A little reminder about MHP 6-monthly health checks and vaccination appointments 🐾
Over the last few weeks, we’ve had a lovely increase in clients using our online booking system. We completely understand how convenient it is to book appointments online, especially when our phone lines can be busy!
We just wanted to clarify one thing, as we’ve noticed a few appointments being booked slightly incorrectly.
💙 MHP 6-monthly health checks are routine nose-to-tail health checks, usually carried out by one of our lovely Veterinary Nurses. These appointments are included as part of your Medivet Healthcare Plan (MHP).
Booster vaccinations must be carried out by a Veterinary Surgeon. Please check your reminder carefully to see if it is just a healthcheck, or healthcheck and vaccination as our nurses are unable to administer vaccinations.
If your pet is poorly, showing new symptoms, or you have concerns about their health, they will need to see a Veterinary Surgeon (vet) rather than booking an MHP health check. Our Veterinary Nurses are unable to diagnose conditions or prescribe medication.
If you book an MHP health check with a nurse but your pet is unwell, we will always do our best to help. However, a vet may not be immediately available, and you may need to wait until a vet is free or arrange another appointment for your pet.
If a vet is available to see your pet during the nurse appointment, this will be treated as a standard veterinary consultation and a consultation fee will apply.
🐶 🐱 Not sure which appointment to book?
Don’t worry! If your pet is unwell or you’re unsure what type of appointment they need, please give us a call and our team will be happy to point you in the right direction.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make sure your pets are seen by the right member of the team at the right time. 💙🐾
