Comprehensive Canine Veterinary Care

Your dog is an important member of your family. Like the rest of your family, you make sure he gets the best food to eat, fun toys to play with, and plenty of exercise to keep him healthy. Unlike the rest of your family, your dog can not tell you when something is wrong. Because dogs often hide signs of illness or injury, it can be difficult to know when your dog needs attention; Seafair Animal Clinic can help.

At Seafair, we believe your dog deserves the best of everything, and medical care is no exception. We work hard to keep your dog happy and healthy through comprehensive veterinary care that prevents and treats all potential illnesses and injuries. Our goal is to provide quality, comprehensive veterinary services to ensure that your dog leads a long, happy, and healthy life. Seafair offers a variety of veterinary services for your canine companion, including nutrition information, vaccinations, spay and neuter procedures, parasite control, and regular checkups.

Canine Nutrition

Proper nutrition is just as important for your dog as it is for you, and understanding your dog’s nutrition requirements is a major factor in maintaining good health and preventing disease. A healthy diet aids digestion, promotes healthy skin and a luxurious coat, reduces obesity related medical conditions, and improves your dog’s immune system. As dogs age and change, so do their nutrition requirements. Taking into consideration factors such as age, weight, and allergies, the veterinarians at Seafair can help you develop a healthy eating plan for your dog.

Many years of experience have led us to select Royal Canin and Hill’s Prescription Diets as our preferred dog foods.

Disease Prevention

Vaccinations are your dog’s foundation for healthy living. Vaccinations protect your dog from a number of harmful and potentially fatal viruses. Typically, your puppy will receive 3 sets of vaccinations, spread one month apart. Because this timeline can vary between puppies, the veterinarians at Seafair will create a vaccination schedule that best fits your puppy’s needs. In addition, we will provide you with an ongoing booster routine, so your dog will stay protected throughout its life.

Spay or Neuter Procedures

At Seafair, we highly recommend spaying or neutering your dog. Besides preventing unwanted litters and overpopulation, sterilization provides many health and behavioural benefits. Sterilization reduces the risk of both mammary and prostate cancer, as well as roaming behaviour and territory marking. Sterilized puppies are (CAN BE) calmer, gentler, and easier to train. We typically recommend spaying or neutering your puppy at four to six months of age.

Sterilization at Seafair is a safe and thorough procedure. We recommend your dog have pre-surgical blood work in order to identify any potential risks. This will determine whether general anesthesia is safe for your dog. We use human-quality anesthetics and many safety measures comparable to those at human hospitals to ensure a successful operation and smooth recovery. The procedure requires an all-day hospital stay, so we can provide the best care for your dog.

Parasite Protection

Puppies are often born with internal parasites. These parasites come in many varieties and present with varying symptoms, such as diarrhea and loss of energy. Through a fecal exam, the veterinarians at Seafair can determine which parasites are present and prescribe treatment accordingly. Because adult dogs are also susceptible to parasites, it is important to maintain ongoing preventative care throughout your dog’s life. Internal parasites can also be spread to you and your family. Our job at Seafair is to keep you, your canine companion, and your family safe.

Checkup Time

Your dog should receive regular health checkups, just like you should. Routine checkups allow the veterinarians at Seafair to prevent and detect illnesses and to maintain your dog’s overall good health. Routine checkups are particularly important for dogs, as they age approximately seven times faster than humans and often conceal pain and illness.

At Seafair, we believe regular checkups are essential for maintaining the health of your dog. Our veterinarians would love to see your dog for a comprehensive physical exam every six to twelve months in order to prevent and identify any health concerns.
