Frequently Asked Questions, Lougheed Animal Hospital

What types of pets do you care for?
We primarily care for dogs and cats, offering a wide range of veterinary services tailored to their unique needs and life stages.
What should I bring to my pet’s first visit?
Please bring any previous medical records, a list of current medications, and any questions or concerns you may have. Your pet’s comfort item is also welcome!
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We suggest annual wellness exams for healthy pets and more frequent visits for seniors or those with ongoing health concerns to help catch issues early.
Is anaesthesia safe for my pet during surgery or dental work?
We use carefully chosen anaesthetic protocols and continuous patient monitoring to help ensure your pet’s safety and comfort at every step.
Can I stay with my pet during their appointment?
In many cases, yes. We understand the comfort your presence provides and will guide you on what’s best depending on the procedure.
How do I know if my pet needs a dental cleaning?
Signs include bad breath, difficulty eating, or visible tartar buildup. Our dental exams help determine the right time for a cleaning or further care.
