Wellness Program for Dogs, Cats, and Small Animals in Abbotsford

Preventive care is the single most cost-effective investment you can make in your pet's long-term health. Catching concerns early, staying ahead of parasites, and keeping vaccines current reduces the likelihood of more complex and costly health events down the road. Gladys Pet Hospital's wellness programs are built around this philosophy, structured care packages that make it easier for Abbotsford pet owners to stay consistent with their pet's health schedule, with the flexibility of seven-day access to our team when it works for your family.

Puppy and Kitten First-Year Plans

The first year of a puppy's or kitten's life involves some of the most important veterinary milestones they will ever reach. Vaccine series, parasite screening and prevention, spay and neuter timing, microchipping, and early behavioural guidance are all part of setting a young pet up well. Our puppy and kitten first-year plans bundle these core visits and services into a structured programme that keeps you on track and ensures nothing is missed. Our team guides you through each stage of the first year, answers your questions along the way, and helps you understand what to expect as your pet grows. Mission and Abbotsford families have trusted us with their puppy and kitten care since 2016.

Annual Wellness Packages

For adult pets, annual wellness packages bundle the core preventive care services your pet needs each year, including a thorough physical exam, core vaccines as indicated, parasite screening, and a dental assessment, into a coordinated visit that helps you stay ahead of health changes. Adult wellness visits are also an opportunity to discuss any observations you have made about your pet's behaviour, appetite, or energy, and to review whether any adjustments to their care routine are worth considering. Annual packages help ensure that important preventive care is completed consistently, year after year.

Bundled Vaccine and Exam Visits

For pet owners who prefer a more flexible approach, we offer bundled vaccine and exam visits that combine a wellness exam with the specific vaccines your pet is due for on that visit. This approach suits pets who do not need a full annual package on every visit, or families who prefer to book individual vaccine appointments alongside routine exams. Our team tracks your pet's vaccine history and will let you know which vaccines are due and on what schedule, removing the guesswork from managing a multi-pet household's preventive care calendar.

Parasite Prevention Bundles

Consistent parasite prevention is more effective than reactive management. Our parasite prevention bundles help you maintain year-round protection against fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites without having to remember to reorder individually throughout the year. Our team selects prevention products appropriate for your pet's species, weight, lifestyle, and risk profile. We stock veterinary-grade products on-site, so you can pick up what you need at every visit rather than tracking down products between appointments.

FAQs

What is included in a puppy first-year wellness plan at Gladys Pet Hospital?

A puppy first-year plan covers the core veterinary milestones of your puppy’s first year, including their initial exam, the puppy vaccine series, parasite screening and prevention, microchipping, spay or neuter timing guidance, and ongoing check-ins as they grow. Our team walks you through each stage and ensures your puppy has everything they need to start their life on a healthy foundation. Contact us to discuss what the first-year plan includes and when to begin.

When should I bring my new kitten in for their first vet visit?

Veterinarians generally recommend bringing a new kitten in for their first exam as soon as possible, ideally within the first week of arriving home. This allows our team to assess their overall health, check for parasites, begin the vaccine series at the appropriate age, and discuss feeding, litter, and behavioural topics. Starting early sets the tone for a healthy life and helps you feel confident in how to care for your new kitten.

Does my adult cat really need an annual wellness exam if they seem healthy?

Yes, annual wellness exams are recommended even for pets who appear completely well. Cats in particular are skilled at concealing signs of discomfort or early illness, and some conditions develop gradually enough that changes only become apparent during a hands-on examination. An annual exam also gives our team a baseline to compare against, making future changes easier to identify. Catching a concern early is almost always better than addressing it after it has progressed.

What parasite prevention products are available on-site?

We stock a range of veterinary-recommended parasite prevention products for dogs, cats, and small animals. The right product for your pet depends on their species, weight, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our team will discuss options during your visit and help you choose something that fits your pet’s needs. We do not recommend relying on over-the-counter products, which vary significantly in effectiveness and may not be appropriate for your specific pet.
