Pet care services
I am proud to offer a range of professional pet care services across the Bedfordshire area, tailored to meet the individual needs of you and your pet. As a fully mobile service, I come directly to your home which allows your pet to remain in their own familiar environment, where they feel safest and most relaxed without the stress of transportation.
This approach is especially beneficial for pets who may experience anxiety in unfamiliar settings, such as the veterinary practice. This service is also beneficial for elderly pets that perhaps struggle to get in and out of the car or for owners who do not drive.
Nail clipping
I offer nail clipping services for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, small mammals (such as guinea pigs and rabbits), reptiles, and birds.
As a one-person team, I may occasionally need your gentle assistance in safely restraining your pet during the appointment. This can be discussed ahead of time to ensure everyone is comfortable and prepared.
If at any point your pet shows signs of significant distress or becomes uncooperative, I will pause and reassess. I’m happy to suggest alternative options or techniques to help make the experience more positive over time
Tick removal
I am competent and confident in the safe and efficent removal of ticks.
Using professional tick removal tools and practiced techniques, I ensure that the tick is removed in its entirety.
Ticks can pose significant health risks if left untreated. These parasites latch onto your pet and can feed for several days, growing from tiny lumps to creatures around the size of your little fingernail.
Matt removal
Whilst I am NOT a professional pet groomer and am unable to provide full grooming services, I am happy to shave and remove large mats in long-haired dogs and cats.
Mats can be uncomfortable or even painful for pets, causing skin irritation or restricting movement if left untreated.
Working in a familiar environment helps minimize stress and makes the process gentler and more manageable for your pet.
For a complete grooming experience, I recommend consulting a professional groomer.
Medication adminitration
My experience as a qualified veterinary nurse means I have had plentiful experience and training in administering prescribed oral medicines (tablets/liquid), topical treatments (skin/ocular/aural), and injectable medications (such as insulin).
I am skilled in helping pets who may be nervous or reluctant to take their medicines, using gentle techniques to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Going abroad? Long term travelling?Or just a little break on the weekend?
I am hugely passionate for exotic pet species with a little collection of my own! From bearded dragons, skinks, leopard geckos, snakes & tortoise to frogs, mice, hamsters, rats, birds, and aquatics! I completed a certificate in the advanced nursing of reptiles & amphibians in 2024.
If you are looking for somebody to care for your reptile or amphibian who understands the importance of humidity, monitoring the temperatures, checking the UV is working, and following the feeding routine (including live insect feeding) - I'm your girl!
Are you seeking a professional who can ensure your birds or small mammals are safe and secure? That they're eating appropriately? Somebody you can rely upon to set up appropriate safe enrichment activities and can ensure interactions are positive and stress-free? A pet care services provider who can fulfil you with the confidence that your pet is being cared for to high standards?
Rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles & birds - a stress-free approach to mobile pet care services in your home.
Do you have a very wriggly guinea pig with long nails you are nervous to trim? Or perhaps a long-haired rabbit with a matt you just cannot seem to brush out? A budgie with curling nails that you cannot safely restrain by yourself to clip?
Are you concerned about the stress your pet will experience being put into a dark carrier, into the noisy car and then into an unfamiliar and scary territory like a veterinary practice?
With practiced and safe manoeuvring techniques, fear-free handling and comfort-focussed care in the safety of your own home, you can feel confident in choosing a mobile service with Four Paws With Meg.
Equine assistance
With a wealth of experience in the equestrian world you can rely on me to be there for the unexpected early morning farrier visit after Dylan threw his shoe and you have a meeting to attend at 9am! The wedding you're attending this weekend? - consider the yard duties covered! Night out and no time to muck out in the evening - sorted! Just cannot be bothered to poo-pick the field on Sunday? - no problem!
