Vaccinations & Preventive Care
Promoting Long-Term Optimal Health For Pets
Prevention is almost always easier (and more affordable) than treatment. That's why at Omemee Veterinary Hospital, we focus on preventive care to keep common diseases and disorders from impacting your cat or dog's health in the first place.
When combined with annual wellness exams and parasite prevention, regularly scheduled vaccinations are the cornerstone of your four-legged friend's annual preventive care. These services aim to preserve your companion's good health and avoid the need for treatment.
By developing a preventive care strategy based on your cat or dog's specific risk factors and lifestyle, our veterinary team can help maximize their chances for a long, healthy life. We'll work with you to create a personalized wellness plan that addresses their individual needs.

Spaying & Neutering
Spaying or neutering your cat or dog is one of the best preventive measures you can take. Not only does it prevent the birth of unwanted litters, it can also protects your furry family member against various illnesses, and can help to prevent unwanted behaviours.
These common surgical procedures are performed under general anesthesia at our clinic in Omemee.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites can pose a serious threat to the health and longevity of your cat or dog, and in some cases can even be transmitted to other pets or people living in your household.
Our parasite prevention products offer protection for your pet against common pests like fleas, ticks, ear mites, heartworms, and more.
Microchipping
At Omemee Veterinary Hospital, we can place a tiny microchip under your cat or dog's skin as a permanent form of pet identification.
If your pet gets lost, they have a better chance of being reunited with you if they've been microchipped.
