Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a vet visit cost in Nanaimo?
A routine wellness exam costs $60-$100. Vaccinations are $25-$50 each. Spay/neuter surgery ranges from $200-$500. Emergency visits start at $150-$300 just for the exam, with treatment costs on top.
How often should I take my pet to the vet?
Healthy adult pets should go annually. Puppies and kittens need visits every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old for vaccinations. Senior pets (7+) benefit from twice-yearly checkups to catch age-related issues early.
Does pet insurance cover vet visits?
Most pet insurance covers accidents and illness but not routine wellness exams. Some plans offer wellness add-ons. Pet insurance typically costs $30-$70/month for dogs and $20-$40/month for cats. It's most cost-effective when purchased young.
What should I do in a pet emergency?
Call your vet first — many have after-hours instructions. If your vet is closed, go to the nearest 24/7 emergency animal hospital. Keep the Pet Poison Helpline number saved: 1-855-764-7661. Don't wait if your pet is struggling to breathe, bleeding heavily, or had a seizure.
Can I switch vets easily?
Yes. You can request your pet's medical records be transferred to a new vet. Most clinics will send records within a few days. There's no obligation to stay with a vet — finding the right fit for you and your pet matters.
