About our Nurse Clinics
We at Lanes Vets have a dedicated experienced team of registered veterinary nurses (RVN) who run their own clinics each day to help keep your pets fit and healthy, with regular check-ups and preventative treatments. Our nurses are keen to offer you impartial, tailored advice on many different topics along with helping you with general nursing care.
If you see a nurse and they are concerned about your pet in any way you will be advised to make an appointment with a Veterinary Surgeon.
Our nurse clinics run on an appointment basis throughout the day.
Please contact your local practice to book your appointment.

It is vital to get your pet vaccinated and maintain their vaccine status throughout their life. When your pet gets their first vaccine this will be with one of our vets, they will then attend other appointments with one of our nurses for their follow up vaccines needed to complete the primary course.

Please note you will need to have prescription reviews with one of the vets every 3 months if this medication is long term.
Post operative checks
After having a surgical procedure our nurses will see patients for post operative checks. These clinics allow the nurses to ensure your pet is recovering well by examining your pets wound and discussing post operative care and any concerns you may have. Routinely these are often carried out at 2 and 10days post-surgery and are included in the price of the procedure so no need to worry about extra costs!

Our dental clinics offer helpful advice on the best way to care for your pet’s teeth and overall oral health, including handy tips on how brush their teeth.
