Our wellness exams include an extensive head-to-tail examination of your pet and a detailed medical history. We will also answer any of your questions regarding the health and behavior of your pet. Complete exams are recommended once every year.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are recommended based on the age, health history, and living environment of your pet. We will discuss these circumstances with you to determine which vaccines are appropriate.
Surgery
Our modern hospital and well trained surgical team allow us to offer a range of surgical procedures, including spaying or neutering, abdominal surgeries, and tumor removal. If a specialist is needed, we will quickly refer you to a veterinary surgeon that we know and trust.
Dentistry
Pets need dental care too! Our dental services include both preventative and curative care. We'll show you how to brush your pet’s teeth, and if needed, provide a veterinary dental diet to help reduce the formation of plaque and tartar. If dental disease is already present, we can provide teeth cleaning, extractions, and oral surgery. Anaesthetics and pain medications are used to ensure the comfort of your pet during dental procedures.
Parasite Prevention
Both dogs and cats can acquire parasites from other animals and from the natural environment. We recommend following the guidelines of the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPCvet.org) which states that year-round treatment should be provided for internal parasites. This involves giving your pet a monthly dose of medicine as a pill or liquid. We'll show you the easiest ways to get the medicine down!.
Flea Prevention
Did you know that the Fraser Valley is known as the “flea capital of Canada?" This is because our climate provides the perfect environment for these pesky parasites all year round. It is certainly best to prevent fleas since eliminating them from your pet and home is much more difficult. We recommend a monthly treatment that will kill any fleas before they reproduce. Treatment options include a pill for your pet to swallow or a liquid that you can put on their skin. We'll be happy to talk to you about the pros and cons of each method.
Laboratory Services
We perform most routine blood and urine tests in our own laboratory at the hospital, providing the fastest possible results. For more in-depth testing, we work with Idexx Laboratory which provides analysis of samples as well as the expertise of Internal Medicine consultants and Pathologists.
Medications and Supplements
We offer a full service pet pharmacy that provides medication and supplements carefully chosen for your pet’s specific needs. We carry many commonly used medicines and supplements in stock, and special orders are filled within a few days. We are also able to offer you the services of a "compounding pharmacy" that can prepare a medication in different ways. If you are having difficulties getting your pet to swallow a pill, the pharmacy can prepare the same medicine in a liquid form to make things easier on your pet and on you.
Weight and Disease Management
We hear a lot about the health risks of human obesity, and unfortunately these same risks apply to overweight cats and dogs. Our well trained veterinary team can help you choose a diet that best suits your pet’s needs, whether it be a weight loss program or to help with joint health, kidney disease, diabetes or food allergies.
Veterinary Exclusive Diets
We stock an extensive inventory of different types of food products scientifically designed to help your pet manage a particular ailment or chronic disease. Our knowledgeable staff will explain the benefits of each product, as well as the length of time that a special diet may be needed.
Heart Testing (ECG)
Just like humans, cats and dogs can develop various types of heart disease. We offer electrocardiography (ECG) testing and assessment at the hospital, and when needed, also consult with specialists to confirm diagnosis and treatment options.
X-ray Services
X-rays of your pet are taken at our hospital, are processed instantly, interpreted by our veterinarians, and stored in a digital format for future reference. When needed, we also consult with specialists to confirm diagnosis and treatment options.
Behaviour Counselling
Has your pet developed a bad habit? Odd or inappropriate behavior could be a sign of a health issue, or it could just be a bad habit. We recommend a complete wellness exam to rule out any physical ailment, and can then provide training and treatment recommendations for a variety of behavioral problems. We also have access to Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorists for especially challenging cases.
Pain Managment
Bakerview Pet Hospital believes that proper pain assessment and individually tailored pain management plans are a vital part of overall disease and injury management, and improved quality of life.
Skin Conditions
Because of our unique setting in the Fraser Valley, allergic skin issues are common. We are fully equipped to work through these sometimes very frustrating cases and if necessary, refer you to a specialist in veterinary dermatology.
Reproductive Services
We offer laboratory screening tests, cesarean sections and litter exams.
Tattoo & Microchip Implantation
Your best chance of having a pet returned to you is ensuring that they are identified as yours. Our tattoo program is a BC-wide system used to identify your pet in case they are lost or stolen. Our microchip program covers all of North America and is recommended for pets who travel outside of BC.
