Island Animal Hospital and Urgent Care Services

We recommend a physical wellness exam at least once per year for adult pets and every six months for senior pets to ensure they have as many happy healthy years with you as possible.

If you’ve recently adopted or purchased a pet then we advise you that you book an appointment for their first examination within the first few weeks of ownership. Younger animals are very vulnerable to illness and this will allow us to make sure they have the vaccinations they need reassure you of their health and give us a starting point for their medical records.
