Your pet's health is always our number one priority, which is why for most pets we recommend annual wellness exams to ensure that your animal companion remains in good health.
If your pet is a senior-over seven for dogs, over nine for cats-we strongly suggest twice-yearly exams and blood screenings.
That's because pets age more rapidly than humans, meaning disease and illness develop faster as well.
Forrest Avenue Animal Hospital's veterinarian-performed physical exams comprehensively assess every aspect of your pet's health.

Young animals are like kids-it's a never-ending job to keep them safe and happy.
Vaccinating your pet is a relatively inexpensive but very important way to protect his or her health.
In addition to preventing many life-threatening illnesses, vaccinations can prevent diseases prevalent in wildlife and those that can be passed to humans.
It's important to administer vaccinations when pets are puppies and kittens because their young immune systems are still developing and need protection to stay healthy.

Imagine if you never brushed your teeth or had them cleaned.
Pretty frightening, right?
As you can imagine, things would eventually start to go very, very bad inside your mouth: teeth would rot and decay, gums would become inflamed and infected.
Bacteria from those rotting teeth would eventually travel into your bloodstream and could cause other serious health problems.
And we haven't even mentioned the daily, debilitating pain.
It's the same scenario for your dog or cat.
While some people might laugh at the idea of brushing their pet's teeth or taking them for a dental cleaning, the fact is that by age three, roughly 80 percent of pets show some evidence of periodontal disease.
