WELLNESS AND VACCINATION PROGRAMS
Our wellness and vaccination programs are designed to prevent diseases
and prolong the lives or your companion animals.
Disease prevention is always less costly than dealing with the treatment
of a disease once your pet has developed it. An example would be
the treatment of parvovirus. Parvovirus treatment can frequently
cost $1,000 or more while a single parvovirus vaccination will usually
cost less than $100.
Early diagnosis of a disease process can lead your pet to a longer
healthier life. Kidney disease, if diagnosed early, will allow us
to modify your dog or cat's diet and in some cases add supplements
to their diet to potentially extend their lives. There are many other
conditions to which an early diagnosis is advantageous.
Puppy Wellness
Our puppy wellness program is designed to offer your new puppy all the benefits
of veterinary services available to him / or her from 6 weeks of age to 16 weeks
of age. Included in this service is a series of examinations and vaccinations
including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, etc. In addition, your puppy will be
tested for worms and be treated for the most common intestinal worm of puppies – roundworms.
Roundworms can cause gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting and / or diarrhea.
There are other parasites that can cause similar symptoms and can even cause
your puppy to become anemic (low red blood cells). Performing a fecal test will
allow us to treat your puppy accordingly. Although some worms are visible to
the naked eye, most worm burdens are diagnosed by examining the stool of your
puppy microscopically.
Adult Pet Wellness
We provide diagnostic and wellness services for your adult pet including but
not limited to: blood testing, fecal testing, and urine testing. Your personal
yearly check up at your doctor is likely to include these tests and so should
your pet's yearly exam. Every year we detect many disease processes in apparently ‘normal'
adult animals. The results help us address problems in the early stages. Early
diagnosis and appropriate treatments can result in your companion living a longer
healthier life.

Kitten Wellness
Our
kitten wellness program is designed to offer your new kitten all
the benefits of veterinary services available to him / or her from
6 weeks of age to 12 weeks of age. Included in this service is a
series of examinations and vaccinations including rabies, panleukopenia
(distemper), leukemia, etc. In addition, your kitten will be tested
for worms and be treated for the most common intestinal worm of kittens – roundworms.
Roundworms can cause your kitten to vomit and / or experience diarrhea;
however, it is possible for your kitten to have roundworms and not
show any signs of harboring the worms. A microscopic fecal examination
will allow us to evaluate the presence of these worms. The examination
will also look for other types of worms that can affect your kitten.
Senior Pet Wellness
Once your dog turns 7 years of age or your cat turns 8 years of
age, we recommend that they undergo a thorough senior wellness
exam and diagnostic work-up. Even though you may believe your
pet is normal, there are many disease processes that do not show
any outward sign until the disease is quite advanced. More advanced
diseases can be more difficult to treat and are not always as responsive to
treatment as diseases diagnosed early.
Early detection of diseases such as kidney disease, thyroid disease,
etc. will allow us to administer the appropriate treatments to help
extend your pet's life.
Many symptoms that historically have been attributed to old age
and considered untreatable are now treatable. For example, some dogs
that appear to have lost their mental alertness can be returned to
a mental status indicative of a younger age using appropriate therapy.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss our senior wellness program
in more detail.
