OUR SERVICES
WELLNESS EXAMS
We use a wellness exam to check up on your cat or dog’s physical health, update any vaccines or medication, discuss diet and make sure your pet is a healthy weight. We also explore any behavioural issues, allergies or general questions that you might have.
We may ask for a stool sample or collect blood. Stool, urine, and blood testing can tell us a lot about the health of your pet’s internal organs. We can also help with nail trimming, ear cleaning, or other basic grooming care.

SENIOR PET EXAM
SENIOR PET
EXAM
Once your dog or cat turns 7, we recommend that they undergo a thorough senior wellness exam and diagnostic work-up. Our exams include how to take care of your pet’s joints and help with arthritic pain, dietary care and nutrition and dental care.
We look for lumps and bumps, vision and hearing loss and changes in weight and drinking habits. There are also medications and supplements available to ease your pet’s joint pain and lifestyle adjustments that can help your pet maneuver through your home and sleep better.
END OF LIFE CARE
The end of life stage is very difficult for owners and their beloved animal companions.
We do everything possible to improve their physical and emotional well-being, and to help you cope with the difficulties of caring for a terminally ill pet. We are there to support and guide you through the heartbreaking decision of saying goodbye.
