Pet Safety

As loving pet owners, we are always trying to keep our furry companions happy and healthy. But unfortunately, sometimes despite the best of intentions, accidents that result in injuries to our beloved pets can happen. At RainTree Veterinary Hospital, we believe that being proactive and educating our clients about some of the more common risks and how to safeguard against them is the best line of defence. We also strive to teach our clients how to best prepare for when these accidents do happen to occur so that the impact of the event can be minimized and our patients are provided with the best possible chances for a quick and speedy recovery.
