Preventative Care
Why Preventative Care Is Important
Preventive care is essential to maintaining your pet’s health and ensuring they lead a long, happy life. Due to their shorter lifespan, pets can age more rapidly than humans and early detection of health issues is crucial in preventing more serious conditions from developing, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. By focusing on prevention, we can keep your pet in optimal health, improve their quality of life, and enhance their longevity, giving you many happy years together.

Wellness Exams
Our veterinarians will conduct a head-to-tail examination, looking for everything from minor gait issues to signs of dental disease. Your pet's eyes, ears, heart, and lungs will be carefully evaluated, paying close attention to any signals their body may be sending.
Preventative Testing
Based on your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle, we’ll recommend a suite of diagnostic tests to safeguard their health. This might include parasite screenings, bloodwork, or urinalysis. Early detection is the key to extending the longevity of your pet and safeguarding their quality of life.
