Comprehensive Physical Exams

By bringing your pet in twice a year for a comprehensive wellness exam, you can stay up-to-date on any and all changes to your pet's health. We recommend twice-annual physicals as opposed to more "traditional" annual physicals because they help to paint a more thorough picture of your pet's health and allow us to discover potential problems earlier on.

Routine Blood and Urine Testing

Regular blood and urine testing are also recommended for pets of all ages. A blood test can detect a number of potential health problems in your pet, ranging from a low blood cell count to infections and so much more. Urine testing is also a great way to check for kidney disease, bladder stones, and other medical conditions in your pet that you may otherwise be unaware of.

Parasite and Pest Control

Protecting your pets from parasites, heartworm, and pests is an important responsibility. As part of our preventative care and wellness plans, our team can help you determine the best course of action for preventing these kinds of problems. From providing heartworm and other parasite medications to making recommendations for the best products to fight against fleas and ticks, we can help you keep your pet and home healthy and pest-free.

Routine Dental Care

You may not realize it, but your pet's dental health can play a vital role in its overall health as well. For this reason, we recommend regular dental exams for your pet, as well as routine cleanings as they become necessary. By taking care of your pet's oral health, you may be able to protect your pet from problems such as heart disease, gum disease, and infections in the mouth.

Nutritional and Behavioral Counseling

When it comes to your pet's diet and lifestyle, speaking with a knowledgeable member of our staff can be a wise decision. We can sit down with you, go over your pet's current diet and lifestyle, and make recommendations to help improve your pet's overall quality of life. Whether your pet needs to lose weight or could simply benefit from a more active lifestyle, nutritional and behavioral counseling is a great way to get the guidance you need.
