Our puppy and kitten wellness programs are designed
to offer your new pet all the benefits of our
comprehensive veterinary services. We recommend
starting your new puppy or kitten on our wellness
program from 6 weeks to 16 weeks of age. Included in
our pet wellness packages are a series of examinations
performed by our veterinarians to ensure your puppy
or kitten is developing at a normal and healthy rate. In
addition, your new pet will be tested for worms and
be treated for the most common intestinal worm
found in puppies and kittens known as "roundworms".
Roundworms can cause gastrointestinal signs such as
vomiting and/or diarrhea. There are other parasites
that can cause similar symptoms and can even cause
your puppy to become anemic (low red blood cells).
Although some worms are visible to the naked eye,
most worm problems are diagnosed by examining the
stool of your puppy microscopically. Performing a fecal
test will allow us to advise you on the most effective
treatment plan for your new puppy or kitten.
Pet Wellness
A yearly wellness examination with your veterinarian
and program specific to your pets needs are the best
ways to keep your pet healthy and enjoying life.
During your pet's annual wellness examination, our
veterinarians will perform the following:
•
Full physical examination
•
Weight - monitoring weight gain or loss is
important and can aid in early detection of
diseases
•
Dental examination - your pet's mouth is similar
to your own and oral health is very important. A
thorough dental exam can identify concerns such
as gingivitis, fractured teeth, or infections.
•
Vaccinations - specific to your pet's needs
•
Wellness blood work - heartworm testing and
routine blood work can aid in early detection of
diseases and are recommended as part of every
wellness examination
