Pet Vaccinations & Preventive Care
Promoting Long-Term Health For Dogs & Cats
At Breadner Veterinary Services, we focus on preventive care to keep common diseases and disorders from impacting your furry friend's health.
Our Saanichton veterinary team will assess your companion's risk factors and lifestyle, then create a custom preventive care plan with you to meet your pet's unique needs. Preventive care gives your dog or cat their best chance at a long, healthy life.
When combined with annual wellness exams and parasite prevention, regularly scheduled vaccinations are vital to annual preventive care. These services are designed to preserve your cat or dog's good health, and avoid the need for treatment.

Spaying & Neutering
Spaying or neutering your cat or dog protects your pet against various illnesses, prevents the birth of unwanted litters, and can help to prevent unwanted behaviours.
These common surgical procedures are performed under general anesthesia at our Saanichton animal clinic.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites can pose a serious threat to the health and longevity of your four-legged friend, and in some cases can even be transmitted to other pets or people living in your household.
Our parasite prevention products can help protect your dog or cat from common parasites including fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites.
Microchipping
We can place a tiny microchip under your dog or cat's skin as a permanent form of identification.
Pets that are microchipped are more likely to be reunited with their family if they ever get lost.
