Benefits of wellness plans

At The Hoxton Vet, we take a holistic, preventative approach to your pet’s health with check-ups offered as part of our packages.

Routine check-ups, including weight and general health monitoring, help us catch potential issues early. This gives your pet the best chance at a long, healthy life.

Each health check will check your pet’s:

  • Behaviour

  • Gait and movement

  • Weight and body condition

  • Hydration status

  • Temperature

  • Heart and lung rate, sounds and pulses

  • Peripheral lymph nodes

  • Eyes and vision, ears and canals

  • Skin and coat condition. This includes a flea and tick check and thorough investigation for any lumps, bumps or changes.

  • Teeth and Gums

  • Abdominal palpation. This means gently feeling the tummy and inside organs.

  • We also perform an annual urine test to monitor kidney function.

Preventative medicine.

Preventative care supports a happy and long life. At The Hoxton Vet we administer your pet’s annual vaccinations and provide year round protection against parasites.

Regular treatment using veterinary strength prescription-only medicines eliminates the risk of infection and disease.

Independent, client-focused care

Run by vets, not corporations, so your pet’s wellbeing always comes first.

Vaccinations.

At The Hoxton Vet, we only administer the vaccines that are necessary to maintain your pet’s immunity. We use trusted, licensed vaccines that provide:

  • Three years of protection against Parvovirus, Canine Hepatitis, and Distemper

  • Annual Leptospirosis boosters—we use the latest vaccine covering all four strains of the disease, especially important for dogs who swim or travel

  • Kennel Cough protection administered intranasally, mimicking natural exposure and offering the most effective defence—even if your dog has never stepped inside a kennel

Vaccinations are reviewed at each annual check to ensure your pet only receives what they truly need.

Parasite Control.

We build your pet’s parasite prevention plan based on their age, breed, lifestyle, and environment—whether they’re a frequent traveller, park explorer, or homebody.

External Parasites

Fleas, mites, and ticks can cause more than just itching—they spread disease and can quickly infest your home.
Only 5% of a flea population is found on your pet—the other 95% lives in the environment, making consistent protection essential.

Internal Parasites

Even if your dog seems healthy, they could still be hosting harmful worms.
Roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, lungworm, tapeworm—these can live undetected for weeks or months, damaging the heart, lungs, digestive system, and other organs.

  • Lungworm, in particular, can be fatal if left untreated

  • Some parasites can also transmit to humans, making prevention important for the whole family

We use prescription-only treatments—safe, effective, and far more reliable than over-the-counter options.
