Dermatology and Skin Care

Skin conditions are among the most common reasons pets visit a veterinarian. Allergies, bacterial and fungal infections, parasitic skin diseases, and chronic inflammatory conditions can all cause significant discomfort. Our veterinarians perform a thorough skin assessment, including visual examination and diagnostic testing such as skin scraping and cytology where indicated. We develop an individual management plan based on the findings, addressing the underlying cause rather than just the visible symptoms. Pets with recurring skin issues benefit from consistent monitoring to prevent flare-ups and maintain long-term skin health.

Gastrointestinal Care

Gastrointestinal issues, including vomiting, diarrhea, appetite changes, and abdominal discomfort, can have many underlying causes ranging from dietary indiscretion to more serious conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, or intestinal obstruction. Our team performs a thorough clinical assessment and uses in-house diagnostics including blood panels, urinalysis, and imaging to identify the cause. Management plans are individualized based on the findings and may involve dietary changes, supportive care, and monitoring.

Endocrine Diseases

Endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism in dogs, hyperthyroidism in cats, diabetes mellitus, and Cushing's disease are increasingly common in aging pets. These conditions affect multiple body systems and require consistent monitoring and management. Our team uses in-house blood panels and endocrine testing to assess hormone levels and monitor the response to management over time. Pets with known endocrine conditions benefit from regular rechecks to ensure their plan remains appropriate as the condition progresses.

Hip Dysplasia and Joint Conditions

Hip dysplasia is a developmental condition in which the hip joint does not fit properly in the socket, leading to instability, arthritis, and pain over time. It is especially common in large and giant breed dogs. We assess joint health through physical examination and imaging, and develop a management plan that may include weight management support, joint supplements, pain management, and physiotherapy guidance. For cases requiring surgical evaluation, we facilitate referral to the appropriate specialist.

Von Willebrand's Disease

Von Willebrand's disease is an inherited blood clotting disorder that affects certain breeds more commonly than others. Affected pets may bleed excessively following injury or surgery. We offer diagnostic testing for Von Willebrand's disease and develop management protocols to minimize bleeding risk during procedures. If your dog is scheduled for surgery and has a known or suspected clotting disorder, it is important to inform our team in advance so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

Ear and Eye Infections

Ear infections in dogs and cats can result from bacteria, yeast, mites, or a combination of factors. Left unmanaged, they cause significant discomfort and can lead to more serious complications. We assess the ear canal using an otoscope, examine a sample under the microscope where needed, and develop an appropriate management plan. Eye infections, conjunctivitis, and other ocular conditions also require prompt assessment. Changes in eye appearance, discharge, squinting, or pawing at the eye should be evaluated by a veterinarian to rule out corneal involvement.

Cardiology and Heart Care

Heart disease in dogs and cats often develops gradually and can go undetected without regular examination. We assess heart health through thorough physical examinations and auscultation at every wellness visit. For patients requiring more advanced cardiac evaluation, we offer referral to a visiting veterinary cardiologist. Echocardiograms at our clinic are provided by a visiting veterinary specialist. Pre-booking is required for echocardiogram appointments. Early detection of heart conditions allows for monitoring and supportive care that can significantly improve quality of life.

Pain Management

Recognizing and managing pain in pets requires expertise, as dogs and cats often mask discomfort. Signs of pain can include reduced activity, changes in posture, reluctance to be touched, altered grooming behavior, or changes in appetite. We offer individualized pain management plans that may include veterinary-grade anti-inflammatory products, joint support, and guidance on environmental modifications to improve comfort. Managing chronic pain, such as pain associated with arthritis or post-surgical recovery, is an important part of maintaining your pet's quality of life.

Renal Dysplasia and Kidney Health

Renal dysplasia is a congenital condition where the kidneys develop abnormally, affecting their ability to filter waste effectively. We monitor kidney function using blood panels and urinalysis, tracking key markers including creatinine, BUN, and SDMA levels over time. Management is focused on supporting kidney function and slowing progression through dietary adjustments, hydration support, and regular monitoring. Early detection through routine wellness bloodwork gives the best opportunity to intervene before advanced decline occurs.

Medical Assessment

A thorough medical assessment is the foundation of accurate veterinary care. Our assessments include a complete physical examination, review of your pet's health history, and targeted diagnostic testing based on your pet's signs and age. We use our findings to develop a clear management plan with specific next steps. For pets with multiple or complex health concerns, we take a systematic approach to identify the most significant issues and address them in order of priority. All assessments are performed by our licensed veterinarians.

How do I know if my dog or cat needs to see a vet for a skin condition?

If your pet is scratching persistently, losing hair, has visible skin sores, redness, or a strong odor from the skin, a veterinary assessment is recommended. Skin conditions that continue for more than a few days or worsen despite bathing should always be evaluated. Call us at (604) 581-1108 to book.
