In-Home Veterinary Nursing: The Ultimate Care for Your Pet at Home
Welcome to the world where quality pet care meets the comfort and tranquility of your own home. In-home veterinary nursing is an innovative approach that brings medical care for pets directly into the home environment. At Felix and Fido, we specialize in offering professional, compassionate in-home nursing services to pets in need, ensuring they receive the gold standard of care without the stress of unnecessary clinic visits.
What is In-Home Veterinary Nursing?
In-home veterinary nursing encompasses a range of medical and supportive care services provided by Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) at your residence. This approach is designed to cater to pets that may become anxious or overwhelmed in a clinical setting and for owners who prefer the convenience and personalized attention of at-home care.
Our Extensive Range of Services
We offer a myriad of services aimed at promoting your pet's optimal health and recovery:
Post-Surgical Care
Following surgery, pets often require diligent care and monitoring. Our team provides hands-on support, from managing pain and administering medications to monitoring incisions and assisting with mobility as your pet recuperates comfortably at home.
Medication Administration and Instruction
Understanding and administering medications can be confusing. Our RVTs will not only administer medications as required, including injections, but will also educate pet owners on how to do so safely and effectively, ensuring that you're fully prepared to take over when needed.
Navigating Home Care
Transitioning from hospitalization to home care can be daunting. Felix and Fido's team helps simplify this transition by guiding you through the setup of a home care routine tailored to your pet's specific needs.
Wound Care
Wound management is critical for recovery. Our in-home nursing services include wound care, dressing changes, and monitoring for signs of infection or complications.
Palliative Care
When pets face chronic conditions or terminal illnesses, our compassionate palliative care ensures they remain comfortable by managing symptoms and pain, and providing already prescribed medical attention in their familiar surroundings.
Specialized Care for Geriatric Patients
Older pets often have specific needs that require gentle, patient-focused care. Our personalized approach takes into account the unique challenges faced by geriatric patients to enhance their quality of life.
Routine Care Services
We also cover routine care that can be difficult for some pet owners to perform at home, such as sanitary clips or shaves, nail trims, and expressing anal glands, making the maintenance of your pet's health and hygiene convenient and stress-free.
Collaboration with Your Vet
At Felix and Fido, collaboration is key. We work closely with your pet's existing veterinarian, following their prescribed treatment plans meticulously. After each visit, detailed notes are sent back to the vet, ensuring they are kept up-to-date with the healing process. This continuous communication allows for seamless integration of our care with your pet's overall medical file.
