Dog Wellness

Regular wellness care and preventative medicine are the cornerstones of good dog health. At Holliday Veterinary Hospital, we are dedicated to providing your pet with the best care possible, thereby ensuring a longer, healthier and happier life.

Our clinic offers annual physical examinations, vaccinations as required, dental check-ups for dogs to help avoid illness and minimize the need to treat preventable diseases. Wellness visits are also an excellent time to bring up any concerns that you may have about your dogs health and behaviour or eating habits. We encourage you to openly communicate and share with us so that together we can work toward ensuring a long, happy and healthy life for your animal companion.

Surgery

The highly skilled and well-trained staff at Holliday Veterinary Hospital are prepared to provide our patients with safe, efficient surgery using up-to-date surgical and anesthesia equipment and techniques.  Surgical procedures performed at Holliday Veterinary Hospital include routine surgeries, such as spaying and neutering, as well as more complicated soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures.

Regardless of the type of procedure, the utmost care is given to your pet’s comfort and safety, before, during and after surgery. Pre-anesthetic screening, specialized monitoring equipment and thorough pain management are all utilized to reduce anesthetic risk, and every procedure is carefully performed and monitored by our dedicated and compassionate Veterinary Technicians.

In the event that a difficult or complicated surgical treatment is required, we are also able to refer you and your pet to a surgical specialist.

At Holliday Veterinary Hospital we want you to know that your animal companion is in good hands with us. Our goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible, both for you and your pet, and to get your animal companion on the road to recovery quickly.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics, such as blood tests, urinalysis and x-rays, help us to delve deeper to identify and diagnose possible health conditions as well as develop and deliver the appropriate course of treatment in a timely manner. At Holliday Veterinary Hospital, we offer a variety of diagnostic services that help us to better care for and treat our patients. Our goal is to quickly and accurately handle any medical issues so that we can get your pet back to feeling healthy as soon as possible.

Our in-house x-ray equipment enables us to quickly assess the status of injuries and many diseases that may be affecting your pet under the surface of the skin. X-rays use radiology to provide additional information regarding your pet’s illness or condition, which then assists us in selecting the most appropriate treatment plan.
