Keeping Pets Healthy. Educating People
At Westmount Animal Clinic, we believe pet ownership can have great benefits to both people and pets. Our goal is to make our wellness programs as well as medical and surgical healthcare available to everyone in our community!
Spring is upon us and the
parasites are in full force after a very mild winter. Mosquitoes,
lice, fleas, ticks, roundworms, tapeworms, mites....... are much more than just
a nuisance!
Internal
and external parasites are a
significant cause of disease and discomfort in animals & can pose a
serious threat to the health of people. As pet owners there is much we can do to
protect our pets, our home, and our families and keep those tiny critters at
bay.
So, eat up the information on
parasites, worm your way to
Companion Animal Parasite Council
website, and crawl into our
clinic for further assistance. Keep your pets healthy this parasite season, and
the only thing they'll be itching for will be a few treats and a nice belly rub!

The field of veterinary medicine has evolved significantly over the last few decades and has been exposed to many of the same technological advances used in the field of human medicine. Two such relatively new technologies are Laser Surgery & Laser Therapy! At Westmount we have been offering these progressive new options to our clients since 2005 with tremendous results. Laser surgery is our primary surgical method for safe and comfortable treatment while laser therapy provides a safe, non-invasive and effective treatment to increase mobility, wound healing and post surgery rehab.

Each month we focus our attention on pet health issues for client education, staff re-education and to improve service and knowledge in specific areas. We believe we can improve awareness and care in these areas throughout the year as well as empower clients to help their pets!

Arthritis Awareness, Prevention &Treatments
Though there is no cure
for this debilitating disease, there is much we can do to manage the condition
and control the pain through
medical treatments,
laser therapy,
specific diets and
exercise.
: By the age of three, some 80 % of all
dogs & 70 % of all cats show signs of
dental
disease, which can lead to
the more serious problems of heart, lung, and kidney disease.
Periodontal
disease can be prevented and treated!
Proper nutrition is central to
sound oral health. Along with good nutrition, an annual dental
prophylaxis included in your pet's regular health care program will help
maintain your pet's overall health, improve their quality of life &
potentially add years to his/her life!
Parasite
Control is an
essential part of preventative pet health care program.
Internal
and external parasites are a significant cause of
disease and discomfort in animals & can pose a serious threat to
the health of people. We encourage regular fecal testing and
parasite control/prevention in accordance with the recommendations of
the
Companion Animal Parasite Council
:
Diet is the foundation of health - nothing can replace a healthy
diet when it comes to promoting health and warding off both acute and
chronic disease.
Proper nutrition is essential at all stages of
your pet’s life. Nutritional imbalances can lead to a variety of
physical and behavioral problems. While feeding a wholesome
nutritious pet food makes an enormous impact on the health of your pets
,adding daily
supplements to their diet based on the individual dietary
requirements insures your pets have everything they need to ward
off immune stressors and disease!
