Nurse Clinics


Our Nurses

At Drove we are proud to have a dedicated team of professionally qualified Veterinary Nurses who consult alongside our vets. Veterinary Nurses play a crucial role within our practice and perform a number of important procedures. Many of our nurses specialise in specific areas of pet care and animal behaviour and run regular clinics in the following areas:

Weight & Diet

Being overweight has become very common in our pets. If this is affecting your cat or dog, please ask about our nurse led consultations. With bespoke advice, dietary recommendations and regular weigh-ins, we can help you get back on track to a healthier, happier pet.

Dental Care

Confident Cat Clinic

Cats often display unusual behaviours when they are stressed or unhappy about something. Our Cat Clinics are run by our nursing team who are qualified in behavioural difficulties and how to deal with them.

Arthritic Care

Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that can cause pain and swollen joints. It is a very common condition that can happen in any breed of pet and at any age. Our team of nurses can provide advice on daily management and other treatments that can help your pet live their life to the fullest.

Desensitisation Clinics

Regular check ups are so important to help keep your dog healthy throughout their lifetime. However, we know that visiting the vets can be stressful for some of our patients, which is why our nursing team run clinics to help your dog get used to visiting us.

Cold Laser Therapy
