Frequently Asked Questions about Vancouver Veterinary Hospital

Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we are! We understand choosing the right veterinarian is a crucial decision for your pet’s health. We welcome new patients and appreciate you considering our hospital for your pet’s care.

How can I make an appointment?
Simply call us at 604-876-2231, and our team will help you schedule a convenient appointment time.

What’s the healthiest diet for my pet?
Every pet has unique dietary needs. Our veterinarians provide personalized nutrition recommendations based on your pet’s specific health status and conditions. We especially focus on dietary management for pets with medical conditions.

What vaccines does my pet need?
While vaccines are crucial for disease prevention, we customize vaccination plans based on your pet’s lifestyle. We offer vaccine titer testing to determine protection levels and assess booster needs. Fatal diseases like rabies, parvovirus, and distemper still exist in Canada, making appropriate vaccination essential.

When can my puppy safely go outside?
The timing depends on your puppy’s age and vaccination status. While early socialization is crucial, we provide specific guidelines to balance safety with development. Generally, puppies can interact with vaccinated adult dogs, but dog parks should be avoided until vaccination series completion.

Should I brush my pet’s teeth?
Yes! Dental health is crucial for overall wellness. We recommend starting dental care early, using positive reinforcement. Professional cleaning services are also available at our hospital.

How do I handle flea problems?
In BC’s climate, year-round flea prevention is necessary. We recommend veterinary-approved products tailored to your pet’s needs. We advise against over-the-counter products due to safety and efficacy concerns.

How do I introduce a new pet to my household?
We recommend gradual introductions:
– For dogs: Start in neutral territory, then supervise home interactions
– For cats: Maintain separate spaces initially, allowing gradual familiarization through scent and controlled meetings

What’s the appropriate bathing frequency for pets?
Bathing frequency varies based on coat type, activity level, and skin conditions. We provide personalized recommendations to maintain healthy skin and coat without over-bathing.
