Just like any newborn baby, puppies and kittens are vulnerable and require special attention. They’ll need parasite testing, a vaccination schedule, and we may also discuss their diet to ensure they are getting the nutrition they need. We’ll also touch base about a spay or neuter surgery for your new pet. The surgery has loads of benefits that far outweigh the negatives.

Depending on their lifestyle, adults may require different vaccinations such as Bordetella for kennel cough, or other lifestyle vaccines. It’s also important that their parasite prevention is consistent and any new development such as allergies are swiftly addressed and treated. This time of a pet’s life is typically the least needy, but that doesn’t mean you should stop bringing them to see us! They need thorough exams and updated vaccinations on the regular.

Older pets, just like newborns, have a special set of vulnerabilities. Now that veterinary medicine is so advanced, pets are living longer fuller lives, which also leads to some of the same issues we suffer from as humans. They are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer, may lose their sight or hearing, and often develop chronic conditions such as arthritis. Bi-annual pet exams help your pet maintain their health well into their golden years. We not only treat them for any malady but can offer advice and treatments for their at-home care that fits into your lifestyle and their needs.
