Our Quality Veterinary Services

When you bring your pet in for their initial appointment, we’ll begin by asking you various questions about their health and behavior. From there, our Kitchener veterinarian will conduct a comprehensive wellness exam. By looking at your pet’s eyes, skin, nails, and gait paired with x-ray imaging, we can create their personalized veterinary treatment plan. Your pet’s plan outlines our recommended services and how we’ll approach them.
