Your pet’s visit starts before they reach the exam room. Our front-desk team helps with scheduling, check-in, questions, and keeping each visit moving from hello to heading home.

Sometimes a friendly welcome includes a well-timed treat, too.

Planning a wellness visit or have a question about your pet’s care? Call or text Crescenta Canada Pet Hospital and our team will help with the next step.

Vaccination visits are about more than checking a box. The right recommendations depend on a pet’s age, health, lifestyle, travel, and exposure risks.

Our veterinary team can help you understand which vaccines are appropriate and when boosters may be due. If you are unsure whether your pet is current, contact CCPH and we can help review the next step.

Do you keep your pet’s vaccine records somewhere easy to find?

A physical exam can tell us a lot, even when a pet seems perfectly comfortable at home. Here, Dr. Briski listens closely during a canine exam.

Checking the heart and lungs is one part of understanding a pet’s overall health and establishing a helpful baseline for future visits. If you notice coughing, unusual breathing, lower energy, or another unexplained change, contact your veterinarian.

What questions do you like to bring to your pet’s wellness visits?

A wagging tail can mean “I’m thrilled to see you,” but it can also signal anxiety, irritation, fear, or aggression.

The tail is only one part of the conversation. Look at your dog’s whole body: posture, facial expression, ears, movement, and the situation around them all add important context.

What is your dog’s most recognizable tail wag?

Your cat may have trained you better than you think. 🐱

Adult cats often use meows to communicate with people, while communication with other cats also involves body language, physical contact, scent marking, and other vocalizations.

Every cat has their own style. Some are quiet conversationalists; others provide a running commentary on the entire household.

Has your cat developed a special meow that you instantly understand? Tell us what it means.

A sudden change in how often or how loudly your cat vocalizes can sometimes signal discomfort or another concern. Contact your veterinarian if you notice an unexplained change.

Ears can be easy to overlook until your dog starts shaking their head, scratching, or reacting when an ear is touched.

During an ear exam, our veterinary team looks for redness, discharge, odor, debris, and other clues that may need attention. Ear discomfort can have several causes, so home treatment is not one-size-fits-all.

Noticing a change in your dog’s ears? Call or text CCPH so we can help determine the appropriate next step.

Has your dog ever given you the “please don’t touch my ears” look?
