Project Description

Nutrition

The food our pet’s eat can influence their physical and mental wellbeing and needs to be taken seriously.

Dr Katie is very interested in the impact on food, and the way it is offered to pets, on animal behaviour. She is more than happy to discuss your pet’s food; dogs, cats, rabbits and other small furries. Food can be used as a fantastic enrichment improving pet’s quality of life.

Whether you feed dry or wet food, home cooked or Raw Dr Katie can discuss the pros and cons of each specific to your pet.

One of the big indicators as to whether it suits your pet is their poo! But we also want to ensure that your pet is happy eating it and that they are thriving on it.

We sell our own brand high quality, grain free dog food through our training branch Positive Pet Training and you can see more about it here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see our frequently asked questions  below. If you have any other questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Vet care in your own home takes away the stress of travel, an unfamiliar place and other animals for your pet. Many dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals are extremely stressed in the veterinary environment. This can make examination and treatment very difficult and cause further problems down the line with repeated negative experiences.
These visits are also often stressful for people, can be inconvenient times and difficult to get to if you don’t have access to transport. Instead at home you don’t have to worry about time wasted travelling or waiting in the waiting room. You can get on with your life at home and Dr Katie will arrive and start the consult straight away.

Our consults are usually 30-45 minutes long. This allows lots of time for getting to know you and your pet, a low stress exam and plenty of time for consults!
In the clinic you will often be allocated only a 10 minute appointment which is a rush to fit in history taking, clinical exam, treatment, questions and history writing! You don’t need to feel that rush with Positive Pet Mobile Vet and Dr Katie is always more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Dr Katie is based in Whiston, Staffordshire Moorlands and works around a 25 minute radius from there.
Covering Cheadle, Leek, Ashbourne, Tean, Endon, Denstone and villages in between.
Zone One and Zone Two areas can be seen here.
Further visits can be arrange but an additional surcharge will be applied. Please contact us to discuss if you are out of area.

Home vet visits are no designed for emergency situations. In a true emergency it is likely your pet will require hospitalisation for further work up and stabilisation (e.g. blood tests, x-rays, IV fluids).
So please ring Lime Trees Veterinary Clinic on 01782 385285.
Their hospital in Meir also host VetsNow for out of hours cover.

Dr Katie mainly sees dogs, cats and rabbits. Guinea pigs, small ferries (e.g. hamster, rats, gerbils, mice) and tortoises can also be seen but for more complex cases Dr Katie would recommend seeing an exotic pet specialist vet.
