Our highly skilled veterinarians strive to offer exceptional preventive care options to promote long-term wellness for your pets. 

Vaccinations

Vaccines are an essential part of wellness care for pets. They should receive vaccines generally within their first year of life or the time they can safely tolerate the needles. Baby animals generally do not have the immunity to safely get vaccinated. Some of the common vaccines for dogs include rabies, hepatitis, distemper, and canine parvovirus. Cats also receive vaccines for rabies, feline distemper, and rhinotracheitis. A vet from our staff will inform you of the needed vaccines and schedule.

Teeth and Gums

Oral health is critical for pets. Gum disease, rotting teeth, and other ailments can cause excruciating pain for your pet, affecting its quality of life and ability to eat. Harmful bacteria can also seep into your pet's body and cause further damage and pain. One of the best things you can do for your pet's teeth is to schedule an annual deep cleaning at our pet clinic to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Sedation is needed for teeth cleaning for the safest and most thorough job. We'll also give you different tips on how to brush your pet's teeth between checkups.

Pet Lifestyle

Part of pet maintenance is also understanding how their living environment affects health and wellness. Proper diet and exercise are needed to prevent obesity, heart disease, cancer, and joint problems. We can educate you on proper nutrition and portions, so your pet is getting the right amount of nutrients. It's also wise to know how to protect your pet from household toxins, heat exposure, or any other safety hazards around the house.
