This is where we start you and your pet off on the right foot, and check in regularly to see that you’re staying on the right path. Call (617) 247-2273 to schedule an wellness visit today.
What Pet Wellness Care Entails
We sit down with pet parents daily to discuss the needs of their canine and/or feline family members. We're also here to answer all your questions and examine your pet from every angle so we can truly understand their health.
A typical pet wellness care visit covers routine services that every companion animal should have in their health plan:
Annual or semi-annual exams to monitor your pet’s condition
Screening for heartworm disease, intestinal parasites, giardia, and other diseases
Providing flea, tick and heartworm preventatives
Providing core vaccines for your pet and discussing the lifestyle vaccines they might need sooner or later in life
Offering suggestions for a healthy, balanced diet and proper exercise
Explaining dental cleanings and how to improve and maintain your pet’s oral health
Staying in Tune with Changes in Your Pet’s Lifestyle
From one year to the next, your pet’s health needs are going to change. By recommending that they receive annual wellness exams, we can stay in tune with these changes. No matter how young or old, they will remain protected from disease and enjoy the best quality of life possible.
As they age, your pet's health risks increase, making semi-annual exams an essential part of their care. When we can identify a disease or other problem before it causes clinical signs, your pet's treatment will be much more successful. Our senior preventive work-up breaks down all of the services we recommend for their needs. This complete screening diagnostic is suggested for seemingly healthy pets over 7 years old, the age at which "invisible" health changes start taking place within the body.
