Dogs and Cats
Puppies and kittens need appointments every 3 weeks until all the boosters are administered, usually past 4 months of age. Spaying and neutering are usually advised during the first year of life.
Adult pets generally need vet visits once a year.
Senior pets and those with chronic illnesses may require more frequent care.
We will provide your pet with the necessary vaccinations and check for underlying health issues. Remember - prevention and early intervention are key to maintaining healthy, vibrant lives.

Treatments
They can prevent infectious diseases that can cause severe illness or even death. Vaccinations help safeguard your pets and significantly extend their lives - and some are required by law.
Pet vaccinations are a public health concern and can safeguard your family members. Such is the case of rabies, which can be transmitted to multiple species including humans.
The first rabies shot is good for one year. From that point on, rabies vaccinations last for three years. We will discuss the best options for your pet.
Dental disease is more than just bad pet breath. If not removed, plaque and tartar buildup on your pet's teeth and gum line can cause tooth decay and gum disease, which can result in pain and even tooth loss. Harmful oral bacteria can also be released into the bloodstream, putting your pet's health at risk. We may recommend dental cleaning under general anesthesia, to safeguard your pet's oral and overall health.
We are happy to discuss parasite prevention products for fleas, ticks, and heartworms as these threats are found inside and outside our homes. Beware of over-the-counter parasite prevention products, which are often ineffective and can be harmful to your furry friend.
Heartworm disease is transmitted to your pet through mosquito bites. Mosquitoes can make it easily into your home, so even strictly indoor pets require heartworm prevention for their protection.
We will evaluate your pet's unique needs to help you determine the ideal time to spay or neuter your cat or dog. However, the best time to spay or neuter pets ideally is between 6 months to just over a year.
Microchipping is a simple yet invaluable measure that significantly increases the chances of a happy reunion if your pet ever wanders away. Unlike collars or tags, microchips are permanent and cannot be removed or lost. The process involves implanting a tiny chip under your pet's skin, containing a unique identification number linked to your contact details. This ensures quick and reliable identification.
Common signs of a pet emergency may include the following:
- Difficulty breathing
- Extreme coughing or choking
- Ingestion of toxins or poisonous substances
- Bloating or a swollen or painful abdomen
- Severe diarrhea or vomiting
- Difficulty urinating
- Seizures or convulsions
- Unconsciousness, weakness, or lethargy
- Inability to stand or walk
- Heavy bleeding that will not stop
Pets are masters at hiding their pain, so if you have any concerns, contact our office to schedule a same-day appointment. If your pet experiences an emergency after office hours, please contact an emergency pet veterinarian for immediate care.
