Some health changes are not obvious during normal daily life. A veterinary health check can help you discuss your pet's weight, oral health, behaviour and other concerns, while screening tests may provide additional information when clinically appropriate.
What check-up packages does Broadway Vet offer?
Our current advertised health check packages for cats and dogs are Basic NZ$259, Standard NZ$299 and Comprehensive NZ$399. They are designed around different life stages and needs; your vet can help determine whether a package or a tailored consultation is more suitable.
How do the packages differ?
The advertised Basic package includes a veterinary consultation and oral examination, blood count and biochemistry screening, and a bladder ultrasound. The Standard package adds a wider biochemistry panel plus urine and blood pressure checks. The Comprehensive package expands blood chemistry further and includes an electrolyte assessment. The exact test selection, clinical suitability and any extra procedures should be confirmed with the team.
Which package suits a young, adult or senior pet?
The Basic package is positioned for younger, generally healthy pets; Standard for many active adult pets; and Comprehensive for older pets or those with additional health concerns. Age alone does not determine which tests are indicated. A veterinarian should advise based on history, examination and any symptoms.
What should I prepare before a health check?
Write down changes you have noticed in thirst, appetite, weight, mobility, urination, stool, activity or behaviour. Bring the names of medicines and supplements. Ask our team whether any fasting or urine-sample instructions apply to your booking; do not withhold medicines without veterinary advice.
Does a screening package replace diagnosis or treatment?
No. Screening can help identify findings worth investigating, but no package can rule out every disease. Unexpected results may require further examination, repeat testing, treatment or referral at additional cost.
