At home blood pressure monitoring
I use a non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitor to read your pet’s blood pressure. The pettrust monitor is used by many Auckland veterinary clinics.
When monitoring an animal’s blood pressure, it is important that readings are taken in a stress-free situation to avoid inaccurate readings of higher pressure than normal. This is very important when your veterinarian is monitoring the medication dosage in your pet.
I will record your pet’s blood pressure in your home environment, wherever your pet is most comfortable! On the floor, bed, couch or crate, I will assist you wherever necessary.
Why is at home blood pressure monitoring better?
Blood pressure monitoring at home for pets offers several advantages. It reduces stress and anxiety that can occur during veterinary visits, ensuring more accurate readings. Pets may feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, leading to more consistent results. Regular home blood pressure monitoring helps pet owners catch early signs of hypertension or other health issues, allowing for timely intervention. It also provides a way to track the effectiveness of treatment plans between vet visits, ensuring the pet's well-being is continuously monitored. Overall, home monitoring promotes proactive care, enhances peace of mind, and supports better long-term health outcomes for pets.
