Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is an exciting occasion, but it also comes with great responsibility. At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, we understand the significance of these new family members and offer a range of services to ensure their well-being and longevity. From puppy and kitten exams to geriatric care, vaccinations to parasite control, our team of dedicated professionals is here to provide the highest quality care tailored to your pet’s individual needs.
Puppy and Kitten Exams: Identifying Health from the Start
Welcoming a new furry friend is an exciting time, and our puppy and kitten exams are designed to set a strong foundation for their lifelong health. These initial consultations allow us to identify any congenital abnormalities that might pose future challenges. We believe in proactive care, creating a preventive medicine plan that aligns with your pet’s unique requirements and your household dynamics.
Balanced Vaccinations: Safeguarding Your Pet and Community
At i-Care Veterinary Hospital, we prioritize balanced vaccinations that not only protect your pet’s health but also contribute to the safety of your human family and community. Our approach involves “Core” vaccines that offer comprehensive coverage, supplemented by optional vaccines based on your pet’s lifestyle. This ensures a well-rounded protection strategy without over-vaccination concerns.
Spays and Neuters: Safe and Compassionate Procedures
Spaying and neutering are significant milestones in your pet’s life, and we treat them as such. While these procedures are routine, they still require full General Anesthesia, and we handle them with the utmost care and compassion. Our commitment to safety ensures that each operation is performed to the highest standards, keeping your pet’s well-being at the forefront.
Geriatric Care: Nurturing Our Ageing Companions
As pets age, their needs change. Our geriatric care services acknowledge the unique challenges that come with ageing, offering increased attention and tailored care for senior pets. Regular vet visits and diagnostics, including blood work, become even more crucial in this stage of life, enabling us to manage and address common chronic conditions effectively.
Annual Wellness Exams: A Vital Part of Preventive Care
Prevention is better than cure, and our annual wellness exams exemplify this philosophy. These comprehensive check-ups allow us to promote healthy habits, discuss preventive care measures, and catch early signs of disease before they become major concerns. From nose to tail, every aspect of your pet’s health is evaluated during these important visits.
Parasite Control: Safeguarding Against Pests
Living on Vancouver Island comes with its unique challenges, including year-round flea and tick problems. Our parasite control services encompass both internal and external threats, ensuring your pet’s well-being even in the face of mild climate-related challenges. With an emphasis on proactive prevention, we address risks posed by fleas, ticks, and worms, keeping your pet safe and comfortable.
Dental COHAT: Ensuring Oral and Overall Health
Dental health plays a crucial role in your pet’s overall well-being. Our Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) is a thorough dental evaluation that includes intra-oral x-rays to assess tooth roots and identify potential issues. Regular professional anesthetized cleanings every 6-12 months prevent the spread of dental bacteria to other areas of the body, such as the heart or kidneys.
Quality of Life Assessments: Compassion in Difficult Times
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. Our Quality of Life assessments provide guidance and support during this challenging journey. If you’re unsure about when it’s time to let go or have questions about the process, our veterinarians are here to offer compassionate advice to ensure your pet’s comfort and dignity.
