Rockwood Veterinary Clinic

Rockwood Veterinary Clinic Our mission is to excel as an animal care provider, as an employer, and as a veterinary clinic in the community; providing total customer satisfaction!

Welcome to Rockwood Veterinary Clinic! Here at Rockwood Veterinary Clinic we want to communicate with pet owners as part of a team with the pets care and well being as our primary goal. Owners need to be able to describe what they see at home, behaviours, and “symptoms” in order to help our veterinarians better understand your pet’s needs and medical condition. As veterinarians we need to listen c

arefully and use the client’s observations and our knowledge to provide the necessary care. Trust is very important in this relationship. We want our clients to be comfortable with the recommendations that we make. Clients need to understand their options for care, diagnostics and treatment, and then make an informed decision on how they wish to proceed. As veterinarians we also develop relationships with the pets. Each animal is unique and interesting, some may not enjoy the visits to the clinic but with help they may become more confident. Trust is an integral part of the relationship between the vet and the animal. Sometimes freely given and sometimes earned, this trust is so important to allow us to examine the animal, correctly interpret the animal’s reactions and perform the necessary diagnostics and treatments.

The most common acquired heart disease in cats is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and it affects roughly 15% of the feline population. This is an important reminder that heart health should always be checked and why yearly visits are so crucial. As your pet gets older, we might recommend visits every 6 months to ensure optimal health. Has your pet been seen by us recently? If not, call us at 519-856-9002 to schedule an appointment!

Introducing your dog to brushing their teeth begins with leaving their dental care items out for a day to familiarize your pet with them. Your pup can investigate the items and become more comfortable with them. You can even use treats to help your dog form a positive association with teeth brushing essentials.

Small daily activities you can incorporate into your pet's routine are taking your dog for regular walks, playing fetch, or engaging in interactive play sessions with toys. Cats enjoy scratching posts, puzzle toys, or even a window perch to observe the outside world. These activities help maintain a healthy weight, prevent boredom, reduce stress, and enhance their overall quality of life. Contact us at 519-856-9002 for more info on how to care for your pet and to schedule an appointment with us today!

Puppy socialization is one of the essential ingredients for a happy, well-behaved, and confident dog. Missing out on socialization during puppyhood can contribute to behaviour issues like leash reactivity and fear-based aggression. A week after your puppy has had their first round of vaccines, it's a good time to start doing puppy-safe socialization activities. You should never bring your puppy to a dog park or other area where groups of dogs frequently gather until your pup has received all of their vaccinations in their initial puppy series (around 17 weeks old). Is it time to get your pet vaccinated? Schedule a vaccination appointment with us today at 519-856-9002.

People aren’t the only ones that need routine checkups to make sure everything is fine with their health - your doggies do as well! When they are a pup, every few months is recommended for examination. After they are a year old, 1 to 2 times a year is ideal if they are healthy. We love your dogs as much as you do and want to keep them as healthy as possible! Contact us at 519-856-9002 to schedule an appointment!
