A Lifetime By Your Side
Starts with preventative medicine.
How does my pet benefit from regular preventive care?
Your pet’s preventive care plan includes many components that collectively ensure they stay healthy and happy for as long as possible.
- Physical exam — During each visit, we will perform a thorough nose-to-tail physical exam to evaluate your pet’s eyes, ears, mouth, heart, lungs, skin, coat, and overall health. All the while, we check for the slightest sign that may indicate your pet requires further diagnostic testing.
- Vaccines — Lifestyle-appropriate vaccines ensure your pet is protected from dangerous infectious diseases that can threaten their health.
- Heartworm disease screening — Annual heartworm disease testing ensures your furry friend is free from this deadly disease.
- Tick-borne disease screening — We also screen dogs annually for Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis—dangerous diseases which are transmitted by ticks.
- Parasite prevention — We will recommend heartworm, flea, and tick preventives that best fit your pet’s needs to protect them from heartworm and tick-borne diseases.
- Fecal parasite screening — Intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia, and Giardia can debilitate your pet by depleting nutrients, and causing vomiting and diarrhea.
- Complete blood count (CBC) — A CBC provides important information about your pet’s red and white blood cells, and platelets. Abnormalities can help us detect infections, systemic disease, anemia, and blood clotting problems.
- Baseline screening tests — A complete blood profile evaluates your pet’s organ function and provides baseline values to which future results can be compared.
- Routine dental care — Dental disease is the most common health problem to affect pets, and regular professional cleanings, paired with at-home care, can stave off this constant threat.
