The proactive approach to veterinary care
Preventive canine care is your dog’s first line of defense in leading a healthy life. Routine doctor exams help prevent, diagnose and treat illness in its early stages, often before any noticeable symptoms begin. The earlier treatment starts, the more effective it is, keeping your pet from unnecessary pain and suffering.
Preemptive Health Strategies for Your Dog
Veterinary Exams: Our comprehensive exams evaluate the heart and lungs, eyes and ears, skin and coat, gastrointestinal and urinary health as well as muscle strength and joint function.
Vaccinations: We tailor vaccination schedules based on a risk assessment to ensure your pet receives only the necessary vaccines, avoiding unnecessary exposure. Vaccine titers are also available and encouraged for those who prefer to avoid immune stimulation.
Dental Care: Maintaining oral health is essential for your pet’s overall well-being. While daily brushing is ideal, routine dental cleanings and evaluations help keep teeth and jaws healthy. We use full dental x-rays and provide local anesthetics and pain management for necessary extractions.
Parasite Control: Puppies often arrive with intestinal parasites, and our local environment and wildlife also pose risks. Regular fecal exams are crucial for monitoring gastrointestinal health and preventing parasite transmission to humans. We also recommend current and safe methods for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
Skin and Coat Care: Regular brushing not only reduces shedding but also stimulates your pet’s nerves and enhances their sense of well-being. For pets with allergies or skin infections, we offer solutions to manage and improve skin and coat health.
Proper Nutrition: We review your pet’s diet and recommend foods and supplements to ensure optimal nutrition and health. Currently the clinic offers certain varieties of Hill’s Prescription diet on site or you can select your pet’s favorite food from our online store which will deliver to your door.
Behavioral Evaluation: We help address behavioral issues that may affect your pet’s happiness. Identifying and meeting your pet’s needs can strengthen your bond and improve not only the quality of their life, but enhance you life as well.
Exercise: All animals need appropriate mental and physical exercise to lead a happy and healthy lifestyle. Let us assist you with ideas and a plan!
