you, so we ensure every time you visit our practice we provide the time, care and passion to ensure we are looking after the total well being of your pet.
