Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination programs protect pets from preventable diseases through tailored schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. We use high-quality vaccines and explain each protocol's benefits during consultations. Regular vaccinations help maintain herd immunity and comply with local regulations for pet travel and boarding.
Surgical Services
We perform spay/neuter procedures, soft tissue surgeries, and emergency interventions using modern anesthetic monitoring. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures patient safety, while post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up exams. Our surgical suite meets veterinary standards for sterility and equipment calibration.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar under general anesthesia, including subgingival scaling and polishing. Digital dental X-rays identify hidden issues, and we provide home care guidance to prevent periodontal disease. Regular oral exams are part of wellness visits for early problem detection.
Emergency Telemedicine
When closed, clients access VetWise's telemedicine platform for urgent pet health advice via video consultations with Ontario-licensed veterinarians. This service provides triage guidance and determines whether immediate in-person care is required, ensuring continuity of support outside regular hours.
Preventive Health Care
Annual check-ups, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling form the foundation of our preventive care. We create customized wellness plans based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors. Early detection of conditions like diabetes or arthritis improves treatment outcomes through timely intervention.
