When a new pet enters your home, having a vet evaluate their health is a good idea. Knowing the current state of your pet’s health is important to understand your pet’s needs. By being proactive in their care, we can identify any health issues early on and help prevent them from becoming a long-lasting concern. If you are undecided about whether to have your pet’s health examined, some benefits to consider include:
Preventing Health Complications: Pet wellness exams allow our team to run tests and evaluate your pet for diseases or parasites that may not be noticeable without early detection. Various diseases and infections can be detected early on and effectively treated if diagnosed quickly.
Following the Law: All provinces have mandates about vaccinating pets to protect them, other animals, and people from being infected with various diseases and viruses animals can carry. Also, if you plan to board your animal or have them groomed, many vets and businesses require that your pet is up to date on their vaccines to protect the other pets in their care.
Keeping Your Family Safe: While we love being close to our pets, it can be easy to forget that animals can carry diseases and viruses that are transmissible to people. By having your pet examined regularly and vaccinated, you can help protect your pet and your family.
Bringing home a puppy or kitten is an exciting time for a family, and our team wants to help confirm your new family member is healthy and provide guidance for promoting a healthy life for your pet. We offer a wellness package for your new, small addition. Our vet will explain what a proper diet looks like for your pet, options for spaying or neutering, and any needed vaccines. We are here for you to answer any questions or concerns you may have about temperament, behavior, socialization, and many other topics to prepare you as a new pet owner.
As our pets age, their health concerns change, and how you care for them will also need to adapt. We conduct pet wellness exams for senior pets more thoroughly. We will complete a full senior blood work panel to compare with baselines from when they were younger. If there are any changes, we can use the information to help us identify if there’s a new developing problem. Our staff will perform x-rays and other diagnostics as needed to evaluate your pet’s bone density and joint health.
We offer treatments for arthritis, which include monthly injections relieving arthritic pain and keeping your pet more comfortable for longer. Our vet provides laser treatments to help regenerate damaged nerves and muscles from the aging process or previous injuries. To help your pet heal, we can perform a platelet-rich plasma treatment (PRP) to boost your pet’s recovery from procedures conducted.
