Adult Pet Wellness
Reassurance for your pet’s healthy life is important. Visit Dougall Avenue Veterinary Hospital for a yearly diagnostic and wellness checkup to determine health conditions in the early stages. This way, medical expenses can be minimized, and the prognosis of diseases can help your pet live longer. With age, the risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver issues may increase. Your pet may not show signs of illness. This is why it is crucial to bring your companion for a regular wellness examination.
We’ll perform a complete physical evaluation of your dog or cat and ensure they receive the proper vaccinations and preventives. Our team will also perform a diagnostic workup to check for parasites or underlying diseases. Our vet may recommend you bring your pet for dental checkups. We’ll suggest a baseline examination and diagnostics for senior pets to learn what’s normal for your best friend.
As a pet owner, you know your pet best. If you notice any physical or behavioural changes in them, don’t hesitate to book your pet’s exam. Please discuss any questions you may have about our adult wellness program in detail.
Senior Pet Wellness
Senior pets require special attention and care. We have designed senior wellness programs to ensure your pet’s safety and health. As your pet ages, it becomes even more vital to keep a close watch on any potential issues so they can be treated or managed effectively. We recommend you schedule regular pet wellness exams to maximize your pet's life. Your pet may not show any signs of diseases until they become quite advanced.
Depending on the pet’s size and breed, a senior pet’s life span may differ. At our medical facility, we can help you understand what life stage your dog, cat, or even exotic pet is in.
Before your pet reaches senior status, we recommend you to get them in for a baseline examination and diagnostics to learn what’s normal for your best friend and keep track of any changes. Your senior pet should have frequent veterinary exams and diagnostic testing.
Our veterinarians treat various symptoms commonly attributed to age, such as cognitive dysfunction syndrome. Your pet’s quality of life is our priority. By identifying and preventing or minimizing pain, recommending the right nutrition, planning an exercise routine and suggesting environmental modifications, we help keep your pet comfortable and well.
Meet us today to devise a customized wellness plan for your senior pet’s individual needs. Have any questions? We’re here to discuss them with you. Call us to schedule your pet’s exam.
Additional Services
Behavioural Counseling
If you are worried about your pet’s behaviour, our medical experts will be happy to assist you. We can bring in a positive change in their behaviour by working with you or your pet. Behaviour modification is possible through desensitization and counter-conditioning in aggressive, fearful or ill-mannered pets. These techniques are impactful when appropriately practiced. Medication can also have a positive effect in some cases. Connect with us to set an appointment if you’d like an expert consultation.
Microchip Pet Identification
Worried your pet might lose his way back home? You never have to go through that with the help of microchips. Microchipping is a safe and permanent way to identify your pet. A tiny device, called a microchip, can be placed under the loose skin at the back of your pet’s neck. When a lost pet without an ID tag is discovered, a vet will employ a handheld microchip scanner to check for a chip. If your pet has one of these, the vet will retrieve the pet owner’s contact details and finally send him home.
We recommend using a microchip, along with a collar and ID tag, to get your pet identified at all times. While your pet may lose a collar and ID tag, a microchip is a more reliable option. Pets without microchips have a higher chance of ending up in a shelter or getting adopted by another family.
Book an appointment with our medical facility for microchipping your pet. We want you to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Our team can microchip rabbits, ferrets, birds and other pet companions too!
Boarding
If you are looking for a home away from home for your pet while you’re away, our qualified staff can help. Leave your pet with us in a safe and comfortable environment, and we’ll take care of their special needs.
We have basic amenities for your pet, including clean bedding, food and water bowls. If you feel your pets prefer their own belongings, you can bring them along. We welcome toys and other personal washable items at our facility. Our team will manage any required medication and follow your specified feeding regimen. (Alternatively, we can give your pet a healthy diet and treats for free if you want). Our staff is happy to groom your pet before you pick them up.
We have veterinary technicians to check on the pets constantly and kennel staff to monitor the boarding area. If your pet gets sick during the stay, one of our clinicians will promptly start the treatment. Our veterinary team members can arrange overnight monitoring for senior pets or those with health issues.
If you want a pet to board with us, we request you to ensure they have been vaccinated two weeks before boarding for rabies and distemper, along with other species-specific vaccinations. This is important to ensure the health of all pets boarding with us. Contact us for more information. Book your boarding reservation now. Feel free to visit us anytime for a tour of our boarding facility.
