Why Should I See My Vet?

At VetPlus we believe vets are best placed to advise on the right course of action for your pet. You know your pet better than anyone and will be able to pick up on subtle changes in them. We recommend taking this knowledge to your vet if you suspect there may be something wrong.

Can I Use a Human Shampoo?

There are some stark differences between human skin and your pets skin, for example the cells in human skin are thicker than that of dogs and our cells regenerate at a faster rate. Because of this, a wider range of chemicals are often found in human shampoos than in those specially formulated for dogs. Speak to your vet for further guidance.
