Preventative Health Care

Early detection increases the odds of successful treatment for many medical conditions. Physical wellness examinations are recommended annually for young pets and every six months for pets seven years or older. We recommend a blood chemistry screen for our senior patients in order to identify diseases that cannot be detected with a physical exam.

Routine Check-Ups

Annual and bi-annual exams are the cornerstone for maintaining a healthy pet. By discussing your pet’s history and through physical examination, we can assess their overall well-being and make recommendations to enable your pet to live a longer, healthier life.

Vaccinations

There are a number of highly infectious and potentially fatal diseases that can affect the health of your dog and cat.  Vaccinating your pet against the majority of these conditions can help keep them from becoming potentially fatal, especially when your pet is still a puppy or a kitten.  Ensuring that your pet completes an initial course of vaccinations and annual check-ups with booster shots is important to keep your pet fit and healthy.

Dentistry

Dental disease is very common in both cats and dogs.  Studies show that after the age of three years, seven out of ten pets can develop problems with their teeth.  Without treatment irreparable damage can occur to the teeth, gums and jawbones.  Dental disease can be prevented by periodic cleaning and by keeping your pet’s teeth brushed to remove the build up of plaque.  In addition, there are oral solutions and treats that help keep your pet’s teeth healthy for their lifetime.

Microchipping

The odds of finding your lost pet without a microchip are very small.  Animal rescue organizations and shelters are seeing a huge amount of pets that are displaced from their homes and their owners are not able to locate them.  Micro-chipping your pet allows you to gain the upper hand in the event that your pet is lost.  Most shelters and veterinary clinics have the ability to scan for a micro-chip, which is a rice sized pellet that contains your personal contact information as well as your pet’s information.  Micro-chips are a very affordable way to keep your pet from being lost forever.  Visit our links page for the Home Again website.
