Pet Vaccinations & Preventive Care
Provide a Healthy Future for Your Cat or Dog
Did you know that vaccines can greatly benefit your beloved cat or dog?
Vaccines play a crucial role in preventing diseases, life-threatening illnesses, and ensuring the overall health and well-being of your pet.
With regular vaccinations, you give your pet long-lasting immunity against various contagious diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus and feline leukemia. This not only safeguards their health, but also contributes to the overall well-being of the animal population in your community.
Be sure to schedule regular checkups with your veterinarian to ensure that your pet receives all necessary vaccinations.

Spaying & Neutering
Spaying or neutering prevents the birth of unwanted litters, protects your pet against various illnesses and helps to prevent unwanted behaviours like aggression and roaming.
Our Creston animal clinic performs these common surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites pose a serious threat to the health and longevity of your cat or dog, and in some cases they can even transmit them to other pets or people living in your house.
Our parasite prevention products can protect your dog or cat from common parasites, including fleas, ticks, ear mites, heartworms and more.
Microchipping
Our veterinarians can place a tiny microchip under your pet's skin as a permanent form of pet identification.
If pets become lost, microchipping increases their chances of being reunited with their owners.
