Pet insurance can help cover unexpected veterinary costs — ask about recommended insurance providers.
Yes, Hello Vet Clapton provides microchipping for dogs, cats, and other pets. Microchipping is a legal requirement for all dogs in England. A tiny chip is implanted under the skin between the shoulder blades — the procedure is quick and similar to a vaccination. The chip contains a unique number linked to your contact details on a national database. Keep your details updated if you move or change phone number.
Hello Vet Clapton may treat exotic pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles (snakes, lizards, tortoises), birds, and fish. Not all vets are experienced with exotic species, so call the service to check if Hello Vet Clapton can treat your particular pet. Specialist exotic vets may be available by referral if your pet needs advanced care.

Puppies and kittens need a primary course, followed by annual boosters. Contact the service to book.

Regular dental checks are recommended.

Yes, Hello Vet Clapton provides neutering (spaying for females, castration for males) for dogs, cats, and rabbits.
