Pet Tech and Transport Services LLC provides in-home pet health care services for dogs, cats and small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds) in the Nashua, Hudson and Litchfield areas. Whether your pet needs routine care such as a nail trim or is under the care of a licensed veterinarian for a health issue, we can help.

Families love their pets, but often need assistance when it comes to their pet's routine health care such as monthly nail trimming, ear cleaning, coat care and clipping mats. Often people are not sure how to properly perform these tasks for their pet and simply forget to do it.

Nails should be trimmed on a monthly basis or they will become overgrown. Most pets do not get enough exercise to naturally wear down their nails to an appropriate length. When nails overgrow, it affects your pet's mobility (standing, walking and running) and can place stress and cause pain on their body, from their feet and legs to their neck and backbone. Nails that are severely overgrown, can start to grow into the foot pads, causing injury, pain and even infections. If this starts to occur, please consult your veterinarian to examine and treat the affected nails. So, if you find yourself, skipping the all important monthly nail trim and need a helping hand, give us a call. We can help keep your pet's nails in tip-top shape by trimming them on a regular schedule in your home.

Ears should also be checked on a regular basis and cleaned as needed. Dogs with floppy ears (ex: Spaniels, Labs) are often prone to ear infections and should be monitored carefully for signs of debris, parasites or infection. Head shaking, pawing/scratching/rubbing at ears, sensitivitiy when touched, can all be signs that your pet is having a problem with his ears and should be seen by your veterinarian. For routine ear, cleaning give us a call for assistance. Or, if you find yourself unable to effectively treat your pet's ear infections, with the medication prescribed by your veterinarian, we would be happy to assist you with your pet's at home care.

All pets require regular coat care and brushing to keep them healthy. Brushing helps to remove dirt, loosen hairs from shedding, prevent mats and stimulates the skin and circulation. While some breeds require the services of professional groomers, the coat care needs of many pets can be maintained by their families. However, some pets may need assistance from their owners in order to maintain a healthy, clean coat. Animals that are ill, elderly or overweight, often have a difficult time with hygiene and as a result develop mats in their hair or fur. Mats, as they thicken, will begin to pull on the pet's skin, causing discomfort. In addition, dirt, debris or parasites can become logged in and under the mats, causing irritations which can develop into hot spots and infections (which are often hidden by the mat) and need to be treated by your veterinarian immediately. Proper coat care is essential for your pet's health and well being, so please let us assist you if need some help with maintaining your pet's coat or clipping out mats.

Pets usually are more relaxed in their homes and will accept routine health care more willing. If you find you need assistance with these or other health care issues, please let us help. We can perform these tasks for your pet in your home, on a schedule that is convenient for you. If you would like to learn how to perform your pet's health care, we can teach you how, in the privacy of your home and on your own schedule.

However, when a beloved pet develops a health issue such as diabetes, corneal ulcer (eye), hyperthyroidism, chronic renal failure (kidneys) or has extensive surgery, families are often at a loss for how to properly provide their daily care.

In their life time, many pets will develop a temporary illness or injury requiring care on a short term basis (days or weeks) such as a broken limb, wounds, hot spots, a urinary tract infection or minor surgery. For other pets, a chronic illness such as renal failure or diabetes, means they will require daily care for the rest of their lives.

Even though their veterinarian explains and demonstrates how to care for their ill pet and administer medications or subcutaneous fluids, owners are often too overwhelmed with the task, may be embarrassed to ask for further assistance or hands-on instruction or are afraid they will injure their pet while caring for it. As a result, pets often receive inconsistent care at home, do not receive all of their prescribed medication and have a slow recovery or even relapse from their illness.

If your veterinarian has asked you to perform health care for your chronically ill pet, but you do not feel comfortable doing so, we can help by providing personalized care for your ill pet. Please call or email to discuss your pet's needs, so we can design a schedule that is appropriate for both you and your ill pet, and adheres to your veterinarians instructions.

If you would like to learn how to provide the daily care for your ill pet, we can offer one-on-one instructions in your home. We can teach you the skills you need to safely care for your beloved pet.
