Pet Wellness Care in Ottawa
At Vetter Pet Care, we focus on wellness that lasts — with proactive health plans and genuine care for every dog and cat. Because healthy pets mean happy families, and that’s what matters most.
A Lifetime of Wellness, the Vetter Way
Just like people, pets thrive with regular wellness care. At Vetter Pet Care, we provide preventive services such as physical exams, vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and litters, parasite protection, nutrition guidance, and help choosing the best at-home oral care routine for your pet. We partner with you to create a personalized maintenance plan, emphasizing education and early detection to help your pet live a longer, more comfortable life.
What Happens During a Wellness Visit?
Every visit starts with a full nose-to-tail exam. We can update vaccines, screen for parasites, test for tick-borne diseases, and more. Wellness visits are the perfect opportunity to ask questions so we can tailor care to your pet’s unique needs.
Why Are Wellness Visits So Important?
Because regular checkups allow us to catch small issues before they turn into big ones — helping your pet stay healthier, longer, and saving you stress (and money) down the road.
Who Needs Wellness Visits?
Every dog and cat benefits from regular wellness exams with one of our licensed veterinarians. Pets are masters at hiding signs of illness, so even if your companion is young, seems healthy, or stays indoors, routine checkups are essential. Because they can’t tell us how they feel, we rely on thorough physical exams to detect early signs of disease and keep them feeling their best.
How Often Should My Pet Come In?
It depends on their age, lifestyle, and overall health. Puppies and kittens need more frequent visits to monitor growth and complete their vaccine series. Most adult pets do well with annual exams, while seniors or pets with ongoing medical conditions may benefit from checkups every six months — or even more often. We’ll tailor a wellness schedule that fits your companion’s individual needs.
What Should I Bring to My Pet’s Appointment?
If you have your pet’s medical records, vaccination history, or a list of current medications, please bring or email them ahead of time. A fresh stool sample is always helpful, too — and feel free to bring your pet’s favourite emotional support toy to make the visit extra positive! Don’t worry about treats — we’ve got that covered.
