Regular wellness exams allow the veterinarian to evaluate your pet's overall health. During these visits, we check things like weight, heart and lung function, skin and coat health, teeth and gums, and mobility. These exams also give us a chance to discuss nutrition, behavior, and any changes you've noticed at home. Detecting concerns early often leads to better outcomes.

Vaccinations help protect pets from common and potentially serious diseases. For dogs, this can include vaccines for rabies, distemper, and other core illnesses. For cats, vaccines may include rabies and feline leukemia, depending on lifestyle and risk. Our team helps tailor vaccine recommendations to your pet's age, lifestyle, and exposure risk.

Vaccines We Don't Routinely Carry:

• Canine Influenza: Not recommended in our practice due to its low prevalence in our area.
• Lyme Vaccine: We do not offer this vaccine due to its variable efficacy, short duration of immunity, higher rate of adverse reactions, and ongoing controversy regarding its use.

Preventing parasites is a key part of routine care. We help protect pets from:

• Heartworms
• Fleas and ticks
• Intestinal parasites

Testing and preventative medications help reduce the risk of infections that can affect your pet's health and comfort.

Routine Screening Tests

Routine screening tests help monitor your pet’s health and detect problems early, often before symptoms appear.

Common tests include:

• Heartworm testing (dogs)
  
• Fecal testing for intestinal parasites
  
• Bloodwork to evaluate organ function and overall health
  

Laboratory services:

• In-house testing: CBC, chemistry, and urinalysis for timely results
  
• Reference lab: Fecal samples and non-urgent bloodwork are sent to IDEXX for additional evaluation
