Where does the pet health check take place?

Pet health checks take place at the RVC Beaumont Sainsbury Animal hospital (in Camden, London) where all of your pet’s needs can be catered for Can I book a health check for any type of pet?
Yes – not only do we have a team of experienced small animal vets who focus on cats and dogs, we also have a specialist exotics team who can provide health checks for more unusual pets including birds, rodents and reptiles.

How often should my pet have a health check?

All pets should have a full health check once per year (usually at the time of their annual vaccination). We recommend that older pets (cats over ten years, dogs over eight years old) are checked every six months as they can be prone to developing age related health conditions
