Vancouver Animal Hospital: Healthy Pets

At Alta Vista Animal Hospital, our Vancouver veterinary clinic we are committed to pets' health and well-being.  That is why we want to share our veterinary knowledge with the wide community of pet lovers with the opening of a series of blog posts "Healthy Pets". 

If you are a responsible pet owner who is willing to devote time and energy to keeping your pet healthy and content, keep visiting our blog to learn more about nutrition, grooming, and training of your beloved pet.  In our posts we will describe signs of a healthy pet.  Our goal is also to teach you how to recognize first signs of animal diseases. 

Although cats, dogs and other animals cannot come right out and announce how they feel, the pet owner can always tell something is not quite right by observing changes in pet's behavior or it's appearance.  From our posts you will learn what steps to take when something goes wrong with your pet,  in what situations you can perform first-aid procedures at home and when it is better  to see a veterinarian right away.
