Routine Veterinary Care

Routine veterinary care is the cornerstone of your pet’s long-term health and well-being. It encompasses a wide range of essential services designed to keep your pet in peak condition, including regular physical exams, vaccinations, dental care, and preventative treatments such as flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. These routine visits allow our veterinarians to monitor your pet’s health, detect potential issues early on, and provide timely interventions that can prevent minor concerns from becoming major health problems.

During routine check-ups, your vet will conduct a thorough examination, assessing everything from your pet’s weight and coat condition to their heart and lung function. This holistic approach helps in identifying subtle changes that may indicate underlying health issues, allowing for prompt and effective treatment. Additionally, routine care includes tailored advice on your pet’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle, ensuring that they receive the right nutrition and activity levels to support their overall health.

Annual Bloodwork and Urinalysis are recommended to set a baseline of what is normal for your pet and monitor any changes through the years to catch health issues early.

Research shows that even seemingly healthy patients had clinically relevant abnormalities on preventive care lab work.

Annual fecal checks for intestinal parasites are vital in keeping your pet healthy as well as your whole family. Some intestinal parasites are zoonotic, meaning that they can spread to humans, so monitoring and prevention are key.

Beyond medical care, routine veterinary visits offer a chance to strengthen the bond between you, your pet, and your veterinarian. This relationship is crucial in creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet during visits, which can make future medical care easier and more effective. By committing to regular veterinary care, you’re investing in a healthier, happier life for your pet, ensuring they enjoy many years of companionship by your side.
