Vaccinations for Dogs and Cats

Vaccinations are the most effective way to protect your dog or cat from serious preventable diseases. At 108 Avenue Animal Hospital, we build a vaccination schedule around your pet's age, lifestyle, and medical history. Core vaccines for dogs include distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and rabies. Core vaccines for cats include FVRCP and rabies. Lifestyle-based vaccines such as leptospirosis, bordetella, and feline leukemia are also available based on your pet's exposure risk. Our veterinarians review your pet's vaccination record at every visit and recommend any updates that are due. Staying current on vaccinations protects your pet and the animals they come into contact with.

Tick Prevention

Ticks are found throughout Surrey and the broader Lower Mainland, particularly in wooded areas, tall grass, and parks. They can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and other tick-borne illnesses to both dogs and cats. We offer tick prevention plans that include regular assessments and veterinarian-recommended preventive products selected for your pet's size and outdoor habits. We also show you how to check your pet for ticks after walks or outdoor visits. Early prevention is far more straightforward than managing a tick-borne illness after the fact.

Microchipping

A microchip provides permanent, reliable identification for your dog or cat. The chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted just beneath the skin in a quick procedure that requires no anesthetic. If your pet is ever lost or found, any veterinary clinic or animal shelter equipped with a scanner can read the chip and contact you. We use ISO-certified microchips and walk you through the registration process to make sure your contact details are on file. Microchipping is a one-time procedure that provides lifelong identification security. We recommend pairing it with an up-to-date collar ID tag.

Deworming

Intestinal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, are common in both young and adult dogs and cats in Surrey, BC. Many pets carry parasites without obvious signs. Deworming at the right intervals is an important part of routine care, protecting both your pet and the people in your household from zoonotic parasites. We offer deworming as a standalone service and as part of puppy and kitten wellness visits. Our team will recommend a deworming schedule based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk of re-exposure. Routine fecal testing confirms your pet is parasite-free between intervals.

Anal Gland Expression

Anal gland expression is one of the most frequently requested grooming services for dogs and cats. When the anal glands do not empty naturally, your pet may scoot along the floor, lick at the base of the tail, or show signs of discomfort. Manual expression by a veterinary professional is a quick, effective way to relieve this discomfort and check for signs of infection or impaction at the same time. We perform this service as a standalone visit and can discuss underlying dietary or anatomical factors in pets who require frequent expression.

Flea Prevention and Control

Fleas are one of the most common parasites seen in dogs and cats in Surrey and across the Lower Mainland. A single flea can cause intense itching, skin irritation, and in sensitive pets, allergic skin reactions that lead to hair loss and persistent discomfort. We offer a range of preventive products including topical solutions and oral options suited to your pet's size and lifestyle. Our team will assess your pet's risk and recommend a year-round prevention plan. We also provide guidance on managing the home environment to break the flea life cycle and prevent reinfestation.

Heartworm Prevention

Heartworm is a serious parasitic disease transmitted through mosquito bites. While more common in warmer climates, cases in British Columbia are increasing, and year-round prevention is recommended for dogs and cats in Surrey. Left undetected, heartworm causes progressive damage to the heart and lungs and can become life-threatening. We recommend routine heartworm testing combined with a consistent preventive protocol. Prevention is simple, effective, and far less costly than managing advanced heartworm disease. Our team will recommend appropriate options for both dogs and cats.

Puppy and Kitten Wellness Care

The first months of your puppy or kitten's life are critical for building immunity and establishing healthy habits. Our puppy and kitten wellness visits include a thorough physical exam, initial vaccine series, deworming, and nutritional guidance. We also discuss spay and neuter timing, dental care from an early age, socialization, and what to expect as your pet grows. Building a relationship with your veterinary team from the start gives us a health baseline that guides your pet's care for years to come. Walk-in visits for new puppies and kittens are welcome.

Nail Trimming

Overgrown nails cause discomfort, affect posture, and increase the risk of nails catching on surfaces or curling into the paw pad. We provide nail trims for dogs and cats as a quick, low-stress standalone service. Our team uses calm, gentle handling techniques and is experienced with pets that find nail trims stressful. Regular nail care is especially important for senior pets and those who spend most of their time indoors. We are also happy to show you how to maintain nail length at home between visits.

Ear Cleaning

Regular ear cleaning prevents the buildup of wax, debris, and moisture that can lead to ear infections. Dogs with floppy ears, pets that swim frequently, and cats with narrow ear canals are especially prone to ear health issues. During an ear cleaning visit, our team examines the ear canal for any signs of infection, mites, or inflammation before proceeding. If an underlying issue is found, we will advise you on next steps. We can also walk you through safe ear cleaning techniques to use at home between visits.

Giant Breed Care

Large and giant breed dogs have unique health needs that require a tailored preventive care approach. They mature more slowly than smaller breeds, which affects spay and neuter timing recommendations. They are also at elevated risk for joint conditions such as hip dysplasia, as well as certain heart conditions. At 108 Avenue Animal Hospital, we provide wellness care specifically adapted for large and giant breed dogs, with attention to growth monitoring, joint health, and nutrition counseling for size-appropriate diets. Our veterinarians will build a long-term care plan suited to your large dog's specific needs.
