Routine Check-up and Vaccinations |
Check-ups are vital for your pet’s ongoing care and quality of life. Routine check-ups include a physical exam, temperature, teeth, eyes, ears, abdomen and joints check as well. If your pet is due, yearly vaccines are also given at this time, or alternatively a titer check for certain viruses can determine a need for revaccination.
A Toronto By-Law requires your pet to have an up-to-date vaccination against rabies.
Dogs & Cats who are more than eight years of age are considered “Senior” and need a little extra attention. We recommend urine and feces screening, testing their blood chemistry for liver, kidney, thyroid function... because everyone knows that early detection is the key to a healthy life.

Geriatric Care |
Since early detection is key, older pets may require more extensive screening during their examinations which may include fecal and lab tests. Geriatric tests can include Overall organ function, Thyroid, and Urine testing. We also treat various issues that may come with an aging pet, such as urination problems, arthritis and dental diseases.

Fleas, Ticks, Heart worm Prevention & Parasite Control |
Flea infestation is a prominent issue for pet owners (and if had it once you never forget the experience!). With cases of pets with fleas rising on a yearly basis, owners can find it extremely difficult to cope with a flea infestation on their pets and in their homes. We offer many preemptive measures, such as topical and systemic drugs, as well as flea shampoos and house sprays.

Skin and Allergy Care |
Skin and allergy issues can be quite traumatic and painful for your pet, as well as stressful for you, the owner. We offer various allergy tests that can determine what allergens your pet may be sensitive to and/or what dietary changes may have to be made. For more severe cases we also offer various treatments and anti-inflammatory medication that can be administered either topically or by mouth.
