Wellness Care

Routine wellness care forms the foundation of a healthy life. During your pet’s check-up, our veterinarians perform a nose-to-tail exam, assess their vital signs, discuss any changes you’ve noticed, and review lifestyle and behavior.

These visits are also the perfect time to ask questions and stay on top of your pet’s needs. By monitoring your pet regularly, we can detect concerns early, when they’re easier and more cost-effective to manage.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are a simple but vital part of preventive care. At Vetcare, we tailor your pet’s vaccination schedule to their age, environment, and risk factors, ensuring they receive protection without over-vaccination.

Core vaccines help protect against widespread and potentially fatal diseases, while lifestyle vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s individual activities, exposure risks, and environment.

We offer the following core vaccines for dogs and cats:

  • Rabies
  • Canine Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus (DAPP)
  • Feline Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (FVRCP)

Lifestyle (non-core) vaccines may include:

  • Bordetella (kennel cough)
  • Leptospirosis
  • Canine Influenza
  • Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV)

Whether it’s a first round of shots for a new puppy or ongoing boosters for an adult pet, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Parasite Prevention

Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms are more than a nuisance — they can cause serious health problems and even be transmitted to humans. That’s why parasite prevention is an essential part of our care approach.

We offer safe, effective options to help protect your pet year-round. Our team will work with you to choose products that fit your pet’s needs and your family’s lifestyle.

Our parasite prevention services target the following threats:

  • Fleas – which can cause skin irritation, anaemia, and tapeworms
  • Ticks – carriers of diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis
  • Heartworms – a potentially fatal condition transmitted by mosquitoes

We’ll help you stay ahead of seasonal and environmental risks with a personalized parasite prevention plan.

Nutritional Counseling

A balanced diet can improve your pet’s energy, digestion, coat health, and even behavior. At Vetcare, we offer pet nutritional counselling to help you make confident, informed choices about what your dog or cat eats.

Whether your pet needs weight management, support for chronic conditions, or help transitioning to a new life stage, our team provides practical, evidence-based recommendations that match your pet’s needs and your lifestyle.

Why Preventive Care Matters
