FAQs
Can a veterinary nurse prescribe medication for my pet?
While veterinary nurses cannot prescribe medication, they can administer it, provide advice on administering it at home, and assist with aftercare. If your pet requires new prescriptions or changes in treatment, a vet will need to examine them.
Does pet insurance cover nurse consultations?
Coverage for nurse consultations is dependent on the specifics of your pet’s insurance policy. We advise verifying with your insurance provider to understand what services are covered.
Our team can supply thorough invoices and paperwork for your insurance claims. For pets insured through GapOnly partners, we can process your claim during your visit, leaving you with only the gap amount to pay.
What happens if my pet needs to see a veterinarian instead of a nurse?
If it becomes apparent during the nurse’s consultation that your pet needs to see a vet, we can usually schedule an appointment on the same day or as soon as possible. Our nurses and vets collaborate to ensure your pet receives the necessary care without delay.
