Congratulations on your new family member! ​Whether this is your first pet, or you're an experienced pet owner, we at Nelson Animal Hospital are here to support you in this new chapter! 

Diet

Choosing a pet food for your furry friend can be overwhelming in the current market. We recommend reviewing these guidelines by the WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) before selecting a diet for your pet. 

Dental Care

Similar to pet food, there are a lot of dental products out in the world today! We recommend keeping an eye out for the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Committee) seal of approval on any dental product for your pet. 

"The VOHC Council consists of nine members, veterinary dentists, dental scientists with experience in scientific protocol and study design, and a non-voting director."

Training & Behaviour

Looking to start your puppy or kitten off on the right paw? Here are some of our favourite resources and local trainers!

Pet Insurance

Unfortunately accidents and illness happen, but pet insurance can be
​there to help during these stressful events. 

Pet Proofing Your Home

It can be difficult to know what is safe for pets, and what could be harmful! When in doubt, we encourage you to check ASPCA list:
