Wellness Exams
Wellness care is an essential part of keeping your pet healthy. It is through a complete and comprehensive examination and consultation with you that allows us to determine your pet’s health care needs. Wellness care includes things such as physical exams, customized vaccination schedules reflecting your pet’s breed, lifestyle and individual needs, proper food/nutrition evaluation and disease screening for conditions such as heartworm, lymes and giardia.
We recommend a bi-annual wellness complete physical exam. At the wellness exam, your pet will receive a complete physical checkup and customized vaccinations, if necessary, and heartworm protection (after annual blood test) and flea and tick protection. The heartworm, flea and tick products we offer are Heartgard and Frontline, Revolution, Comfortis, Trifexis, Interceptor and Sentinel Assurity flea medicine for cats. We also have topical Comfortis for cats. This is a great opportunity for you to talk to your veterinarian and ask her any questions you might have.
Eye exams are important for breed specific eye diseases. If you have a breed that is prone to eye conditions, we will discuss these conditions with you and help educate you about the condition and work as a team with you for the best treatment for your pet. At your pet’s annual exam, your veterinarian will do an eye exam as part of their physical exam.

Your Pet's 2012 Resolution:
Help them get Healthy!
As the New Year begins and we make our new year's resolution to lose weight, let's not forget to add our overweight pets into the plan. As reward-based training becomes more popular, so does pet obesity. This is a serious issue and obesity is a leading contributor to diabetes in pets. Overeating, a predisposition for obesity, lack of exercise and eating the wrong types of food are the most likely causes of your pet's weight gain. Overweight pets may be suffering physically as a result of carrying the extra weight, and obese pets, like obese humans, do not live as long as their more active and weight appropriate counterparts. Obesity in pets is a condition over which the owner has significant control.
