We provide a full range of services, more than can be described in a few sentences or bullet points. When you bring your pet to us, we realize that you are putting your full trust in our methods. Here are more detailed descriptions for those who like to dig deeply. Regular physical exams play an important role in health maintenance, prevention, and early recognition of potential larger problems.
Since our pets cannot talk to us, they are often unable to communicate an issue before it becomes a major concern and possible threat to their well being. Also, our animal companions have a shorter lifespan than we do, so their health can change significantly, relatively quickly. For these reasons, we recommend regular wellness exams; yearly for young, healthy pets; biannually for our senior patients.
During a wellness exam, you can expect an animal technician to determine your pet's weight and temperature, and collect specimens for any routine yearly testing. Dr Johnson will then obtain a thorough history from you regarding your pet's habits and any important observations you have made since your pet's last visit.

Welcome, New Clients
Report
If you are a new client, we will do our best to earn your continued trust.
Like most care facilities, we have a New Client Form for you to fill out to provide some essential details.
You may either arrive a little early to your first appointment, or, if you'd prefer to fill it out before you arrive, you may download it here.
From time to time, people transfer the care of their pet from one veterinarian to another.
It's not uncommon and it is not difficult to do.
If you are a new client and you are transferring to WSVC, be sure to let us know that we should contact your previous veterinary care facility to initiate the transfer of your pet's records so that we can make the best use of your time upon your arrival.
