Not at all, and above all: no judgment.
Life moves fast, and sometimes monitoring can fly under the radar - that's normal. The most important thing is what we're doing now: working together to reconnect with your pet's health.
During the visit, we check your general health, some key parameters, vaccinations if necessary, and discuss your needs. You leave with a health plan tailored to your pet.

A solution can always be found.
We assess the situation and identify the problems priority, so that your pet receives essential care without causing you any difficulties.
We also collaborate with the SVPA, which can help homeowners in complex financial situations.
The important thing is not to wait until your pet deteriorates: come and discuss it.
It depends on the type of consultation (general, emergency, follow-up, vaccination…).
But we discuss the price before any procedure. An estimate is made on site, and a quote can be provided.
The goal: no surprises and accessible care.

Some animals have a hard time with veterinary visits, but that's not not a problem.
A stressed, defensive or even aggressive animal isn’t “difficult”: it is simply expressing fear, discomfort or sometimes pain.
In the clinic, everything is organised to reduce stress as much as possible:
And if the requested consultation allows it, it is also possible to arrange a home consultation to avoid any stressful travel.
Try not to panic, we're going to help you.
You can :
If they still don’t reappear, then:
Fingers crossed for you!
For a stray dog or cat:
For a wild animal (bird, hedgehog, young fox, etc.) → we are not legally allowed to take them in.
Contact directly:
They are authorised to take in injured wildlife and will guide you on what to do next.
Congratulations! The arrival of a new animal in the home is a moment you remember forever.
The first step, especially if you adopt a dog, is to register them with your local municipality: this is a legal requirement in Switzerland.
Next, I recommend coming in for a paediatric check-up to discuss several key topics:
The goal is simple: to give your new companion (and you) a calm and confident start.
→ See Paediatric care.
This depends on their lifestyle, age, surrounding risks and legal requirements.
I rely on the international WSAVA guidelines to offer you a clear and tailored protocol.
Together, we will establish a vaccination plan based on what is useful and necessary for your companion’s health.
Yes, even a strictly indoor cat must be vaccinated for certain essential vaccines.
Viruses can enter the home via:
In our preventive medicine approach, we always adapt the protocol: we vaccinate only what is necessary for each animal’s lifestyle.
There is no single ideal age for all.
We adapt according to:
In the clinic, we take the time to discuss the right moment, clearly explaining the benefits and points to consider for each animal.

Yes, of course, as long as the diet is balanced, complete and supervised.
I can develop personalized household rations depending on your pet's needs, your desires, and your schedule.
The goal is to avoid deficiencies while respecting your choices.

This is very common and often normal.
Some dogs do it to aid digestion, others simply because they like the taste or out of habit.
But if your dog vomits right after, or does it compulsively, a consultation is recommended.
There is no universal schedule, only individual needs.
I offer personalised parasite prevention plans, adapted to the environment, lifestyle, and the presence of children or vulnerable individuals.
And because we are mindful of the ecological impact, treatments are offered in a considered, useful and eco-responsible approach.
Weight loss "without reason" always warrants a consultation, even if your partner seems fit.
This could be due to:
of a digestive problem,
a chronic or developing illness,
due to a hormonal issue,
or sometimes from a poorly tolerated dietary change.
A clinical examination and sometimes an appropriate blood test can quickly clarify the situation.

As with us, ageing comes with natural changes.
A senior check-up helps anticipate and detect early kidney, heart, pain or mobility issues.
We then adjust diet, activity and treatments if needed.
The goal is simple: more comfort, for longer, through prevention rather than cure.

Maybe... but not necessarily.
Itching can come from:
A skin examination helps identify the source of the problem.

Yes, it could very well be an ear infection, but be careful : not all ear infections are the same.
They do not all have the same causes and do not all require antibiotics.
This is precisely why a full clinical examination is essential.
A good diagnosis avoids inappropriate treatments, limits recurrences, and allows us to target exactly what your animal needs.

A single episode of vomiting is not always serious.
But if the vomiting:
Then a consultation is necessary.
An ultrasound, an X-ray or a blood test may be useful depending on the suspected cause.

It can be difficult to detect pain in animals, especially since some species hide it particularly well.
However, if you notice:
A consultation helps assess the situation and put in place a pain management plan if needed, especially for animals with reduced mobility.
→ See Pain management
These are very important moments, lived with a great deal of emotion.
Whether at the clinic or at home, everything is done to ensure the experience is gentle, calm, painless and unhurried.
Each step is explained, discussed and decided with you.
You always keep the rhythm and space needed to accompany your companion with dignity.

Depending on the destination, your animal may require:
It is recommended to prepare the trip in advance if you are travelling outside the EU.
In consultation, I explain exactly the steps to take depending on your destination.
