THE GVC PET HEALTH CLUB – PREMIUM PET CARE FOR LESS! HOW PLANNING AHEAD PAYS OFF AND HELPS YOU KEEP YOUR PETS HEALTHY! So, what is the GVC Pet Health Club? I hear you ask… Simply put, it’s an innovation from the team at GVC that combines the very best service in pet healthcare with unbeatable value; Premium Pet Care at Preferential Prices (if you will). In this article, Dr. Katrin Jahn, Head Veterinary Doctor at GVC, explains the concept of the GVC’s new Pet Health Club and how it will benefit both you and your pet. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE Best Veterinary Clinic in Abu Dhabi - The saying “prevention is better than cure” is applicable to so many areas, whether it’s your car, your A/C, or yourself, it’s always far better to
have a regular planned check-up and keep in good health, than a critical repair when things go wrong. Veterinary Center in Abu Dhabi - The same applies for your perfect pets, especially as they cannot always let you know when they’re feeling bit under the weather. The ideal solution is regular time with a veterinary professional to keep tabs on your furry friend’s health and wellbeing. With a few scheduled visits a year you are much more likely to avoid potential ill-health. To be clear, we’re not talking about waiting for the next sniff or limp to book an appointment, we’re referring to those standard scheduled visits that can (and do) make all the difference.
“Preventative healthcare is a central part of companion animal veterinary medicine of the 21st century. An important part of the ‘annual health check’ is ensuring that pets are appropriately protected from infectious disease by vaccination.” – FECAVA President Dr. Wolfgang Dohne
BOOK IN FOR VACCINATIONS Pet Clinics in Abu Dhabi - When it comes to keeping your pet healthy, vaccines really are a must. Add in an annual health check, a dental appointment and (especially for dogs) an external parasite treatment, and you’re looking at four routine opportunities for a healthcare professional to spend a little quality time with your pet and better recognise how they are. Pet transport Abu Dhabi - Now, we appreciate that sometimes the costs can add up, and especially if you have a multiple four-legged family, the idea of four vet bills a year per
pet can be enough to bring out the cold sweats… which brings me neatly back to the Pet Health Club. HOW IT WORKS
Pet grooming in Abu Dhabi - With a one-time annual membership fee you can join the Pet Health Club and take advantage of a myriad of magnificent membership perks… that include; ● A whopping 50% reduction on annual vaccines ● One FREE annual nurse health check per pet ● 25% reduction on external parasite treatments and de-worming ● 10% off on dental treatments ● 10 % off all food and merchandise items Cat Friendly clinics in Abu Dhabi - And goes on to include preferential rates on grooming, cat and dog boarding and K-Laser treatmentsas well as free home visits and delivery (on orders placed over AED 300.00)… and that’s just for starters…
Cattery in Abu Dhabi - We started out wanting to provide the very best for your pets and then added in what we think will really work for you. The result is a flexible Pet Health Club membership that provides choice and rewards across the spectrum of GVC services. Moving my pet to Abu Dhabi - We know that all pets are individuals, and all have their own needs and personalities, so it’s perhaps not realistic to prescribe a “one size fits all” healthcare solution. However, we also know that all animals benefit from regular interaction with a veterinary professional and we want to make this as accessible and viable as possible. And so, the PHC from GVC was born… an innovation in Pet Care provision.
5 TOP TIPS FOR RAISING A HAPPY, HEALTHY CAT HOW CAN CAT OWNERS HELP THEIR FELINE FRIENDS TO LIVE A HEALTHY AND FULFILLED LIFE? Best Veterinary Clinic in Abu Dhabi - As we all know, being chosen by a cat is a privilege and an honour… it is certainly not to be taken lightly and for those of us lucky enough to
have been selected as suitable feline companions, we should always be thinking of how best we can serve support our feline friends. Veterinary Center in Abu Dhabi - In this article, Dr. Katrin Jahn, Head Veterinary Doctor at GVC, discusses why feline health and happiness are so closely linked and shares her team’s 5 top tips for any cat owner wanting to do the best for their cat.
THINK BEYOND THE BASICS Pet relocation Abu Dhabi - There are many considerations that we can and should be doing naturally as part of our responsibilities and if we think in simple terms then the ability to provide a safe, clean and healthy environment is always going to be the foundation to start from, throw in the essentials of food and clean drinking water and we’re certainly off to a good start.
Pet grooming in Abu Dhabi - However, to really make a difference and become not just a home giver but a meaningful and positive part of our cats’ lives, we need to think beyond the basics and look at how and where happiness can be created and nurtured.
As we all know, every cat has its own unique personality and there is no one-size fits all approach…. But there are a few common tips that will always be well-received! “The affection from a happy cat can be like no other pleasure that we will receive, and really is the gift that keeps on giving.” HEAD NURSE NORA’S 5 TOP TIPS Take a read through these top 5 tips below (provided by our Head Nurse Nora, who we think may well be part feline), in no particular order:
1. LOVE Moving my pet to Abu Dhabi - Lots of pet owners think cats are “easier” or “lower maintenance” than dogs and that they require less care. This may be true of walks and exercise, but we have to remember cats cherish their time with us – over thousands of years they have CHOSEN to domesticate themselves with us, which is very special. So we need to recognise the privilege and make time for affection, relaxation and play with our cats.
2. PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE Moving my pet to UAE - The truism in health that prevention is better than cure applies very much to all animals, but cats can be particularly stoic and not always present outward symptoms of pain and/or suffering. We can prevent fatal diseases and nasty parasites by simple and regular routine visits to the vets, it’s easy and the best first line of any pet’s health care (watch this space, as GVC will be soon launching our “Pet Health Club ” annual care package!) 3. DIET Pet relocation services in Abu Dhabi - And we don’t just mean WHAT we feed our feline friends…. But HOW we feed these wonderful creatures… Cats are SOLITARY HUNTERS (as well as obligate carnivores). The hunting aspect in particular is extremely important and can help to teach us the correct ways to feed. Helping a cat to act out its natural tendencies and impulses can support positive play and avoid frustration based behavioural issues. Like us humans, cats really do like to keep their minds occupied and healthy (and yes, even when snoozing all day).
4. GROOMING Pet relocation Dubai - Brushing your cat promotes bonding (see point 1), besides the obvious aesthetic and comfort reasons. It really is enjoyable and relaxing for your cat. Using the correct brush is key. Grooming for cats is also a crucial welfare issue, it can make the difference between comfort and being stricken by crippling matts (especially in long haired breeds). It is best started from a young age but also has a huge place to play for senior cats who may struggle to self-groom.
5. DENTAL CARE Pet transportation services in Dubai - Dental disease is a silent epidemic extremely prominent in cats and can be greatly reduced by diligent dental care at home. Regular checks at the vets are also essential and it is probable that many cats will need dental work done surgically every 3-4 years (please do keep this in mind as your cats’ health and
happiness can literally depend on it). Look out for more dental tips coming soon on our blogs page. Pet relocation Dubai - This is an area that we are all verrrrry passionate about at GVC and can talk about in huge detail. This may not seem as “fun” or exciting as the first four points, but dental care may well be the most crucial thing that we can all positively impact but that is so often overlooked. Pet transportation - Now, we know that none of the above are beyond every cat lover’s ability. As the first clinic in the Middle East to receive the ISFM Gold Standard
Cat-Friendly Clinic award, we recommend regular checks at GVC because feline health and happiness are inseparably intertwined. The fact is that by accepting a fantastic feline into our homes we are making a commitment that is worth every dirham spent in the joy and love they bring.
