Preventing disease is the most important thing we do. With comprehensive wellness examinations, heartworm and other parasite preventatives, and specific recommendations appropriate to each stage of your pet’s life, we work with you to catch illness early or, preferably, prevent it altogether.
We give vaccines appropriate to the exact needs of your pet. Whenever possible, we give vaccines that provide immunity for three years and avoid the common tendency to over-vaccinate. Our veterinary team is dedicated to educating you on practical, common-sense preventative care for your pet, from the pediatric to the geriatric stage.
Annual wellness testing
The increased affordability of blood screening has made annual wellness testing more popular. These early-detection tools provide excellent baseline values for comparison if your pet becomes ill in the future, and can catch illnesses that may still be undetectable otherwise. We offer wellness packages at your pet’s annual exam based on their life stage:
- Canine Adult Panel. A chemistry panel that evaluates kidney and liver function, blood sugar, electrolyte and thyroid levels, plus a complete blood count (CBC) of red cells, white cells and platelets. Includes your dog’s recommended yearly vector-borne disease and heartworm test and a GI parasite PCR fecal screening.
- Canine Senior Panel. Everything in the Adult Panel, plus a thyroid evaluation and a urinalysis.
- Feline Adult Panel. A chemistry panel, CBC, fecal screening and a urinalysis.
- Feline Senior Panel. Everything in the Feline Adult Panel, plus a thyroid evaluation.
