Preventative Care & Vaccinations
Report
We all know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Annual health check exams ("Wellness Visits") are a chance for us to assess your pet's overall health including heart and lung function, mobility and gait, dental health and skin and coat condition.
We will discuss what vaccinations are needed based on your pet's lifestyle and determine the best internal and external parasite prevention products for your pet as well address dietary and behavior concerns.
Annual tick borne disease screening is recommended for all pets and more extensive bloodwork (CBC, Organ Function) may be indicated.
