At Vista Park Animal Hospital, we understand that our beloved pets have shorter lifespans. That's why we emphasize the significance of scheduling an annual physical examination for them. By conducting thorough check-ups and providing preventive care, we aim to alleviate any potential serious health issues. Our dedicated team offers a comprehensive range of veterinary services, ensuring that your furry companions always feel their absolute best.

1. Vaccinations:
Vaccinations are a crucial aspect of preventive care for pets. They protect against various infectious diseases and help maintain their overall health. For example, regular vaccinations against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia can prevent life-threatening illnesses. By ensuring that your pets are up to date on their vaccinations, you are not only safeguarding their well-being but also contributing to the overall community health.

2. Wellness Exams:
Regular wellness exams are essential for early detection of any potential health issues in pets. During these exams, our veterinarians thoroughly examine your pets, checking for signs of illness, monitoring their weight, and assessing their overall condition. By identifying and addressing health concerns at an early stage, we can provide timely treatment and prevent the progression of diseases. This proactive approach can significantly improve the quality and longevity of your pet's life.

3. Dental Care:
Dental health is often overlooked but plays a vital role in a pet's overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to dental diseases, such as gum infections, tooth decay, and even systemic infections. Our veterinary services include professional dental cleanings, tooth extractions, and oral health assessments. By maintaining good dental hygiene, we can prevent pain, discomfort, and potential complications for your pets.

4. Surgical Procedures:
Our veterinary clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art surgical facilities, allowing us to perform a wide range of surgical procedures. From routine spaying and neutering to more complex surgeries, our experienced team prioritize the safety and comfort of your pets. Surgical interventions can address various conditions, including lump and tumor removal, orthopedic repairs, and gastrointestinal surgeries. Our team ensures that each procedure is performed with utmost care and attention to detail.

5. Diagnostic Services:
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Our veterinary services include advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, such as X-rays, ultrasounds, and laboratory tests. These tools enable us to identify internal injuries, detect tumors, assess organ function, and diagnose various medical conditions. By utilizing these diagnostic tools, we can provide precise and targeted treatment plans for your pets.

6. Pain management and Control:
It has become evident that animals undergo pain in a similar manner to humans. Utilizing our understanding of pain medication and relief techniques, we strive to prevent and handle pain in pets, whether it be prior to or following surgery, or in the case of an injury or infection. Additionally, we possess the ability to alleviate pain stemming from chronic ailments like arthritis. Feel free to inquire about our array of pain management choices and strategies, as we will customize them to suit your pet's specific medical condition and unique requirements.

7. Microchipping:
Ensuring peace of mind is invaluable, which is why we highly recommend the use of pet microchip identification. Unlike collars and tags that can easily fall off or become lost, and tattoos that fade and can be removed, a microchip offers a reliable and permanent solution. This tiny electronic device is safely injected under the skin at the back of the neck, providing each pet with a unique identification number. This number is recorded in a national directory and can be easily read by a portable scanner. In the unfortunate event that your beloved companion goes missing, their individual microchip identifier becomes their beacon of hope, guiding them back to the warmth and security of their home.

8. Allergy Testing:
To diagnose allergies in your furry friend, we conduct serum allergy testing by collecting a small blood sample. This sample is then analyzed to determine your dog's sensitivity to a range of potential allergens, including trees, grasses, weeds, fungi, molds, and mites. Our comprehensive testing aims to identify the specific triggers that may be causing discomfort for your pet. With this valuable information, we can develop an effective plan to manage and alleviate their allergies.

9. Urgent Veterinary Care:

We provide urgent veterinary care during our business hours. Urgent care is for non- life threatening conditions that need immediate attention. 

10. Health Certificates:

We offer health certificates for pets traveling with you both with in Canada and internationally.  

11. Euthanasia and Cremation services:  

We understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult decisions a pet owner can face. Our compassionate euthanasia services are designed to provide a peaceful and dignified end- of- life experience for your pet. Our veterinary team will guide you through the process with empathy and respect, answering any questions you may have. We prioritize your pet's comfort and will take all steps to minimize stress and pain during their final moments. We also offer support with aftercare arrangements, including cremation to honor your pet's memory. We are here to support you and your pet every step of the way, with compassion and care during this difficult time.
