Main Content
Routine veterinary care and health checks
One of the most important services any veterinary surgery offers is routine care. Our veterinary team often advises that regular check-ups help us spot small changes before they become bigger problems. This can include changes in weight, skin condition, teeth, mobility, appetite or behaviour.
At Peckham Vets we regularly help owners arrange health checks and clinics for pets of all ages. These visits are not only for pets that are obviously unwell. They are also a useful part of keeping healthy pets well.
Vaccinations and preventative healthcare
Preventing disease is a key part of good veterinary care. Vaccinations, parasite control and regular health reviews all help protect pets throughout the year. Our experienced veterinary team regularly helps local pet owners choose a suitable plan for their dog, cat or rabbit based on age, lifestyle and risk.
You can find out more about our approach to preventative healthcare, including support with flea, tick and worm prevention, annual vaccinations and routine wellness care.
For owners who want to spread the cost of ongoing care, we also offer VIP plans for preventative care, with options tailored to different pets and life stages.
Puppy, kitten and new pet support
Bringing home a new pet is exciting, but it often comes with lots of questions. Many local pet owners ask us about feeding, behaviour, toilet training, socialisation, vaccination timing, parasite treatment and neutering.
At Peckham Vets we regularly help new owners get started with early health checks, practical advice and preventive care. If you have recently welcomed a young pet, our free puppy and kitten health checks can be a helpful first step. Owners can also explore our Puppy VIP Plan and Kitten VIP Plan for ongoing support.
Medical care for illness and ongoing conditions
Not every appointment is about routine care. We commonly see pets with skin problems, ear issues, digestive upset, lumps, mobility changes, weight concerns, urinary problems and age-related changes.
Our veterinary team assesses symptoms, examines your pet and advises on the next steps, which may include monitoring, tests or treatment. In our experience supporting pets across Peckham and South East London, owners often feel more reassured when they know there is a clear plan in place.
We provide day-to-day veterinary care as well as access to advanced surgery and medicine services where appropriate.
Diagnostics and investigations
When a pet is unwell, diagnosis is not always obvious from symptoms alone. Veterinary services often include diagnostic support to help identify what is causing the problem. This may involve a physical examination, urine testing, blood tests or imaging, depending on the clinical signs and your pet’s needs.
At Peckham Vets we regularly help owners understand why investigations are recommended and what information they can provide. Our aim is always to explain findings in a clear, practical way so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.
Surgical procedures
A good local veterinary surgery should also be able to offer surgical care. This includes routine procedures such as neutering, as well as other operations that may be needed to treat injury, illness or ongoing discomfort.
Our experienced veterinary team supports pets requiring both routine and more advanced procedures, with careful planning before surgery and clear aftercare advice afterwards. If your pet needs a procedure, we will talk you through what to expect, recovery time and any follow-up checks that may be needed.
Dental care
Dental disease is very common in pets, but it can easily go unnoticed in the early stages. Bad breath, tartar, red gums, dribbling, difficulty eating or dropping food can all point to a dental problem.
Our veterinary team often advises owners not to wait until their pet seems uncomfortable before booking an assessment. Dental checks form part of routine care, and early advice can make treatment simpler. If you are concerned, you can arrange a consultation through our online booking page.
Care for rabbits and small pets
Veterinary services are not only for dogs and cats. Rabbits and small pets also need regular health checks, preventative care and prompt attention if they are unwell. These pets can become poorly quite quickly, and signs of illness are sometimes subtle.
At Peckham Vets we regularly help with routine rabbit care, dental concerns, weight checks, parasite prevention and advice on housing and diet. Owners can also explore our Bunny VIP Plan for ongoing preventative support.
Emergency and urgent care guidance
Some problems need urgent attention. If your pet is struggling to breathe, has collapsed, is having a seizure, has eaten something toxic, or is in severe pain, contact a vet immediately.
For urgent situations, please use our emergency vetcare information so you can get the right help as quickly as possible.
Support with costs and planning ahead
Veterinary care is an important part of responsible pet ownership, and many owners want to plan ahead for routine and unexpected costs. We offer practical options to help, including information on veterinary prices, 0% finance options where suitable, and preventative plans that can help budget for regular care.

What We Commonly See at Peckham Vets
At Peckham Vets we regularly help owners who are unsure whether their pet needs an appointment now or whether it can wait. One of the most common concerns we hear is, “They seem a bit different, but I can’t tell if it is serious.” Changes in appetite, behaviour, sleeping patterns, mobility or toilet habits are all worth monitoring and, in many cases, discussing with a vet.
Many local pet owners ask us whether indoor cats need routine care, whether rabbits need vaccinations, or whether bad breath in dogs is normal. A common misunderstanding is that pets only need to see a vet when they are visibly ill. In reality, preventive appointments are a big part of keeping pets comfortable and well over the long term.
We also commonly see owners delay advice because they worry they are overreacting. Our local veterinary team would always prefer to answer a sensible question early than see a problem become more difficult later on. If you are new to the area, you can register your pet with Peckham Vets so support is already in place when you need it.
