Caring for a dog or cat is simple when you focus on two big ideas: stop avoidable problems before they start and feed the right food every single day. Glen Mountain Animal Hospital helps local families do both. Its friendly team runs the Spay And Neuter Clinic Abbotsford, which offers safe, quick surgery that keeps unwanted litters from ever appearing. The same clinic also protects pets from future illness, because females that are spayed early almost never face painful uterine infections or breast tumours, and males that are neutered avoid testicular cancer while feeling less drive to roam busy streets. The staff use warm blankets, gentle gas anaesthesia, and modern monitors so most patients go home the very same evening. Clear, short take-home notes explain how to keep the incision clean and when pain medicine is due, so there is no guessing after you walk out the door.
Once hormones settle, your animal’s body burns food more slowly, and extra calories can turn into silent weight gain. That is where the guidance from Pet Nutrition Abbotsford becomes priceless. Instead of handing you a random bag of food, trained technicians and veterinarians look at age, breed size, daily exercise, and any troubles like itchy skin or weak joints. They then choose balanced diets that match protein, fat, and fibre to your pet’s exact needs. They even measure every cup so feeding feels like following a simple recipe, not a science lesson. Regular weigh-ins are free and quick, and slight changes are fixed with small tweaks long before obesity or diabetes has a chance to appear.
Good food works hand in hand with early surgery. A slim body heals from a spay or neuter much faster, and the steady energy that comes from proper nutrition means your pet can enjoy games, hikes, and cuddles without tiring out. Glen Mountain often books a nutrition chat for the same day as the surgical check-up, saving you an extra trip and making sure diet questions are answered while the experience is still fresh in your mind.
The hospital team also shares knowledge beyond the exam room. They visit local schools to show children why spaying, neutering, and smart feeding protect wildlife and stop shelters from overflowing. Unused but still safe prescription foods are donated to rescue groups, and staff hold weekend question-and-answer tables at the farmers’ market so anyone can bring a food label and get instant, honest advice.
If your puppy is nearing five months, your kitten just started calling at night, or your adult rescue still eats whatever was cheapest on the shelf, the right moment to act is now.
