Wellness Care

Preventive veterinary care is the cornerstone of keeping your pet their healthiest so that you and your pet can have more great years together. Since pets age more quickly than people do, it is critical to have regular physical examinations done to assess your pet’s health. From kittens and puppies to geriatric pets, our medical expertise and care can ensure your pet’s optimal health and lifespan. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your pet’s health.

During routine preventive exams, your veterinarian will assess:

• Overall Body Condition
• Eyes
• Ears
• Nose
• Mouth
• Throat
• Heart and Lungs
• Abdominal Organs
• Musculoskeletal System
• Neurologic System
• Urogenital System
• Lymph Nodes
• Skin/Coat

If your pet appears to be healthy enough for routine preventive care, we will discuss which vaccines are recommended for your pet based on their lifestyle, as well as parasite prevention including heartworm disease, intestinal parasites, and fleas/ticks. Annual age-appropriate lab tests, testing for heartworm and/or tick-borne diseases, and fecal tests for parasites may also be recommended for your pet. Finally, your pet’s nutrition, diet, and exercise routines can be assessed and optimized to help your pet be in the best physical condition for their lifestyle and age.

In the event health problems are identified we will provide you a treatment plan to include the diagnostics and treatments we recommend along with the associated costs.

Remember, keeping up with preventive care for your pet is the best way to keep your pet happy and healthy for life.
