Our Gentle & Compassionate Care
Animals age much more rapidly than we do, and significant changes can occur to their health in a short period of time. We strongly believe that regular wellness exams are critical for responding to your pet's changing needs. Our seasoned veterinary team has years of experience handling cats and dogs of varying sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments with gentle care. We strive to keep all animals safe and relaxed as we perform our comprehensive exams and efficient vaccination services.
We will carefully check your pet's ears, eyes, nose, teeth, heart, lungs, and even fecal and blood examinations for added thoroughness. We take diagnostics and treatment plans very seriously, identifying the problem in depth before moving forward and offering effective solutions.
New Puppy and Kitten Exams
If a new kitten or puppy has joined your family, it's important for them to receive an introductory wellness visit and vaccination. Puppies and kittens have developing immune systems, making them more susceptible to various types of infections and diseases. We know how to properly examine and provide safe vaccinations for young pets to help them live a long, healthy life. Some of our puppy and kitten veterinary services you can expect during a wellness visit include:
- Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention: Parasitic infections can inhabit your pet's body and feed off its blood for nutrients. Parasites can introduce harmful diseases to your pet, which often impact their quality of life. Our skilled and seasoned veterinary team can provide treatment for preventing fleas, ticks, and heartworm infections, especially during the summer season.
- Cat & Dog Vaccinations: During the puppy and kitten exam, we will provide them with introductory, core vaccinations to fight against parvovirus and other afflictions. Vaccinations can also help protect your family against transmissible diseases from animal to human and keep your pet updated on all relevant rules and regulations often enforced throughout North America.
Animal Wellness Checks & Vaccinations FAQs
Our veterinarians and friendly staff are always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding animal wellness checks and yearly vaccinations. Some frequently asked questions regarding these procedures include:
We will perform surface-level and internal exams to look for signs of parasitic infection. Signs and symptoms that your pet may be suffering from worms can include bloody diarrhea, vomiting, sudden weight loss, and excessive scooting.
Cat and dog vaccinations have a limited potency lifespan and will eventually lose their effectiveness in about a year's time, leaving your pet vulnerable once again. Many veterinarians recommend periodic booster shots for your pets to help bolster their immune systems and promote health throughout the year.
Routine fecal examinations and tests are effective for finding any traces of parasitic infection in your pet. Many types of infectious worms like to live inside your pet's intestines and can be spotted in feces, whether the worms themselves or traces of eggs. We believe during their first year of life, most puppies and kittens should be tested for worms multiple times as infection is common in baby animals, and they are especially vulnerable. Adult dogs and cats should receive a parasitic exam at least once or twice per year.
