Welcome to Our Resource Center: Essential Info for Pet Owners
New Pet Owners
It is essential to bring your new puppy or kitten to a veterinarian when you first bring them home. At first, they will get a complete development exam to check their wellbeing. During the initial consultation, we will discuss:
-
Vaccinations
-
Nutrition
-
Socialization
-
And much more
Please let our receptionist know if you are a new pet owner, and we will make sure to allow more time for your appointment. We understand how overwhelming a new addition to the family can be, and we want to make sure you leave with all your questions answered.
Follow our Kitten and Puppy Vaccine Guide for more information on initial vaccines.
Insurance
​Owning a pet comes with financial responsibility. Pet insurance can help reduce some of that stress. We recommend researching different insurance companies if you are interested in pet insurance. By doing this, you can choose the most suitable policy for your family. Pre-existing conditions, breed-specific health issues, and waiting periods are important factors, amongst others, to consider when researching which insurance provider is best for your family.
Useful veterinarian links
There is a lot of information available on the Internet about pet ownership. Deciding what information is valuable can be challenging and overwhelming. Below is a list of resources we recommend that the Canadian veterinarian community trusts.
