We provide vaccines to keep your pet healthy, always paired with a full physical exam. For dogs, our core vaccines include Rabies, DAPP, and Leptospirosis; for cats, FVRCP and Rabies. Your veterinarian will work with you to decide if any additional vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle and needs.

We also provide a wide range of blood work panels that will give us insight as to how well your pet’s organs are functioning. With a small blood sample, we can see how well your pet’s internal organs (such as kidney, liver or pancreas) are functioning.  If there are any issues at this point, you and your veterinarian can create a medical plan that works individually for your pet.

Heartworm/tick testing is also offered yearly in the spring for all of our canine patients.

We offer comprehensive care to keep your pet healthy, including:

• Blood work panels – Assess organ function and overall health (kidneys, liver, pancreas).

• Urinalysis – Provides additional insight into kidney function and overall health.

• Fecal analysis – Screens for intestinal parasites and helps maintain digestive health.

• Individualized care plans – If any concerns are found, we work with you to create a tailored plan for your pet.

• Heartworm/Tick test – Annual blood test for dogs.

Protecting your pet from internal and external parasites is essential for their health and your family’s safety. Parasites can cause issues from mild digestive upset to serious illness. At Chedoke Animal Hospital, we create personalized parasite prevention plans to meet your pet’s specific needs.

A well-balanced diet is essential to your pet’s health, just as it is for humans. Our staff can help you select the diet most appropriate for your pet’s life stage. We are happy to explain how our veterinary diets work and address common misconceptions about the ingredients in your pet’s food.

We offer spay and neuter surgeries for dog, and cats. Spaying or neutering your pet not only prevents unwanted pregnancies, it also provides many other health benefits to your pet, such as decreased roaming, no heats, decreased marking behaviours and a decrease in the chance of developing reproductive cancers.

If your pet is up to date with their vaccines and has been to the clinic within the year, all you have to do is book a pre-surgical visit.  At this time, the paperwork will be signed, questions answered, and your pet with have a pre-surgical examination that includes pre-anesthetic blood work.  This way, on the day of surgery, all you have to do is leave your fasted pet in our care to have their surgery.  

All animals that have surgeries here at Chedoke Animal Hospital are given intravenous (IV) fluids and necessary pain medications to ensure your pet is comfortable and safe, both before and after surgery.  While in our care, a Registered Veterinary Technician monitors your pet before, during and after surgery.  If you have any questions in regards to how surgeries are performed, contact the clinic and we’d be happy to answer them for you.

A wide variety of non-elective surgeries, such as mass removal, bladder surgery (cystotomy) and orthopedic procedures can be performed at Chedoke Animal Hospital. 

Your pet’s oral health is important to maintaining their overall health.  We are proud to offer routine dental cleaning to aid in the prevention of oral disease. By the age of two, the majority of all pets have some form of dental disease.  Poor oral hygiene can lead to poor organ health as well. If your pet needs dental extractions, we are able to do them at the clinic. We also have digital dental x-rays available to check on your pet’s teeth below the gum line, just like your own dentist uses.

Digital X-rays
Digital radiographs allow us to take a detailed look at your pet’s internal health. These images help our veterinarians assess soft tissue and bone injuries, as well as evaluate the chest and abdominal organs. Because our system is fully digital, images are available instantly for rapid diagnosis and treatment planning.

Ultrasound Services
We now offer comprehensive thoracic and abdominal ultrasound examinations in-clinic. These advanced imaging tools give us a real-time view of your pet’s internal organs, helping diagnose conditions that may not be visible on X-rays alone.

Cardiac Imaging & Monitoring
For patients with suspected or known heart conditions, we provide:

• Cardiac echocardiograms (cardiac ultrasound) — to assess heart structure and function

• Electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG) — to evaluate heart rhythm and electrical activity

All ultrasound studies are reviewed by a board-certified specialist, who provides a detailed report of findings along with recommendations for follow-up care or treatment.

What is it?

Class IV therapeutic laser therapy—also known as photobiomodulation—uses a focused light source that penetrates deeply into targeted tissues. This light energy stimulates cellular repair, enhances blood flow, and reduces inflammation. The result is faster healing, improved tissue regeneration, and effective pain reduction for your pet.

We use photobiomodulation therapy to support healing after routine surgeries, soft tissue injuries, arthritis, wounds, and hip dysplasia, as well as many other conditions where reducing inflammation and promoting tissue recovery are beneficial.

We are here to provide the best care for your pet when you need us most. Our team is committed to continuous learning and staying current with advancements in veterinary medicine so we can offer the highest level of treatment options and support.

Hospitalized patients are monitored closely by our veterinarians and Registered Veterinary Technicians throughout the day as they receive their treatments. For overnight monitoring, patients are transferred to a dedicated emergency hospital to ensure they receive continuous, around-the-clock care. This approach ensures your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.

Chedoke Animal Hospital is happy to refer your pet for specialized care when needed. We provide referrals for pets under our ongoing care, meaning patients who have been seen by our team within the past year. Areas of referral include oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, internal medicine, neurology, behaviour, rehabilitation, and specialized surgical services.
