Wellness Program
Wellness Examinations
Our primary goal at the Grenville-Dundas Veterinary Clinic, is to keep our patients as healthy as possible by reducing the risk of disease and by identifying early signs of disease.
Annual Health Examinations, also known as Wellness Examinations, are intended to find diseases early - even before obvious symptoms appear. These annual check-ups are the cornerstone of any preventive health care program for your dog, cat and rabbit. At these yearly visits, we will perform a head to toe assessment of your pet companion by looking, listening and feeling (palpating) for any changes in their overall condition. This is a great opportunity for you as a pet parent, to notify the doctor of any changes in your pet's behaviour or physical activity. We also discuss dental care, prevention and treatment of parasites such as intestinal worms, heartworm and ticks, and of course nutrition for whatever stage of life your beloved pet is in. We believe we are your best source of information regarding your pet's health and we want to answer any questions you have!

Wellness Testing
Wellness Screening Tests include a variety of blood, urine and fecal screening tests used to get an impression of your pet's general health. These tests allow us to diagnose diseases promptly, sometimes even before your dog or cat shows signs of illness. Early diagnosis often leads to treatment recommendations that may allow us to slow down or stop the progression of disease. This may allow your cherished pet to live a longer and healthier life. Let us help you choose a Wellness Test that is ideal for your pet's age and lifestyle.
Vaccinations
Along with regular physical exams, vaccinations are the foundation of preventive health care for your pet. Many common diseases, that can seriously affect the health of dogs and cats, are now preventable through the use of vaccinations. We administer vaccines based on your pet's individual lifestyle and needs. We recognize that every pet is different and does not require the same kind of vaccination schedule. Our veterinarians work with you to develop a vaccination protocol for your cherished companion that is individually tailored to their needs. Our vaccination protocol is customized to each pet's personal exposure and risk. Whether your pet spends most of their time indoors, in the bush, parks or attends shows and classes, or is occasionally kenneled. We can provide a vaccination program that suits your companion’s needs.
Please be aware that an up-to-date Rabies vaccination is legally required for all pets in the province of Ontario but more importantly, it is in the best interest of your much loved pet, family and friends that he or she be vaccinated.
