Available Medical Services

Flea Prevention and Control

Fleas are more than a nuisance—they can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and even transmit tapeworms. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we provide tailored flea control strategies based on your pet’s lifestyle and exposure. Whether you have an indoor cat or an active dog, our team will guide you through preventive measures and treatment options aimed at reducing the risk of infestation in both pets and home environments.

Heartworm Prevention

Heartworm is a serious parasitic disease that can affect the heart and lungs of pets. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we discuss appropriate prevention methods, especially for pets who travel or live in areas where mosquito exposure is more common. We take the time to explain how prevention works and help you choose a plan that fits your pet’s health profile and lifestyle, keeping longterm risks in mind.

Tick Prevention

Ticks can carry organisms that may cause illness in both pets and humans. Lougheed Animal Hospital offers prevention and monitoring options to help reduce the likelihood of tick attachment and the potential for transmission of diseases. Depending on your pet’s activity level, travel habits, and exposure to wooded or grassy areas, we help you choose a method of tick control that suits their everyday life.

Nail Trim

Routine nail trims help prevent overgrowth, splitting, and discomfort in your pet’s paws and joints. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we offer professional nail trims for pets who may be anxious, wiggly, or simply in need of regular maintenance. We understand how each animal reacts differently to handling and take a calm, patient approach to make the experience smoother for both the pet and their owner.

Giant Breeds

Large and giant breed dogs have specific needs when it comes to mobility, diet, and joint health. Lougheed Animal Hospital provides supportive care tailored to the unique physiology and development of giant breeds. Whether it's managing their growth phases or monitoring for orthopedic concerns, we aim to provide guidance that helps support their well-being throughout their life stages, from puppyhood to senior years.

Puppies and Kittens

Early veterinary care plays an important role in laying the foundation for a lifetime of wellness. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we offer complete puppy and kitten care, including exams, initial vaccinations, deworming, nutritional advice, and behavioural guidance. These early visits allow us to monitor development and help new pet parents navigate common questions during the first few months of their companion’s life.

Prescribed Pet Food, Supplements, and Treats

Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all, especially when pets have specific health concerns. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we offer prescription diets, supplements, and treats suited to various needs— from kidney support to weight management. Our team can explain the reasoning behind dietary recommendations and help you make informed choices that align with your pet’s health status and daily routine, without compromising on taste or variety.

Pain Management and Control

Pets experience pain in many forms—post-surgical, age-related, or due to chronic illness. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we assess and monitor pain carefully and develop plans that may include medications, lifestyle adjustments, or therapeutic support. Our goal is to improve your pet’s quality of life by minimizing discomfort and maintaining mobility, while always keeping your pet’s safety and overall health in focus.

Vaccinations

Vaccines help reduce the risk of certain infectious diseases and are tailored based on your pet’s age, species, and exposure risks. Lougheed Animal Hospital follows vaccination schedules that consider both lifestyle and local disease patterns. We take the time to explain which vaccines are recommended and why, so you can make informed decisions while supporting your pet’s longterm health and reducing unnecessary interventions.

Microchip Pet Identification

Microchipping is a simple yet valuable step in helping lost pets return home. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we provide microchip implantation and registration services for both dogs and cats. Unlike collars or tags, a microchip remains with your pet for life and can be scanned by shelters or clinics. We’re here to walk you through the process and help ensure your pet’s information stays up to date.
