Day-to-day pet care is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your dog or cat. At Ridgeview Animal Hospital in Fraser Heights, our team provides the full range of routine and preventive services your companion needs at every life stage, from a puppy or kitten's first visit through their senior years. As an AAHA-accredited practice serving Fraser Heights, North Surrey, Guildford, and Port Kells, we follow a recognized standard of care that prioritizes thorough exams, evidence-based recommendations, and clear, transparent communication with you.
Annual wellness exams are the single most important visit you can schedule for your dog or cat. During a physical exam, we check weight, body condition, dental health, ears, eyes, skin, joints, heart, and lungs, then tailor a vaccine plan to your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk profile. Core vaccines protect against serious infectious diseases common in Surrey and the Lower Mainland, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and the respiratory complex. Lifestyle vaccines such as Bordetella, Leptospirosis, and feline leukemia are recommended based on your dog or cat's exposure risk in the Fraser Heights and Guildford area.
Surrey's mild, wet climate keeps fleas active nearly year-round, and ticks are a growing concern across Fraser Heights, Guildford, Port Kells, and the broader North Surrey area. We offer modern preventive products for dogs and cats that protect against fleas, ticks, heartworm, and internal parasites in a single monthly or seasonal dose. We also provide routine deworming and parasite screening so small problems are caught before they affect your pet's health.
A microchip is a permanent form of identification roughly the size of a grain of rice, placed under the skin between the shoulder blades. If your dog or cat is ever lost in Fraser Heights, North Surrey, or anywhere else in Canada, a scan at any clinic or shelter returns your contact information so your pet can come home. Microchipping is quick, performed during a regular appointment, and is often combined with a spay or neuter while your pet is already at the clinic.
Routine grooming-adjacent care matters more than most pet parents realize. Overgrown nails cause posture problems and joint pain. Untreated ear buildup leads to painful infections. Impacted anal glands cause discomfort and, in dogs, scooting and licking. Our technicians provide nail trims, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression as standalone appointments or alongside any other visit.
Most puppies and kittens come in for their first exam between 6 and 8 weeks of age. This visit establishes a baseline, starts the vaccination series, and gives our team time to answer all the questions new pet owners have. If you've just brought a new pet home, call us to book an introductory visit as soon as possible.
Healthy adult dogs and cats benefit from an annual wellness exam. Senior pets, pets with chronic health concerns, and pets on long-term care plans are generally seen every six months so changes are caught earlier. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters should also have a yearly wellness check because they hide illness well.
In Surrey and the broader Lower Mainland, mild winters mean fleas and ticks can remain active year-round, especially in wooded and parkland areas. Most pets benefit from a year-round prevention plan. We'll review your pet's lifestyle and recommend an option suited to their weight and exposure risk.
A microchip is inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades with a single injection. It feels similar to a routine vaccine injection, takes seconds, and does not require sedation for most pets. Many owners choose to schedule it alongside a spay or neuter when their pet is already under anaesthetic.
A wellness visit is a preventive check-up for a pet who appears healthy, focused on screening, vaccines, and parasite care. A sick visit is booked when your pet is showing symptoms such as vomiting, limping, coughing, or behaviour changes. Both are important, and our team can help you decide which is right for today.
Book a wellness visit at our Fraser Heights clinic at 10833 160 Street, Unit 605, or call (604) 359-6464. We are open Monday to Saturday for the convenience of families across Fraser Heights, North Surrey, Guildford, and Port Kells.
