Wellness Exams and Vaccinations

We know that Wellness and Preventative care is important to the overall health of your pet. That's why we focus on routine exams and vaccinations tailored to the individual to keep your pet healthy and protected so they live longer, healthier and happier lives. One of the best things you can do for your pet is to keep him or her healthy. And one of the easiest and least expensive ways to do that is by bringing in your pet for regular exams and vaccinations. Dogs and cats (and other pets) age far faster than people, so significant changes in your pet’s health can happen in a short time. Wellness exams allow us to diagnose diseases and conditions early, when they’re easier to treat or manage. We recommend that healthy adult dogs and cats visit us once a year. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with health issues or illnesses need more frequent checkups. We’ll work with you to create an individualized wellness exam, including a vaccination and prevention protocol customized specifically to your pet. Call us today to schedule your pet’s wellness exam.

Adult Pet Wellness

By

Bringing in your pet for an annual diagnostic wellness check-up can help reassure you that your dog or cat is healthy and help us detect hidden diseases of conditions early.

Dogs and cats age far quicker than humans, so it is even more crucial for our companion animals to receive regular exams. In addition, the risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age.

During your pet’s wellness exam, we will perform a physical assessment, checking your dog or cat from nose to tail.

Because you spend the most time with your pet, you are your pet’s expert, and their greatest advocate.

Call us today to schedule your pet’s exam! If you have any questions, we would be happy to discuss our adult wellness services in more detail.

Senior Pet Wellness

By

As dogs and cats get older, they need more attention and special care. Our senior wellness services can help your pet remain fit and healthy as he or she ages. Regular veterinary exams can help your pet live longer, too!

Diagnosing diseases and certain conditions early is important throughout a pet’s life, but it becomes more critical when your dog or cat enters their senior years. The risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age. In addition, dogs and cats may not show any signs of even serious diseases until they are quite advanced.

Senior status varies depending on your pet’s breed and size. Smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs, and cats generally live longer than dogs. We can help you determine what life stage your pet is in.

Before your dog or cat reaches senior status, we recommend that you bring your pet in for a baseline exam and diagnostic workup. This will give us a record of what’s normal for your pet so we can keep track of any changes. In most cases, we suggest this checkup for when your dog turns 7 years of age or your cat turns 8 years of age. Thereafter, your senior pet will benefit from more frequent veterinary exams and diagnostic testing.

We can treat many symptoms that are commonly attributed to age, including those associated with cognitive dysfunction syndrome (similar to Alzheimer’s in humans). We can also improve your pet’s quality of life in many ways: by identifying and preventing or reducing pain, recommending an appropriate nutrition and exercise plan, and suggesting environmental modifications to keep your pet comfortable.

We will tailor our senior wellness services to your pet’s individual needs. If you have any questions, we would be happy to discuss our senior wellness services in more detail.
