Whether you just got a new puppy or kitten or you have an aging pet, regular check ups are an important and necessary way to keep your pet happy and healthy. Wellness exams provide us with an overall look at your pets health and help us detect any potential medical problems.

During a physical exam we listen to your pets heart and lungs, look at their eyes and ears, feel for any abnormal lumps, bumps or swelling. We will look in your pets mouth and at their teeth to check for tartar build up. We will often discuss preventative dental care such as brushing your pets teeth or suggest that they come in for a dental cleaning. We will also check your pets joints for arthritis and swelling. You are a key part in our exam as well. We will often ask questions about your pets health and behavior to help in our overall evaluation.

 

Vaccines

Vaccines are key in preventing diseases in your pet. In our area we have a few common diseases that can be easily prevented through vaccination. We use Pfizer and Merial vaccines and will discuss your pets individual risks and vaccinate accordingly.

Dental Care

Dental care is another way to keep your pet happy and healthy. Tartar build up on teeth can not only cause bad breath and gum disease but bacteria can spread and cause kidney and liver problems for your pet. We offer a wide variety of Virbac dental health products such as toothpastes and treats. We also have a digital dental x-ray machine to diagnose dental problems.

If it is too late for prevention, we can clean your pets teeth for you. During our dental cleaning, your pet is put under anesthesia and their teeth are cleaned and polished.

Microchipping

There are few things worse than having your pet get lost and not having a way back home. Avid microchips will help solve this problem! We implant a small microchip under your pets skin. If your pet gets lost and is brought to a shelter or veterinary hospital, they will be scanned for the chip and an ID number will help identify them. When you register your pet on the AVID website, your pets name and address will be known to whoever found your pet so they can return him to you!

Parasite Prevention/Treatment

Disease can be spread through parasites so preventing them is a must! We offer many products for Flea, Tick and Heartworm prevention such as Frontline, Sentinel, Interceptor, Vectra, Revolution and Heartguard. If you are having a specific problem with fleas give us a call and we can recommend a combination of products that can eradicate the situation safely and efficiently!

We also suggest the 4dx snap test, an annual heartworm test that also tests for lyme’s disease, erlichia and anaplasmosis.

Health care products and special diets

We carry a full line of Hills Prescription Diet foods as well as hypoallergenic and weight loss treats, shampoos and skin care products, Greenies pill pockets for easy medication dispensing, and Vetri-Science behavior and health care supplements.
