Essential Preventative Pet Care Services
Pet Health Examinations, Vaccinations, Microchipping, Parasite Control and More!
Preventative pet care services are essential for maintaining your pet’s health and longevity. Regular wellness exams, vaccinations, and early diagnostic screenings help detect health issues before they become serious, saving you time and money on costly treatments. Preventative care also includes parasite control, dental health, and nutrition counseling, all of which contribute to a better quality of life for your pet.
By investing in these preventative services at our veterinary clinic, you ensure your furry companion stays happy, active, and healthy throughout their life.
Health and Well-Pet Examinations at Our Veterinary Clinic
Examinations are an opportunity for your veterinarians to assess your pet’s overall health, discuss any changes we see, and educate and update you on advancements in veterinary care.
During our exam we will check your pet’s eyes, ears, teeth and gums, heart, lungs, skin, joints and muscles, abdomen, and lymph nodes. This helps us to detect early signs of illness before they progress.
Vaccinations Provided by Our Experienced Veterinary Team
Just as it is important for you to receive vaccinations it is also important for your pet too. For dogs the core vaccinations include Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, and Parainfluenza. We also provide Lepto, Lyme, Bordetella, and Influenza to those pets who are at higher risk. For cats the core vaccinations include Rabies, and Feline Distemper. For cats that are outdoors, we also provide vaccination against Feline Leukemia.
Healthy Pet Programs
Our Healthy Pet Programs are packages of preventative care services selected based on the pet’s age and medical condition. Healthy Pet Programs provide recommended services at a discounted package rate and allow for the payments to be made on a monthly basis.
Heartworm and Flea Preventatives
Heartworm and flea preventatives are essential to protect your pet from harmful parasites that can cause serious health issues. Heartworms, transmitted by mosquitoes, can lead to potentially fatal heart and lung disease, while fleas cause discomfort, skin irritation, and can transmit other diseases. Using preventatives consistently helps safeguard your pet’s health, reduces the risk of infestations, and prevents costly treatments. Additionally, many preventatives also protect against ticks and intestinal parasites, providing broad-spectrum defense for your furry friend’s well-being.
Regular use of these medications, under veterinary guidance, ensures your pet stays healthy and comfortable year-round.
Nutrition & Weight Management Counseling
Over 50% of our pets’ population is overweight, and this decreases their life expectancy. It is a fundamental part of our exam to counsel you on the proper diet for your pet.
Geriatric Pet Care
Your pets live a shorter life and age quicker than humans. For example, at age 7 they are considered to be a senior. To ensure they are healthy and comfortable they require bloodwork and examinations frequently.
Microchipping
Microchips can play an important role in helping reunite lost pets with their owners. Studies show that dogs with microchips have a return-to-owner rate of over 50%, compared to around 20% for dogs without microchips. For cats, the difference is even more pronounced, with microchipped cats being reunited with their owners nearly 40% of the time versus less than 2% for those without chips. These statistics highlight how valuable microchipping is for improving pet identification and increasing the chances of a happy reunion.
Microchipping provides your pet with lifelong protection
At our veterinary hospital, we have successfully reunited many families thanks to registered microchips. Keeping your pet’s microchip details current is crucial to maximizing its benefits.
Drop Off Services
We offer the convenience of dropping your pet off for services as well.
