We provide expert guidance on treating active infestations and preventing future outbreaks.

Heartworm disease is a serious, potentially fatal condition transmitted by mosquitoes. At Latimer Animal Hospital, we recommend year-round heartworm prevention for all dogs in Langley. Our preventative medications are safe, effective, and often protect against other parasites too. Annual testing ensures early detection if exposure occurs. Prevention is simple and affordable compared to treating heartworm disease. Our comprehensive pet service helps you keep your pet's heart healthy with a customized prevention plan tailored to Langley's climate.

We carefully assess pain levels and adjust treatment plans as needed. Don't let your pet suffer. We provide compassionate pain relief that improves quality of life significantly.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations protect your pet from serious, often fatal diseases. Latimer Animal Hospital provides core and lifestyle-based vaccines tailored to your pet's risk factors in Langley. Our veterinarians follow current guidelines to avoid over-vaccination while maintaining strong immunity. Puppy and kitten vaccination series establish protection, while boosters maintain it throughout adulthood. We'll create a personalized vaccination schedule that keeps your pet safe and healthy.
Microchip Pet Identification
Permanent identification gives lost pets the best chance of returning home. At Latimer Animal Hospital, we offer microchip implantation, a quick, safe procedure performed during regular visits. Unlike collars and tags, microchips cannot fall off or become unreadable. Shelters and veterinary clinics throughout Langley and beyond scan for microchips routinely. Registration links your contact information to your pet's unique chip number, reuniting families quickly when pets go missing.
