The pet wellness program at Renfrew Animal Hospital provides structured, life-stage care plans for dogs and cats in East Vancouver. Designed to cover your pet's preventive health needs from puppyhood and kittenhood through to their senior years, each wellness tier includes physical examinations, vaccinations, parasite screening, and nutritional guidance tailored to your pet's age. Open seven days a week at 1801 Renfrew St, Vancouver, Renfrew Animal Hospital makes it easy to keep your dog or cat on track with the preventive care they need throughout every stage of their life.
The first year of a puppy's life involves rapid physical development, a series of core vaccinations, intestinal parasite screening, deworming, and foundational health assessments. Our puppy wellness program begins with an initial examination to evaluate your puppy's growth and general condition, followed by a vaccination schedule covering distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and rabies. We discuss preventive care for fleas, ticks, and heartworm, and provide guidance on nutrition and socialization appropriate for your puppy's breed and size. Puppy visits are an opportunity to address any questions you have and establish a positive veterinary experience for your dog from the very start.
Kittens require a comparable series of early life veterinary visits to establish their immunity and confirm healthy development. Our kitten wellness program includes physical examination, core vaccinations protecting against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and rabies, as well as intestinal parasite screening, deworming, and microchipping. We provide practical guidance on indoor and outdoor safety, socialization, and early dental care habits. Each kitten visit at Renfrew Animal Hospital is conducted in a calm, patient-focused environment designed to minimize stress for both your kitten and for you as a new owner.
Adult dogs and cats benefit most from annual wellness exams that confirm stable health and identify any gradual changes before they develop into more significant concerns. For adult pets, a wellness visit typically includes a full physical examination, dental assessment, weight monitoring, and a review of vaccination status. Our team will assess whether your adult pet is on appropriate parasite prevention and discuss any behavioral or dietary changes you may have noticed at home. Adult wellness visits are also the right time to discuss spaying or neutering if not already completed and to plan for the transition into the senior care stage.
Senior dogs and cats have different health priorities than younger pets and benefit from more frequent veterinary assessments. At Renfrew Animal Hospital, we recommend semi-annual wellness visits for pets aged seven and older to monitor for age-related conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, kidney function changes, thyroid imbalances, and cognitive changes. Senior wellness visits include a physical examination, bloodwork, urinalysis, and weight assessment. Our team works with you to create a health management plan that keeps your senior pet comfortable and maintains their quality of life for as long as possible.
