The annual wellness exam: your pet's most important visit

We call it a “check-up,” but it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to protect your pet’s long-term health. Pets, especially cats, are masters at hiding signs of illness or pain. Our annual wellness exam is a comprehensive, nose-to-tail physical assessment that allows our veterinarians to establish a health baseline and catch subtle changes — like early dental disease, heart murmurs, or weight changes — long before they become serious problems.

This visit is also our most important time to partner with you. It’s your dedicated time to ask questions and for us to listen. We’ll discuss nutrition, behaviour, activity levels, and any concerns you may have, creating a personalized health plan for the year ahead.

Customized vaccination plans

Vaccinations are not one-size-fits-all. Based on your pet’s unique lifestyle — from a curious pet living in Aurora to a pet that travels the world with their family — our team will create a tailored vaccination schedule. This is a critical part of protecting your pet and our entire community from preventable diseases.

Vaccines for Dogs

Learn about the core vaccines like Rabies and DHPP, as well as lifestyle vaccines like Leptospirosis and Bordetella, that protect your canine companion.

Vaccines for Cats

Discover the essential vaccines that protect your cat, including the core FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, plus the FeLV vaccine for cats with outdoor access.

Year-round parasite prevention

Fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms are more than just a nuisance; they are a year-round threat in our region. These parasites pose a serious health risk to your pet and can even be transmitted to your family. Proactive prevention is significantly safer, easier, and less costly than treating an established infection.

To help you understand these risks, we’ve compiled our expert advice in one convenient guide.
