Pet Vaccinations & Preventive Care
The Prevention of Illness & Disease in Pets
For pet parents who are interested in taking a holistic approach to the care of their dog or cat, vaccines may be a difficult subject. At Pawsitive Veterinary Care, we believe in a cautious, more minimalist approach to vaccinations and booster shots for pets.
Our veterinarians will work with you to determine the best timing for your dog or cat's vaccinations and strive to avoid potential side effects that could occur after vaccinations.
Preventing illness and promoting optimal health are at the very heart of holistic veterinary care. Through regularly scheduled checkups, optimal nutrition and holistic therapies, we will work to help boost your fur baby's natural defenses to stave off disease.
Titre Testing for Dogs & Cats in Kelowna
We offer titre testing to check your pet's level of antibodies to determine whether a particular booster is necessary.
Cat & Dog Vaccination Schedule
Our Kelowna veterinarians know that vaccines can be an effective part of holistic veterinary care but should be provided only when necessary to aid your dog or cat's immune system.
We take the time to get to know your pet. We will evaluate their overall health, antibody levels, lifestyle and age before vaccinations are provided.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites can pose a serious threat to the health and longevity of your cat or dog, and in some cases can even be transmitted to people or other pets living in your household.
Our veterinarians can provide you with essential guidance on protecting your pet against parasite-transmitted conditions naturally, but also offer conventional parasite prevention products.
Surgical Sterilization for Dogs & Cats
When it comes to sterilizing your pet, a one-size-fits-all cookie-cutter approach may no longer be the best choice for every pet. For some pets, standard spaying and neutering procedures starting at seven months of age may be fine. However, many pets benefit from alternative approaches such as later spaying or neutering, or hormone sparing sterilization.
We carefully assess the needs of each pet before providing recommendations on when and how to sterilize your dog or cat. Allowing you to rest assured that you are doing the best for your furry friend while remaining socially responsible.
Microchipping
At Pawsitive Veterinary Care, we can place a tiny microchip under your pet's skin as a permanent form of pet identification. Pets that are microchipped have a better chance of being reunited with their owners if they become lost.
