WELLNESS CARE

Tailored for All Life Stages

Wellness care is one of the best ways to catch and treat illnesses in their early stages, helping to prolong your pet’s life. The earlier we can make adjustments to your pet’s diet, administer supplements or start medications, the better the chance your pet has of living comfortably. Preventative care is tailored specifically to your pet, and the veterinarian’s recommendations depend upon their lifestyle, specific health needs and particulars of their breed.

Pediatric Wellness

 

We generally start seeing our youngest patients at around 2 months of age and visit with them every 3 to 4 weeks until they’re 4 months old. These visits allow for comprehensive wellness exams, fecal testing, intestinal parasite deworming, and individualized vaccination schedules.

Adult Wellness

Adult pets between 1 and 6 years of age should be seen for wellness visits at least once annually for a comprehensive physical exam, fecal testing, vaccine boosters, heartworm testing, and ongoing flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.

Senior Wellness

Senior pets 7 years and older should be seen twice annually for their regular adult pet care as well as labwork (blood, urine, and blood parasite) to monitor health and check for common age-related illnesses.

Come, sit, heal.

We felt so heard here, and I am so grateful for all the informaton the staff gave to us. As a first time dog parent, I always have questions. Thanks for listening and taking great care of our big guy!
