From the very first puppy visit to advanced surgical and diagnostic care, our team delivers thoughtful, modern medicine for the dogs and cats of Langley.
If you have any questions about any of our services, please contact us — we're always happy to walk you through it.
Annual and semi‑annual visits are the foundation of a long, healthy life. We tailor every plan to your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk — never a one‑size‑fits‑all checklist.
Professional cleaning is the only way to remove tartar from teeth and under the gum line. Recommended once a year after age 3 (sooner for smaller breeds). We'd love to show you our before‑and‑after photos in person.
Vaccines protect against feline panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, herpesvirus, leukemia and rabies — and help establish community herd immunity. We tailor protocols to your cat's lifestyle, indoor or out.
Your dog's vaccine schedule is built around their life — puppy first‑shots, the hiker who needs Lepto, the social butterfly who boards often. Vaccinations prevent rabies, parvo, and distemper, and protect public health by reducing zoonotic disease.
Routine surgery performed with modern anesthesia and gentle recovery. Most kittens come in for breakfast and head home that same afternoon, comfortable and resting. We also offer the Ovary Sparing Spay — call for pricing and a complimentary consultation.
We offer both traditional spay and the newer ovary‑sparing spay (OSS) — preserving your dog's natural hormones while still eliminating heat cycles and pregnancy risk. Recommend waiting until at least 6 months of age, or after the first heat cycle. Call to book a complimentary spay consultation. OSS pricing available on request.
Traditional neuter or the hormone‑sparing vasectomy alternative — both performed with the same gentle approach. Vasectomy preserves the testicles while preventing fertility. Call to book a complimentary neuter consultation. Vasectomy pricing available on request.
Comprehensive reproductive care for responsible breeders — from progesterone timing through whelping and puppy wellness. We support you at every stage.
When your pet doesn't feel right, you shouldn't have to wait days for answers. Our in‑house lab and modern imaging deliver fast, accurate insight — often within the same visit.
From routine soft‑tissue procedures to orthopedic repairs, our surgical suite is equipped with modern monitoring, multimodal pain control, and warm recovery suites.
Travel knowing your pet is in qualified, caring hands — with medical oversight just steps away. We coordinate medications, special diets, and daily check‑ins.
A three‑step process: a sedative injection to ease your companion into a deep, peaceful sleep — followed by a painless final IV — with our team supporting you through every moment. We work with Gateway Pet Memorial for respectful aftercare. Payment can be arranged over the phone before our arrival, or in person up to one hour before.
A quick primer on how prescriptions work at our clinic — plus the legal requirements that protect your pet.
We refill medications for pets with chronic conditions such as:
We must have seen your pet within the last 12 months. Long‑term medications also require periodic monitoring bloodwork and/or other diagnostic procedures before refills.
For any new symptom or problem — even in a pet we already see — we need to examine your pet before dispensing any medication. Examples of new conditions that require a visit:
The same applies to new pets and pets from non‑client households — we need to see the pet before we can dispense any medication. Book a visit and we'll take care of it in the same appointment.
BC provincial licensing law requires a valid Veterinarian‑Client‑Patient Relationship (VCPR) before we can legally dispense any medication.
This isn't red tape — it's the safest way to make sure the medication is right for your pet's current condition.
