Wellness
We recommend that your pets receive a veterinary examination once yearly. Your pets age more quickly than humans and their size and breed influence this age. A yearly exam will allow us to review your pet's recent history, lifestyle, daily activities, diet, and behavior.
The physical examination includes a dental assessment, pain assessment, and body condition scoring. We will then make a specific and detailed plan for your pet. Some recommendations
that may be given are:
-
Appropriate diagnostic test, including an annual heartworm blood test and testing for intestinal parasites
-
Year-round broad-spectrum parasite prevention/control, including protesction against heartworms, intestinal parasites, ticks
-
Dental care (both home care and dental cleaning
-
Thereapeutic management of medical conditions
