A thorough clinical examination allows us to monitor your Pet for any changes in their health that you may not have noticed. It also provides for the continuity and consistency of care your pet requires.
We can deliver consultations via the following options:
House-calls
Our house-call service is a brilliant choice if you have a very old, sick or easily stressed pet, as it allows them to have a visit in the comfort of their own home.
Telephone & Video (Telehealth)
- Like house calls, this option is excellent for your pet if they’re old, sick or easily stressed or if you don’t live near our clinic.
- We can work with your usual vet to provide holistic pet care integrated into your pet’s existing treatment when required.
- When we use these modes of communication, it's essential that your pet continues to have at least six (6) monthly complete health checks at your regular vet or The Naked Vet. Regular in-clinic checkups ensure we continue to provide the best care possible.
Booking a Telephone or Video Consultation?
- Book your consultation by telephoning the Clinic directly or via our Online Booking Portal. Please specify whether you prefer a telephone or video call, and a link for the consultation will be sent to you (via email?).
- All telehealth consultations must be prepaid. If you ring the Clinic directly to book a telehealth consultation, you will be asked to pay at the time of booking. If you have booked your appointment online, a Staff member will contact you to organise payment.
- Contact your regular vet and request that your pet’s medical history be emailed to us at least 48 hours before your consultation. This includes any blood test, other laboratory results, surgical procedures and current medications.
- Fill out our patient history. This will help us to capture things that may not be articulated in your pet’s medical history from your Vet and means that we get the most complete picture of your pet’s lifestyle and overall health from your perspective.
- Ensure that your pet has been examined by a registered Veterinary Surgeon no more than six (6) months before your consultation with The Naked Vet.
- If your pet requires holistic/herbal medications, they will be sent to you via Express Post within 48 hours of the consultation.
- If your pet requires traditional Western pharmaceutical medication, a prescription will be sent to you via express post within 48 hours of the consultation. These medications can then be purchased from either an online pet pharmacy or, sometimes, your local chemist.
We must obtain your pet's complete medical and surgical history for all new patients before seeing them for the first time.
