Wellness Care

Our yearly wellness exams are thorough and involve a half-hour appointment. Starting at age 7, we recommend twice a year physical examinations.

We recommend the first year to consider baseline blood work and urinalysis. The second year we recommend baseline blood pressure, electrocardiogram and chest radiographs. Starting the third year we recommend repeating the program. Each owner is encouraged to choose their own level of preventative care for their pet.

Wellness care for cats and dogs is a crucial part of keeping your furry friends healthy and happy. Regular check-ups can help detect and prevent health problems before they become serious, ensuring a longer and happier life for your pet. Here are some reasons why your cat or dog should come in for wellness care:

Prevention is key: Regular wellness exams can help detect early signs of disease, such as dental problems, obesity, or heart conditions. Early detection and treatment can prevent these issues from becoming more severe and costly.

Vaccinations: Regular vaccinations are a crucial part of wellness care for pets. They help protect against common and deadly diseases such as rabies, distemper, and parvo.

Parasite prevention: Fleas, ticks, and other parasites can cause serious health problems for your pet, as well as for your family. Regular wellness care can ensure that your pet is protected against these pests and the diseases they carry.

Nutrition and diet: A healthy diet is essential for your pet’s overall health and well-being. During wellness exams, your veterinarian can provide guidance on the best nutrition and feeding practices for your pet.

Behavioral issues: Regular wellness exams can also address any behavioral issues your pet may be experiencing, such as anxiety or aggression. Your veterinarian can provide advice and treatment options to help your pet live a happy and stress-free life.

It is recommended that cats and dogs receive wellness exams at least once a year, although more frequent visits may be necessary for senior pets or those with ongoing health issues. By staying on top of your pet’s wellness care, you can help prevent disease and ensure that your furry friend lives a long, healthy, and happy life.
