Preventive Pet Services

Pet wellness exams are regular check-ups that are key to monitoring and maintaining your pet’s health. We recommend annual exams, but some pets might need more frequent visits based on age, breed, and health conditions. Our gentle and experienced veterinarians thoroughly check your pet from nose to tail to ensure your companion is in top shape. Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Perform a physical examination
  • Take vital signs
  • Check the eyes, ears, mouth, skin, and coat
  • Listen to the heart and lungs
  • Palpate the abdomen and lymph nodes
  • Evaluate the joints and muscles

We will also ask questions about your pet’s behavior, diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Based on our findings, we will provide you with recommendations for preventive care, such as vaccinations, parasite control, dental care, nutrition, and weight management.

By detecting any issues early, we can intervene before they progress into more severe conditions. This way, we can keep your beloved companion happy, healthy, and thriving for as long as possible.

Vaccinations protect your pets from contagious and potentially fatal diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, leukemia, and Lyme disease. We follow the guidelines of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to determine the appropriate vaccines for your pets based on their age, breed, health status, lifestyle, and risk factors.


We’ve got all your pet’s vaccine needs covered, from the must-have core shots to those optional ones, tailored just for them based on their unique lifestyle and risk factors. Plus, we’ll monitor their vaccine history and remind you when it’s time for their booster shots to ensure your pet is always protected. Want to dive deeper into the world of pet vaccinations? Check out our vaccinations page for all the details you need!

Heartworm disease is a serious condition in dogs and cats, spread by mosquitoes. It’s scary to think about, but catching it early or preventing it is key. We use a simple blood test to detect heartworms in your pet, ensuring we’re always a step ahead.


If your pet tests negative, that’s great news! We’ll provide a monthly preventive medication to keep it that way. However, if they test positive, don’t worry. We’re here to discuss all the treatment options and provide the care your pet needs to return to being their happy, healthy self.

We stock our in-house pharmacy with everything your pet needs, from prescription medications and special diet foods to flea & heartworm preventatives. Rest easy knowing we only carry high-quality, FDA and EPA-approved products.


When it comes to medication, our team has got your back. We’ll review your pet’s medical records to ensure they receive the proper dosage and guide you on how to administer these medications and what signs to watch for. We’re here to support you every step of the way in your pet’s health journey!
