Wellness Care

Annual Physical Examination
An important step in maintaining your pet's health, our annual exam allows us to keep an eye out for potential diseases, and make sure their behaviour and weight are normal and healthy. 

Vaccination
Vaccines can play a significant role in your pet’s preventive and wellness care. We create individualized pet vaccination programs that address the unique health needs of each patient. Diseases and viruses can be a threat to your pet’s health just as they can be for us, which is why your veterinarian will want to discuss vaccinations as early in your pet’s development as possible. We’ll make sure your pet has everything they need to stay healthy and happy.

Puppy and Kitten Care
When you bring in your new addition to us, we will be discussing topics such as:

  • Core and lifestyle vaccination options

  • Nutrition
  • Nail care
  • Basic training including socialization
  • House training
During your visit, an individualized health care program will be designed to address the specific needs of your puppy or kitten.

Senior Care
Pets are living longer than ever due to ongoing veterinary care and balanced nutrition. To optimize the health and quality of life of your aging pets, annual health visits and appropriate wellness testing help aid in owner education and early detection of disease.

Rehabilitation
Animal rehabilitation is the application of physiotherapy principals and techniques re-designed for veterinary patients. Targeted exercises and movements are used to assist in the individual needs of your dog or cat.

Surgery

Spaying
By spaying your female cat or dog, you’re protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and several types of cancer. By spaying your pet, you are helping to control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, which means keeping more cats and dogs out of shelters.
This procedure involves removing the ovaries and uterus, and  is a surgical procedure done with the pet under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure her safety.

Neuter
Neutering your male cat or dog reduces or eliminates his risk for prostate and testicular cancer, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. This procedure also reduces or eliminates undesirable and embarrassing behavior, including roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying. This will also help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem.
Neutering involves removing the testicles, it is a surgical procedure and needs to be performed with your pet under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure his safety.

Soft Tissue Surgery 
​Services including mas removals, cystotomy and GI surgery.

Other Services

Nutritional Counselling and Weight Management
It is reported that 40% of pets are overweight, with 25% being considered obese. The excess weight can lead to a variety of health issues such as accelerated ageing, mobility problems, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, to name a few.
Not sure if your pet is at their ideal weight? Call our office or come in and talk to any of our veterinary team members to explain body condition scoring and help to design weight management program for your pet.

Dental Care
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental (or periodontal) disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets. Common signs of dental disease include:
  • Yellow or brown buildup (tartar) on the teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Bad breath
  • Excessive drooling
  • Changes in eating or chewing habits
  • Pawing at the face
  • Loose teeth
  • Depression
Bacteria and food debris accumulate around the teeth and, if left unchecked, will lead to deterioration of the soft tissue and bone surrounding the teeth. This decay can result in irreversible periodontal disease, tooth loss, and possibly expensive oral surgery. Dental disease can also affect other organs in the body: Bacteria in the mouth can get into the bloodstream and cause serious infections in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. A physical exam combined with appropriate laboratory work can determine if infection in the mouth has spread. We can also help show you how to brush your pet’s teeth and recommend foods and treats that will help combat plaque and tartar buildup.

Microchipping
Is a safe, permanent way to identify your pet in case he or she becomes lost. A microchip, which is a tiny device about the size and shape of a grain of rice, is placed just under the loose skin at the back of the neck. When a lost dog or cat without an ID tag is found, a veterinarian staff member, shelter, or rescue organization will use a handheld microchip scanner to check for a chip. If the pet has one, it will transmit its ID number to the scanner via a low-frequency radio wave. The veterinary hospital or shelter then calls the chip manufacturer, retrieves the pet owner’s contact information, and calls the owner, or emergency contact number.​
