Congratulations on becoming a puppy or kitten parent!
It is best to make an appointment to do a thorough physical examination as well as a fecal exam to check for intestinal parasites within days of bringing them home.
We will discuss nutrition and create a vaccine and preventative care plan together.
Vaccine schedules vary due to the age of the pet and which vaccines are necessary for their lifestyle.
We recommend seeing a senior patient twice a year.
As they are aging it is helpful to detect changes and give treatment earlier.

We use our microscope to assess skin and ear swab samples, looking for parasites and the nature of infections.
We are equipped with an in-house chemistry and cell blood count machine.
We use these machines to give us faster results on samples taken from ill animals and for doing pre-anesthesia panels on the day of procedures.
We send out a variety of bloodwork for health checks, testing for heartworm and screening for tick borne disease such as lyme, ehrlichia and anaplasmosis, fecal analysis, urine analysis, to name a few.

Our in-house pharmacy contains several heartworm and flea and tick preventative medications.
We also carry nearly every medication we prescribe to our patients whether it is a supplement, medicated shampoo, or a treatment for infections, allergies, gastrointestinal or thyroid disease.
Many medications that are not on hand can be ordered or prescribed elsewhere.
We carry a line of prescription food from the Royal Canin company.
These are specific foods used to treat or prevent diseases such as allergies, urinary and gastrointestinal disorders.

Dental care always starts at home.
We advise our pet owners to clean their pet's teeth daily.
This usually involves wiping the outsides of the teeth without even opening the mouth.
Regular exams may reveal the need for a dental prophylactic procedure, when the tartar starts to build up and especially when there is visible gingivitis.
A dental treatment is similar to surgery, we would do bloodwork either beforehand or the day of the procedure, give pain medication and start intravenous fluids.
An ultrasonic scaler is used to remove tartar on the tooth surface and under the gingiva and fluoride is applied to protect the teeth.
