So what can our VNs do for you and your pet?

Registered Veterinary Nurses carry out rigorous training, varying from 2 – 4 years depending on their qualification. This includes placements within veterinary practices and numerous examinations. They also partake in Continued Professional Developement (CPD) to keep up to date with new developments and techniques within the profession. This means they can give your pet the highest standard of care.

VN’s can help you with lots of things. They can give you advice regarding flea and worming treatment, nutrition, dental health and behavioural concerns. Our VN’s also carry out weight clinics and can give advice about obesity management.

At Hollybank you can see our nurses for puppy and kitten clubs, post operative checks and monitoring as well as procedures such as nail trims.

Our VN’s also carry out many tasks behind the scenes, including monitoring anaesthetics, caring for, monitoring and administering medication to inpatients, taking blood samples, assisting the veterinary surgeon during operations and taking radiographs, to name but a few. They are an important part of providing care for your pet when they are in the hospital with us.
