Preventative care is your pet’s first line of defense. Annual exams help by preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease in its early stages, often before any noticeable symptoms begin. The earlier treatment starts, the more effective it is, keeping your pet from unnecessary pain and suffering.

- Vaccinations with boosters are especially important for young puppies and kittens as they do not have full immunity from many serious infectious diseases. For example, the parvo virus in dogs and panleukopenia in cats are both deadly gastrointestinal diseases. It’s critical to ensure your puppy or kitten has completed the entire series of combo vaccinations to keep him or her protected.
- A wellness visit is important because this exam helps us detect possible health problems early. Common, treatable problems can be found before they are noticed by their owners.
- Spaying or neutering your pet has health benefits, in addition to helping with pet overpopulation. Spaying your puppy or kitten offers the best protection from uterine infections and breast tumors. Neutering your male pet helps prevent testicular cancer and certain prostate problems.
- A microchip provides secure, reliable, and permanent identification, which greatly increases the likelihood that your pet, if lost, will be returned to you.
- Fleas, ticks, and heartworm-carrying mosquitoes are out in full force all year long. We can help you choose the best parasite preventions for your new pet.
Annual Veterinary Exams
Vaccinations
Keeping your pets up to date on immunizations and booster shots is a highly effective way to prevent many common diseases and infections like distemper, parvo and rabies in dogs and disease like, feline panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and rabies in cats. Beyond those core vaccines, your pet’s age, lifestyle, and likely exposure to certain diseases will be evaluated before we recommend additional inoculations.
Parasite Control
Prevention and eradication are simple and efficient processes when anti-parasitic medication is used regularly. We can help you select the best option for your pet.
Request an AppointmentNutrition
Proper nutrition supports your pet’s bodily processes, bolstering their immune system and ensuring normal development. The amount of food you offer your pet makes a difference, too. We can help you with a nutrition plan that keeps your pet healthy and happy.
Behavioral Evaluation
Behavior issues are something most pet owners face at one time or another, and sadly, they can be so frustrating they break the bond between pet and person. Changes in mood or behavior are often symptoms of underlying medical conditions. We can help you identify these shifts and help to isolate and treat the root cause.
Request an AppointmentSenior Animals
We recommend exams with regular lab work at least once a year for our senior companions. Pets age more rapidly than humans, which means diseases and illnesses progress more quickly as well. The good news is dogs and cats are living longer today thanks to advances in veterinary medicine. While older pets are faced with more age-related conditions that impact the quality of their lives, we are here to partner with you to help your pet age well.
