Avon Animal Hospital provides comprehensive pet care services for dogs and cats throughout Surrey, Langley, and the surrounding Cloverdale and Newton communities. From annual wellness exams and core vaccinations to flea and tick prevention, microchipping, and nail trims, our team supports your pet's health at every life stage. We care for puppies and kittens through to senior dogs and cats, offering practical, compassionate guidance tailored to your pet's individual needs. Open seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, so your schedule does not have to come second.
Annual and semi-annual wellness exams are the foundation of your pet's long-term health. During each visit, our veterinarians perform a thorough nose-to-tail physical assessment, checking your pet's weight, coat, teeth, eyes, ears, heart, and joints. Wellness exams give us the opportunity to identify early signs of concern before they become larger problems, and allow us to build a preventive care plan specific to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle. We recommend annual exams for healthy adult pets and more frequent visits for puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Starting regular exams early sets a strong health baseline for years to come.
Vaccinations protect your dog or cat from a range of serious and potentially life-threatening infectious diseases. At Avon Animal Hospital, we follow core vaccination schedules aligned with CVMA guidelines for pets in British Columbia. Core vaccines for dogs include distemper, parvovirus, and rabies. Core vaccines for cats include feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and rabies. We also provide lifestyle vaccinations tailored to your pet's risk exposure, including Bordetella for dogs in regular contact with other animals. Our veterinarians will build a vaccination schedule based on your pet's age, health history, and environment, and keep your records up to date at every visit.
Surrey and the Fraser Valley are active regions for fleas and ticks throughout the year, making consistent prevention a critical part of your pet's care routine. At Avon Animal Hospital, we offer flea and tick prevention options for both dogs and cats, helping protect your pet from parasites that can cause skin irritation, anemia, and vector-borne illness. Our team will assess your pet's outdoor exposure and lifestyle to recommend an approach that fits. Year-round prevention is often the most effective strategy, especially for pets that spend time in wooded or grassy areas. Ask our team which option is right for your pet at your next visit.
A microchip is the most reliable form of permanent identification for your dog or cat. At Avon Animal Hospital, we perform quick, low-stress microchip implantation using a sterile process that takes only a few seconds. The chip contains a unique ID number linked to your contact details in a national pet registry. If your pet is ever lost and scanned at a shelter or veterinary clinic, you can be reunited quickly. We recommend keeping your contact information current in the registry after implantation. Microchipping is available for dogs and cats of all ages, including during spay and neuter procedures.
Overgrown nails can cause discomfort, affect your pet's gait, and contribute to joint stress over time. Regular nail trims are a simple and important part of routine care. At Avon Animal Hospital, our team provides professional nail trims for dogs and cats in a calm, low-stress setting. Many pets feel anxious about nail care, and we work patiently to make the experience as comfortable as possible. If your pet needs additional support during nail trims, ask about our sedated nail trim option available through our Medical Grooming service.
Puppies have specific nutritional needs that differ from adult dogs, requiring higher protein levels, calcium, and energy-dense calories to support healthy growth. At Avon Animal Hospital, we provide puppy nutrition guidance to help you select the right food, portion size, and feeding schedule for your growing dog. We consider factors such as breed size, projected adult weight, and current growth rate to offer guidance tailored to your puppy's individual needs. A solid nutritional foundation in the first year supports healthy muscle and bone development through adulthood.
Kittens grow rapidly in their first year of life, and their nutritional requirements are distinct from those of adult cats. At Avon Animal Hospital, we guide new kitten owners through choosing the right food type, calorie level, and feeding routine for their kitten's age and development stage. We also address common questions about transitioning between food types and the differences between wet and dry diets. A strong nutritional start in kittenhood supports long-term immune health, organ development, and a healthy weight throughout your cat's life.
