Wellness exams also gives us a baseline for their own unique bodies and tendencies. They allow us to detect potential problems before they become serious, and even make your pet more familiar with our veterinary hospital, making future visits easier on them and you. Preventative health care is essential to ensure that your dog or cat has a full, healthy life.

Our Wellness Care Services Include

Comprehensive Physical Examinations

During a wellness examination, our veterinary team evaluates your pet from nose to tail. We assess their overall condition and look for early signs of illness, changes in body condition, dental concerns, or other potential health problems.

Core and Lifestyle Vaccines

Vaccinations help protect your pet from a variety of preventable infectious diseases. We provide core vaccines and lifestyle-based vaccines, with recommendations tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, environment, and individual risk factors.

Preventative Wellness Blood Work

Routine blood work can provide valuable information about your pet’s overall health and may help identify changes before outward symptoms become apparent. We offer economical preventive blood work panels for young pets and senior pets, helping us monitor important aspects of their health at different stages of life.

Behavior Counseling

Changes in behavior can sometimes be related to medical, environmental, or behavioral factors. Our team can provide guidance for common behavioral concerns and help you better understand your pet’s needs.

Nutrition Counseling

Proper nutrition plays an important role in maintaining your pet’s health. We can provide individualized nutrition recommendations based on your pet’s age, weight, activity level, lifestyle, and specific health needs.

Senior Pet Healthcare and Diagnostics

As pets age, their healthcare needs can change. Regular senior wellness examinations and appropriate diagnostic testing can help us monitor age-related changes and identify potential health concerns earlier.

Parasite Prevention

Parasites can affect your pet’s health and, in some cases, can also pose risks to people and other animals. We provide preventative care for heartworms, fleas, ticks, intestinal parasites, and other internal and external parasites, helping protect your pet throughout the year.
