Medication administration 

The at-home medication administration service for pets involves calling a professional to come to your home and administer a prescribed treatment to your companion. This service is especially useful for animals requiring regular care or for owners who have difficulty administering medications themselves. Here is a detailed explanation and the associated benefits: 

1. Appointment scheduling:
You contact us to schedule an intervention. This may include a one-time administration or follow-up over several days, depending on the animal's needs.
2. Analysis of the animal's needs:
The professional evaluates the veterinary prescription to understand the specific requirements, such as the type of medication, dosage, frequency, and method of administration (oral, injectable, topical, etc.).
3. Home preparation:
Upon arrival, the professional creates a calm and suitable environment for the animal. They ensure that all necessary equipment (syringes, tablets, topical solutions, etc.) is ready.
4. Medication administration:
The professional administers the treatment following the appropriate methods, such as:

– Médicaments oraux : Tablettes, gélules ou liquides donnés directement ou dissimulés dans de la nourriture.
– Injections : Antibiotique, insuline, ou autres traitements injectables.
– Médicaments topiques : Application de pommades, crèmes ou produits antiparasitaires.
– Soins spécialisés : Perfusions sous-cutanées ou soins post-chirurgicaux.

5. Monitoring and advice:
After administration, the professional monitors the animal for any immediate adverse reactions and provides instructions on the care to be given between visits.

Benefits  

  1. Reduction of stress for the animal: 

Trips to the veterinary clinic can be stressful for many animals. Being treated in a familiar environment reduces anxiety. 

  1. Assurance of correct administration: 

Some treatments, such as injections or medications that are difficult to administer, require specific skills. A professional ensures precise and error-free administration. 

  1. Time-saving for the owner: 

You don't have to travel, which is especially helpful if you have a busy schedule or live far from veterinary services. 

  1. Personalized approach: 

The professional tailors their approach to your pet's temperament and needs, ensuring minimal discomfort and making the experience as positive as possible.

5. Management of complex treatments: 

For care requiring special expertise (infusions, post-operative treatments), the at-home service offers a practical and secure alternative.

  1. Educational support for owners: 

You can learn from the professional how to administer certain medications yourself in the future, receiving practical advice and demonstrations.

7. Comfort for sick or elderly animals: 

Animals with mobility issues, chronic pain, or fragile health receive tailored care without the stress of traveling. 

  1. Continuity of care: 

At-home follow-up ensures that treatment schedules and frequencies are maintained, which is crucial for chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney failure.

This service is ideal for owners who want to ensure quality care for their pets while providing comfort and peace of mind. It also helps strengthen your companion's overall health and well-being.
