Wellness and Preventative Care
An ounce of prevention truly is worth a pound of cure—especially when it comes to your pet’s health. Preventive care is a proactive investment in your pet’s lifelong health. With annual examinations, vaccinations, and screening tests, we build and strengthen your pet’s health and immunity while they are well. Instead of addressing problems as they arise, preventive care strives to ensure they’re never a problem in the first place. And if illness or injury does occur, regular wellness visits are the best way to ensure they’ll be detected in their earliest stages—when treatment is less invasive, more affordable, and results in a better outcome.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a simple and permanent way to ensure your pet will be returned to you if they go missing. Microchip implantation does not require anesthesia, is well-tolerated by pets, and can be performed at any outpatient appointment. We’ll help you understand how to register your pet’s chip to ensure full protection.
Physical Exams
Your pet’s nose-to-tail assessment evaluates all their major health systems, including their eyes, ears, nose, teeth, joints and mobility, heart and lungs, abdomen, and urogenital system, to detect any abnormalities or pain.
Puppy & Kitten Visits
Early life visits are the foundation for pet health and include vaccines, deworming, parasite prevention, assessment for congenital disorders, nutritional advice, and training tips to ensure your new pet starts off on the right paw.
Vaccinations
Vaccines immunize your pet against harmful infectious diseases including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline panleukopenia, and respiratory viruses. Additional lifestyle-based vaccines such as bordetella (i.e., kennel cough), leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and canine influenza are also available on an as-needed basis.
Parasite Screening & Prevention
Microscopic stool analysis looks for intestinal parasite eggs or worms, some of which can be transmitted to humans. A simple blood test is used to screen for heartworms and tick-borne diseases.
We recommend year-round heartworm, flea, and tick prevention for dogs and cats. Our team can provide personalized product recommendations to ensure your pet is protected against these disease-transmitting pests.
Nutritional & Behavioral Counseling
Your pet’s weight and nutrition directly impact their overall health and longevity. We’ll provide customized recommendations for every life stage and health condition—including obesity.
Our team can provide training tips for common problems (e.g., potty training, jumping, and barking) and medical intervention for more complex conditions (e.g., separation anxiety, house soiling, noise aversion). We can also provide tips, tricks, and coaching for routine care tasks such as tooth brushing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, medicating, and basic grooming.
