Preventative health checks and vaccinations

Protecting your pet through preventive care

As a devoted pet owner, one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your companion’s long-term health is protecting them from preventable diseases. Vaccinations are a cornerstone of proactive veterinary care, shielding pets from common illnesses that can lead to serious complications or even become life-threatening.

At Triovet, we are committed to helping you keep your cats, dogs and rabbits safe and healthy. Our vaccination services are designed to provide clear guidance on recommended schedules, the conditions vaccines help prevent and why immunisation is essential to your pet’s wellbeing.

Why Vaccinations Matter

Vaccines work by strengthening your pet’s immune system; preparing it to recognise and fight off harmful bacteria and viruses. By introducing a harmless version of a pathogen*, vaccines train the body to respond effectively if exposed in the future. Benefits include:

• Individual protection against serious diseases such as; leptospirosis, distemper and myxomatosis
• Community health by reducing the spread of contagious illnesses among animals and in some cases; humans
• Peace of mind for pet owners who want to give their companions the best chance at a long and vibrant life

*a pathogen is a tiny organism (like a virus or bacteria) that can cause disease. It’s basically a germ that has the ability to make animals or people unwell.

What is otoscopy?

An otoscopy is one of the ways we make sure your pet’s ears stay healthy and comfortable. It’s a simple procedure where we use a small tool called an otoscope — equipped with a light and a magnifying lens or camera — to look gently inside your pet’s ear canal and check the eardrum. This gives our team a clear view of what’s happening deeper in the ear, helping us diagnose issues accurately and choose the best treatment for your pet.

Why do we perform otoscopy?

We may recommend an otoscopic exam if your pet is showing signs that their ears are bothering them. Some common reasons include:
• Chronic ear infections: Ongoing or recurring infections that don’t fully clear up.
• Scratching or head shaking: Pets who seem unusually irritated by their ears.
• Ear discharge: Any unusual fluid, especially if it has a smell or odd colour.
• Changes in hearing: Reduced responsiveness or suspected hearing loss.
• Redness or swelling: Visible irritation or inflammation inside the ear.
• Head tilt or balance changes: Loss of balance, persistent tilting or circling.

Our aim is always to make the experience as gentle and stress free as possible while getting to the root of the problem quickly, so your pet can feel like themselves again.
