Wellness & Preventative Care

We believe in preventative care!

Pets can’t tell us when something’s wrong but that doesn’t mean we can’t catch it early. At Village Gate Animal Hospital, we believe regular wellness exams are the best way to keep your pet healthy long term.

From nose to tail, our vets check for signs of illness you might not notice at home. We’ll talk through changes in behaviour, weight, appetite, and more and recommend screenings or diagnostics only when it makes sense.

Why prevention matters:

• Early detection = fewer emergencies
• Catch dental issues, lumps, parasites, or chronic illness before symptoms show
• Track long-term trends in your pet’s health

Whether you’re coming in for a yearly checkup or a vaccine update, we treat each visit as a chance to keep your pet thriving not just surviving.
