Preventative Pet Care

Quality Care Preventative Care

Our preventative health vaccination programs are designed to prevent disease and prolong the lives of your companion animals. Disease prevention is always less costly than dealing with the treatment of a disease once your pet has developed it. An example would be the treatment of parvovirus. Parvovirus treatment can frequently cost $600 or more, while a single parvovirus vaccination will usually cost less than $40.

Early diagnosis of disease processes can lead to longer, healthier lives for your pets. Annual physical exams can often detect health problems before they become life-threatening. Examples include organ function problems such as beginning heart and kidney failure, hormone dysfunctions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease, parasite infestations like heartworms, hookworms, whipworms, and treatable cancer conditions like melanoma, mast cell tumors, and lymphoma.

Peace of Mind

Microchipping is a safe, reliable, and permanent way to identify your pet and connect them back to you if they are ever lost. The microchip—about the size of a grain of rice—is placed just under the skin in the neck area using a needle, similar to a routine vaccine injection.

Once the chip is registered to an owner, we can contact you and help reunite your pet safely!

If your pet is brought to a humane society or veterinary clinic, staff can quickly scan for a microchip using a device similar to a grocery store scanner. This allows them to access your contact information and reach out right away.

While microchipping is highly effective, we also recommend using a collar with identification tags for added protection and peace of mind.
