Building a Healthier Future with Preventive Care

Preventive care means more than just yearly checkups — it’s about protecting your pet from preventable diseases, detecting health concerns early, and giving them the best chance at a long, comfortable life. Our veterinary team takes time to get to know each pet’s unique needs, ensuring that care plans are personalized and practical.

Wellness Exams

A comprehensive wellness exam allows us to assess your pet’s overall health and detect problems early, when they are most treatable. During the exam, we check the ears, eyes, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, muscles, and teeth. Based on your pet’s age and lifestyle, we may recommend additional services, such as spaying or neutering, bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal exams, dental care, or heartworm testing.

Regular wellness visits provide a comprehensive picture of your pet’s health, enabling you to make informed decisions about their care.

Vaccinations

Vaccines are a vital part of preventive care, protecting pets from dangerous and highly contagious diseases. Our veterinarians provide tailored vaccination plans based on your dog’s or cat’s lifestyle and risk factors, so your pet only receives what’s necessary to stay safe.

  • Parvovirus – Prevents a highly contagious and sometimes fatal gastrointestinal virus.

  • Rabies – Safeguards against a fatal viral disease affecting the nervous system, transmissible to humans.
  • Bordetella (Kennel Cough) – Reduces risk of a highly contagious respiratory infection.

Feline Vaccines

  • FVRCP – Protects against rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia, which cause respiratory and gastrointestinal illness.
  • Feline Leukemia – Helps protect cats from a virus that weakens the immune system and increases cancer risk.
  • Rabies – Protects against this fatal and zoonotic disease.

Our team will discuss which vaccines are best for your pet and how often they should be administered.

Nutritional Counseling

A healthy diet is the cornerstone of good health. With so many pet food brands and formulas available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. Our veterinarians provide personalized nutritional counseling to help you select the best diet for your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health conditions.

We can also recommend prescription diets for pets with allergies, organ disease, or metabolic concerns. For overweight pets, we design safe weight management plans to reduce the risk of diabetes, joint problems, and other health issues.
