Canine Wellness Care
Our canine companions have distinctive needs when it comes to wellness and preventive care that begins as a puppy and continues on through their senior years. For example, did you know that unlike cats, dogs are omnivores? This means they can eat and remain healthy on both animal and plant-based foods!
Since dogs come in all shapes and sizes, your furry family member might have specific needs that pertain to their breed. We will recommend specific and individualized care for pets based on breed, lifestyle, and their stage in life.
Puppy Care
Within the first year of a dog’s life, we recommend:
- Vaccines and boosters depending on lifestyle
- Preventive care checkup
- Spaying or neutering
- Intestinal Parasite testing
- Flea, tick and heartworm prevention year round
Adult Dog Care
For continuing wellness into a dog’s adulthood, we recommend:
- Vaccines
- Nutritional assessment
- Parasite prevention
- Behavior consultations
- Dental care
- Intestinal parasite testing
Senior Dog Care
Senior dogs should get all the adult care and routine labs to let us know when we might need to intervene on certain senior dog disease issues. We recommend these labs for senior dogs:
- Blood cell count
- Blood chemistry
- Urinalysis
- Thyroid testing
Furthermore, we check on both arthritis and mobility management and assess your senior pet’s nutrition regimen, as their dietary needs change when they grow older.
