Like with us people, maintaining a healthy body weight is one of the best ways to keep your pet healthy throughout their life. Because of the countless breeds and types of pets out there, it can be difficult to determine the exact weight or body measurements ideal for your pet. That being said, our veterinarians and RVTs are here to help you make the best nutritional decisions for your pet. During a full-body exam, we can make recommendations for health screening tests to rule out a medical issue that may be associated with your pet's weight gain or weight loss. Please call us at 226-894-3253 to learn more about how we can help manage your pet's weight.
At Simcoe Animal Hospital, we provide heartworm testing for your canine companion. Heartworm is a fatal condition caused by parasitic worms that invade a dog's heart and surrounding blood vessels. Cats can also contract heartworm, but it mainly affects their lungs and heart. Heartworm, as well as other types of internal and external parasites, can make your pet (and in some cases, your family) incredibly sick. With our preventative medicine and comprehensive tests, we can boost your pet's immunity and ensure if they do have heartworm, they are treated right away. If you suspect your pet has heartworm, please contact our team immediately at 226-894-3253.

You are welcome to call us to learn more about how you can say goodbye to your beloved pet.

As your pet becomes older and enters their senior years, arthritis is one of the many health conditions they may develop. Like with us humans, arthritis in dogs, cats and other pets is a condition that causes inflammation and degeneration of joint cartilage and bones. With proper treatment, we can ensure your pet's arthritis is managed well and they are as comfortable as possible. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any further questions about pets and arthritis.
