Wellness Healthcare Programs

A regular physical examination is just as important for your pet as it is for you. Our veterinarians recommend a complete physical examination for your pet at least once, and perhaps twice a year. During a physical examination, your veterinarian will listen to your pet's heart and lungs, evaluate your pet's vision, look for any unusual lumps or swelling and check your pet's teeth and oral cavity, among other procedures.

Routine examinations give your vet an opportunity to develop a picture of your pet's overall health. Examinations are also essential in spotting problems before they become serious health issues. During an exam, your veterinarian may also talk to you about home healthcare for your pet. An examination is also a good time for your pet to get up-to-date on his or her vaccinations. Ask your veterinarian about scheduling an examination today.

Vaccination Protocols

Due to the many recent discoveries and innovations in veterinary medicine your pet can be protected against most major infectious diseases. Today, many immunizations and preventative treatments are available that did not exist a decade ago.

Vaccines are useful in preventing canine distemper, parvovirus, bordetella, rabies, Lyme disease and other diseases in your dog and feline leukemia, panleukopenia, rabies and feline immunodeficiency virus in cats. Our staff can assist you in deciding which preventative measures are necessary for your pet.

Up-to-date vaccinations play a large part in keeping your pet healthy and free from disease. However, not every pet requires the same series or frequency of vaccines. Our veterinarians will tailor a vaccine protocol that's specific to your pet based on his or her lifestyle. Vaccine schedules are subject to change based on the most current information available. Please call our hospital for information about our vaccine protocols.

Behavioral Counseling

Behavioral problems are the number one reason pets are taken to animal shelters. The problems can vary-sometimes, the issues involve inappropriate urination or defecation, fear aggression, phobias of noises, separation anxiety or other factors. Whatever behavioral problem your pet is experience, we offer examinations, counseling, behavior modification programs and, sometimes, drug therapy, to resolve the issue.

Before behavior counseling, our veterinarians will examine your pet to make sure there are no physical or medical conditions at the root of the behavior problem. The next step is to understand the particular behavior issue affecting your pet. You and your veterinarian will work together to come up with a plan to help change your pet's undesirable behavior. Your pet may also be prescribed medication to accompany the behavior plan. Medication alone will not solve the problem, but will make it easier for your pet to accept the behavior modification plan.

Any behavioral modification program will take extensive amounts of time and effort on the part of your family and your pet, and you should be prepared for these factors. In some cases, we will refer you to veterinarians specializing in behavioral medicine.
