The Importance of Preventive Care
Pets age at a faster rate than people. Routine exams are a great way to help your pet achieve optimal health by focusing on prevention and early disease detection. Exams are critical to helping your dog or cat maintain good long-term physical health.
Combined with regular vaccinations, parasite prevention and proper nutrition, these routine examinations include regular physical checkups to give your pet the best chance at optimal lifelong health.
Routine Wellness exams allow us to check up on your dog or cat’s overall health, offer advice on preventing serious health issues from developing, and catch issues early, when they are most treatable.
Vaccinations & Preventative Care
During your pet’s routine wellness exam, the veterinarian will also check whether they require preventive care, or if your dog or cat is due for any routine vaccinations.
What Happens at a Routine Exam?
We will conduct a physical exam of your pet which generally consists of any or all of the following:
– Checking the weight and body condition
– Checking overall attitude of your pet
– Listening to your pet’s heart & lungs
– Checking lymph nodes

Puppies & Kittens
With recent advances in veterinary medical knowledge and care, as well as newer therapies and better nutrition, geriatric dogs and cats continue to live longer than ever.
Puppies and kittens need proper medical attention in their first few weeks of life to get them off to their healthiest possible start.
We’ll give your new best friend a complete physical examination, provide appropriate immunizations and administer deworming medication. We will also test your puppy or kitten for intestinal parasites.
We hope that you will feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have about caring for your new pet, both at your appointments or following your visits with us.
