In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.

Spay and Neuter
Spaying and neutering are important and necessary medical procedures that enhance the quality of your pets' life. Not only does spaying and neutering have positive effects on your pets' health, it's also vital to controlling the homeless pet population.
Microchipping and Tattoos
At Stony Plain Vet Clinic, we are happy to offer microchipping and tattoos. Every year, thousands and thousands of pets go missing. Not knowing where your pet is or how to bring them back can be a helpless, hopeless feeling. It’s a tragedy that happens all too often.
But there is a simple, safe, and effective way to ensure your pet's safety and retrieval should he or she ever become lost. Microchipping is a standard procedure that implants a tiny chip underneath your pet's fur. It is a painless and relatively fast procedure and is completely safe.

Obesity is a common problem among pets, as it can be easy to overfeed a cute dog or cat that knows how to beg. Being overweight is a serious problem for animals, and can cause real health problems.

Pets that are in pain are miserable. For this reason, we will do whatever we can to keep your pets comfortable.

We also prescribe steroids which can offer a lot of relief. We also have stronger pain medications if the non-steroidal medications are not enough. We also offer glucosamine in tablets and injections to help with arthritis.

Caring for exotic animals can be very different from other pets, so it's important for pet owners to be educated on the needs of their pets. Nutrition and a proper habitat are major components of properly caring for most exotic pets.
If you have any questions or concerns about your exotic pets' health, please don't hesitate to contact us today.
Echocardiography
Echocardiography is a non-invasive procedure that evaluates the structure and function of the heart in real time. This is a highly specified diagnostic tool that helps veterinarians determine the extent and/or type of heart disease the patient has. We gather these images in clinic and send them through telemedicine for a full assessment by a cardiologist. SPVC is proud to be one of the few clinics in Alberta to offer this service.
Rehabilitation
Rehab can be utilized for a variety of cases including prevention and management of arthritis, pain control post and pre surgical, non-surgical injuries, ensuring strength and mobility in the athlete patient and neurological rehabilitation (i.e. vestibular or IVDD patients). Our registered physical therapist Miranda Shumborski works along side our veterinarians to provide the best possible care for those difficult orthopedic/neurological cases.
