International Cat Day Event – Tuesday 9th August

Why my dog inspired me to do senior nurse consults.

My dog, Calvin, has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my journey as a veterinary nurse. From the early years of my career, the experiences we’ve shared have shaped my understanding of animal care across different life stages.

As Calvin has entered his senior years, his needs have evolved, requiring thoughtful adjustments to support his comfort and wellbeing. Implementing small but meaningful changes, such as shorter walks, installing pet stairs, updating his medications and routines, and tailoring his diet – has helped him navigate this stage of life with greater ease.

Through this process, our bond has deepened, and I’ve become more attuned to his subtle cues and requests for support. This experience has reinforced my passion for senior pet care and inspired me to support other pet owners in providing the same level of comfort and quality of life for their ageing companions.

I am committed to helping both pets and their owners have a positive, fulfilling experience during the senior years, and I hope that through my senior nurse consults, I can make a meaningful difference in their lives.
