Wellness for Every Life Stage

Your pet’s health needs evolve as they grow, and our wellness services are designed to meet them where they are. Here’s what you can expect during each stage of their life:

Puppy & Kitten Care: A Healthy Start

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your life is an exciting adventure, and we’re here to help them start strong. During their first visit, we’ll create a customized preventive care plan to set the foundation for a lifetime of good health.

Our puppy and kitten care services include:

Nose-to-tail physical exams to assess overall health
Personalized vaccination schedules to protect against common illnesses
Nutritional counseling for growing bodies
Behavior and house-training guidance to build a positive routine
Microchipping for permanent identification and peace of mind
Parasite screening to ensure your pet is parasite-free
Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention to keep them safe from parasites

We’ll also discuss the best timing for spaying or neutering, which can vary depending on your pet’s breed and needs.

Adult Dog & Cat Care: Staying Strong and Healthy

Adulthood is a time of energy and exploration for your pet, and routine care is key to keeping them at their best. For dogs and cats ages 2-3 and beyond, we recommend annual wellness visits that may include:

A comprehensive physical exam to check their overall health
Vaccinations to maintain immunity
Skin, coat, eyes, ears, nose, and throat evaluations to catch issues early
Oral exams to evaluate dental hygiene and determine a teeth cleaning schedule
Behavioral counseling to address any changes in habits or needs
Nutritional recommendations to support their activity level and health
Blood panels to monitor organ function and blood cell counts
Parasite prevention and screening to protect against internal and external threats
Microchipping if not already completed

Wellness care is all about protecting your pet’s quality of life by staying ahead of potential health concerns.

Senior Dog & Cat Care: Aging Gracefully

As pets age, their needs become more specific, and even subtle changes can indicate a health concern. For senior pets—typically age 5-9 for dogs (depending on breed and size) and age 8 for cats—we recommend biannual wellness exams. These visits help us monitor their health closely and provide early intervention when needed.

Watch for these health issues in senior pets and call us if you notice any:

Changes in appetite or difficulty eating
Weight fluctuations or loss of muscle mass
Decreased energy levels or reluctance to move
Changes in stool quality or frequency
Vomiting, wheezing, or coughing
Depression or listless behavior
Signs of pain, such as limping or stiffness

Senior wellness care may also include additional diagnostic testing, such as bloodwork and X-rays, to evaluate organ function and overall health.

Exotic Pet Wellness Care

Exotic pets—like birds, reptiles, and small mammals—have unique health needs that require specialized care. Because these species instinctively hide signs of illness, regular wellness exams are essential for early detection and prevention.

During an exotic pet wellness visit, we provide:

Comprehensive Physical Exam

Birds: We assess feather condition, beak and nail health, and respiratory function.
Reptiles: Skin, shell, hydration, and body condition assessments are key to ensuring your scaly companion is healthy.
Small Mammals: Dental health, digestion, and infection screening can help prevent serious health issues in your small mammal.

Preventive Care & Diagnostics

Parasite screenings, bloodwork, and other species-specific tests
Nutritional and dietary counseling to prevent deficiencies
Habitat and enrichment recommendations for optimal well-being

Early Detection & Treatment

Identifying subtle signs of illness before they become serious
Addressing common issues like metabolic disease, infections, and malnutrition

Whether your exotic pet is new to your family or a longtime companion, our team ensures they receive the specialized care they need to live a long, healthy life.

If your pet is due for a wellness visit, don’t wait any longer—contact us for an appointment! Whether your pet is just starting their journey or enjoying their golden years, our team is here to help them thrive.
