Preventive care

Pet care services

Routine care is the part of veterinary medicine that quietly does the most good. Regular examinations, vaccinations suited to your pet's life and parasite prevention adapted to the Okanagan help us notice small changes early.

Appointment requests are confirmed by our team.

Questions

Common questions

How often should my dog or cat be examined?
Most adult pets are seen once a year, while puppies, kittens and senior pets usually benefit from more frequent visits. We will recommend a schedule based on your pet, not a fixed rule.
Which vaccines does my pet need?
That depends on age, health history and where your pet spends time. We will talk through the options with you rather than applying one schedule to every animal.
