What is Pet Maintenance?
Regular maintenance is a cornerstone of responsible pet ownership. It keeps your companion clean, healthy, and content — and it prevents costly vet visits later. Whether it’s a silky-coated dog, fluffy bunny, or serene aquarium setup, a simple maintenance plan booked through PetCloud ensures their wellbeing across all five domains of care.
What Is Included in a Pet Maintenance Home Visit?
During a Pet Maintenance booking, the Pet Professional can perform a range of in-home tasks such as:
- Washing, drying, and brushing your pet - Removes loose fur, dirt, and prevents matting and skin issues.
- Grinding or Trimming nails and cleaning ears or eyes - Reduces discomfort and helps avoid ear infections or posture problems.
- Brushing teeth - Regular brushing prevents bacteria and plaque build up leading to gum disease, which can enter the blood stream and impact vital organs.
- Cleaning pet habitats - Includes cat litter trays, bird cages, rabbit hutches, hosing balconies, or small-animal enclosures or backyard poo patrol
- Fish tank or aquarium cleaning - Includes partial water changes, filter cleaning, and algae removal to maintain water quality.
- Basic coat clipping or de-matting- Keeps your pet’s coat manageable and comfortable between full grooming sessions.
- Eye and Hygiene Area clipping around the eyes and hygiene area or paw pads
- Paw Pad Checks - Cracked paw pads can be moisturised. Checks for Grass seeds. Grass seeds can become lodged and cause absesses in between paw pads, and can travel through the body and end up in the heart or lungs
Each maintenance visit can be customised to suit your pet’s breed, size, and living environment.
Hourly rate: Pet Maintenance visits are charged by the hour, allowing flexibility for single pets or multiple pets in one session.
Home-visit convenience: The Pet Professional comes directly to your home — no transport stress for you or your pet.
