Pet Care Services in North Surrey
Routine pet care is the single most reliable way to help your dog or cat live a longer, more comfortable life. Annual wellness exams, age-appropriate vaccines, parasite prevention, and good nutrition catch small concerns before they grow into bigger ones. At our AAHA-accredited hospital in Fraser Heights, our team gives every pet an unhurried visit, a clear plan, and a written estimate before anything is recommended. We're open Monday to Friday until 7:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so routine care fits around busy North Surrey schedules. Call (604) 359-6464 to book.
Annual Wellness Exams in North Surrey
An annual exam is far more than a quick weigh-in. Our veterinarian listens to the heart and lungs, checks teeth and gums for periodontal change, evaluates body condition, palpates the abdomen, looks at the eyes and ears, and reviews the skin and coat. For younger dogs and cats, this is the chance to confirm growth and behaviour are on track. For senior pets, age-appropriate bloodwork can catch early kidney, liver, or thyroid change long before signs are visible at home.
Vaccinations and Parasite Prevention for Dogs and Cats
Core vaccines protect against contagious illnesses that remain present in our community. We tailor non-core vaccine recommendations to lifestyle risk: dogs that hike Tynehead Regional Park or board occasionally, cats that go outdoors, dogs with high social exposure at dog parks in Guildford. Year-round flea, tick, and intestinal parasite prevention is the standard recommendation for the Lower Mainland because mild winters keep parasite activity high. We discuss the right product and schedule with you at each visit.
Microchipping and Identification
A microchip is a permanent form of identification, placed under the skin between the shoulder blades during a routine visit. It does not replace a collar tag but it dramatically improves the odds of being reunited if your dog or cat is ever lost. We register the chip during the appointment and confirm the contact details before you leave. Microchipping is a quick procedure most pets tolerate well alongside a wellness exam.
Nutrition and Weight Guidance
Weight is one of the most influential factors in long-term health for dogs and cats. We assess body condition at every visit and discuss food choices, portioning, and activity in plain language. For pets with allergies, gastrointestinal sensitivity, urinary concerns, or weight to lose, a therapeutic diet may be recommended for a defined period. We talk through realistic options that fit your household, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Senior Pet Wellness
Dogs and cats are considered senior earlier than many owners realise. From around seven years, screening bloodwork and a focused exam can detect subtle change in kidney function, liver enzymes, thyroid balance, and blood sugar. Pairing this with conversations about mobility, comfort, and behaviour at home helps us build a senior care plan that prioritises quality of life. House-call options are available for seniors who find clinic visits difficult.

FAQ's
How often should my dog or cat see the vet for routine care?
For most healthy adult dogs and cats, an annual wellness exam is the standard. Puppies and kittens are seen several times in the first year for the core vaccine series, and senior pets benefit from a visit every six months once they reach about seven years of age.
Do you do same-day vaccine catch-ups?
In many cases, yes. Call us at (604) 359-6464 in the morning and we can usually book a same-day or next-day slot for vaccine catch-ups. If your dog or cat hasn't been seen in over a year, we'll pair the vaccines with a quick wellness exam.
Do you serve clients from Guildford and Walnut Grove?
Yes. We see clients across North Surrey, including Fraser Heights, Guildford, Port Kells, and Tynehead, as well as Walnut Grove and Willoughby Heights in Langley just across the boundary. Free on-site parking is available at the clinic.
What's included in a wellness visit at Ridgeview?
A full nose-to-tail physical exam, vaccine review and booster as appropriate, parasite prevention recommendations, nutrition and weight assessment, and a written estimate for any additional work suggested. We never proceed beyond the exam without your approval.
