- Physical exams

Proactive veterinary care helps catch issues early—keeping your pet healthy and happy.
Senior Pet Care
Senior Pet Care
Senior pets have unique needs, and our team is passionate about supporting them through every stage of life. For pets over 7, we recommend visits every six months to monitor:
- Arthritis and mobility changes
- Dental disease
- Heart, liver, and kidney function
- Endocrine and cognitive changes
With routine bloodwork, early intervention, and supportive care like supplements, prescription diets, and lifestyle modifications, we help ensure your senior pet stays comfortable and active for years to come.
Parasite Control
Parasite Control
Protecting your pet from internal and external parasites is essential for their well-being—and your family’s health.
External Parasites:
Fleas and ticks can transmit serious illnesses like Lyme disease and Ehrlichiosis, and cause painful skin issues like flea allergy dermatitis.
Internal Parasites:
Roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms can infect your pet and even spread to humans. Children are particularly vulnerable.
Heartworm Disease:
Mosquito-borne and potentially fatal, heartworm disease is preventable with monthly medication. Early symptoms may not be noticeable, so prevention is crucial.
We recommend year-round protection and can help you choose the right products for your pet.
Pet Dental Care
Pet Dental Care
Most pets show signs of dental disease by age 3. Left untreated, this can lead to:

- Bacteria spreading to the heart, liver, or kidneys
Our dental care services include:
- Oral exams
- Professional dental cleanings (COHATs) under anesthesia
- Digital dental X-rays
- Extractions (if needed)
- Home care recommendations including brushing and dental diets
Preventive dental care is one of the best ways to improve your pet’s quality of life.
