Skip to content When your dog or cat is dealing with a health condition that requires ongoing attention, Lougheed Animal Hospital provides the veterinary medical services to support them at every stage. Our team in Mission, BC, works with you to build a management plan that fits your pet’s needs and your daily routine. We combine thorough clinical assessment with clear communication, so you understand what is happening and what steps we are taking together. We have been caring for pets in Mission and the Fraser Valley since 2004 and are accepting new clients. Call (604) 826-7066 to schedule a medical consultation.
Skin and ear problems are among the most common reasons dogs and cats visit the veterinarian. Allergies, infections, and parasites can all cause persistent itching, hair loss, redness, discharge, and discomfort. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we perform a thorough assessment of your pet’s skin, coat, and ears to identify the underlying cause, not just the surface symptoms. We use tools including skin scrapings, ear cytology, fungal cultures, and snap testing to narrow down the source of the problem. Our goal is to develop a management plan that reduces discomfort and helps your pet’s skin and ear health stabilize. Seasonal allergies, food sensitivities, and external parasites each require a different approach, and we tailor our recommendations to your pet’s situation. Ask us about environmental triggers and at-home management between visits.
Managing pain effectively is central to your pet’s quality of life, whether the discomfort stems from arthritis, post-surgical recovery, injury, or a chronic condition. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we evaluate pain carefully using recognized veterinary assessment protocols and develop individualized management plans. These plans may include veterinary products, physical activity adjustments, weight management support, and follow-up monitoring to evaluate how your pet is responding. We recognize that pain in pets varies considerably by species, breed, age, and underlying condition, and we do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team will discuss your options clearly so you can make informed decisions alongside us.
Heart conditions in dogs and cats are often detected during routine wellness exams when our veterinarians listen for murmurs or irregular rhythms. A murmur does not always indicate an immediate problem, but it does warrant monitoring and, in some cases, further assessment. Lougheed Animal Hospital offers cardiology services including echocardiography performed by a visiting specialist on-site, so your pet does not need to travel. If your pet has been given a cardiac assessment or is showing signs such as persistent coughing, labored breathing, reduced energy, or fainting, book a cardiac evaluation with us. Early awareness allows for better long-term management and a better quality of life.
Some pets require a period of in-hospital care for close monitoring, recovery following a procedure, or management of an acute health event. Lougheed Animal Hospital provides hospitalization services for patients who need observation beyond a standard appointment. During a stay, your pet’s vital signs, fluid status, and comfort are monitored by our veterinary team. We provide updates to you and discuss discharge criteria and home care instructions before your pet returns home. If your pet requires a level of care beyond our in-hospital services, we will coordinate a referral to an appropriate specialist or emergency facility in the Vancouver area.
Internal medicine encompasses conditions affecting your pet’s organs and body systems, including the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, kidneys, liver, and immune system. At Lougheed Animal Hospital, we evaluate internal medicine cases using a combination of physical assessment, bloodwork, urinalysis, imaging, and biopsy when indicated. Conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and Addison’s or Cushing’s disease all require careful, ongoing management. Our team will walk you through the findings and create a realistic, sustainable care plan. When specialist-level investigation or management is needed, we coordinate referrals on your behalf.
Your pet’s medical health deserves thoughtful, experienced care. Call Lougheed Animal Hospital at (604) 826-7066 or book online to schedule a medical consultation for your dog or cat in Mission, BC.
