A local veterinary practice is launching a pet wellness campaign to help cats and dogs live healthier happier lives and to pick up any signs of illness that will benefit from early treatment.
Throughout January, the practice is offering a free wellness consultation with a vet or nurse, as well as a half-price PitPat activity monitor for dogs, so clients can track and tailor their pet’s exercise routine.
During each pet’s free consultation, the team at Torbridge Vets will use a life stage assessment to review the pet’s health, based on their age.

Their human guardians will then receive tailored advice on nutrition, exercise and preventative care to keep their pet thriving.
Kirsty Hambley, head veterinary surgeon at Torbridge Vets Bideford, said: “January is the perfect time for a fresh start and a focus on health, and that includes your pets.
“During the free consultation, we will carefully evaluate each pet who comes through our door to identify how their overall health can be improved and detect any underlying conditions early.
“Our team will then provide expert advice and support, to help every owner take those first steps towards a healthier lifestyle for their pets.”

In partnership with PitPat, a leading GPS tracker provider, dogs will also receive a 50% discount voucher to purchase a PitPat activity monitor.
Pet owners can use this app to help monitor and tailor their dog’s activity to their individual needs, as well as receive personalised exercise advice from experts at PitPat.
