Preventive care for dogs and cats

Pets are good at hiding discomfort. A regular checkup is how we catch small changes before they turn into big, expensive problems.

What a yearly visit covers

  • A nose-to-tail exam: skin, eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, and joints
  • Vaccines chosen for your pet's age, health, and lifestyle
  • Heartworm testing, followed by year-round prevention
  • Fecal testing for intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, giardia, and coccidia
  • A quick look at the mouth, plus a conversation about diet, behavior, and anything you've noticed

How often to come in

Healthy adult pets do well with a yearly exam. Puppies and kittens come more often while they finish their vaccine series. Senior pets usually benefit from a visit every six months, because their health can change quickly.

Extras that make visits easier

  • Laser therapy alongside conventional care, at all four hospitals
  • Nail trims, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression
  • Coaching on giving medication, trimming nails, and brushing teeth at home
  • An in-house pharmacy for common prescriptions, heartworm, flea, and tick preventives, and prescription diets

Common questions

Does a healthy-looking pet really need a yearly exam?

Yes. Animals instinctively mask pain and weakness, so a pet that seems fine can still have early disease. A yearly exam catches changes while treatment is simpler.

My pet takes heartworm prevention. Why test too?

Prevention only works if every dose is given on time. A yearly test confirms your pet is protected, and it's a safeguard if a dose was missed.

Can I pick up medication at my appointment?

Yes. Our pharmacy can fill common prescriptions during your visit, so you can start treatment right away.
