Preventative Medicine Flea and Tick Prevention
We recommend that all dogs and cats receive flea and tick preventative. The safest and most effective preventatives can be discussed and dispensed by our staff at the time of your pet’s visit.
Heartworm Disease Prevention
All dogs and cats should be placed on a monthly Heartworm preventative to stop this potentially fatal disease from infecting your pet. Dogs require a yearly Heartworm blood test to monitor for the presence of this disease, whereas cats are tested only if the veterinarian feels that it is indicated. Although this disease is much more common, complicated and fatal in dogs, it is still desirable to prevent it from affecting your cat. Ask for our advice.
Intestinal Parasites/Worms
All pets should have a yearly fecal (Stool) sample checked for internal parasites. This can be done at the time of your pet’s yearly exam and booster visit.
Teeth Cleaning/Dentistry
Dogs and cats teeth need periodic cleaning and care, just like us. As pets get older they will accumulate bacteria laden tartar on their teeth and need dental care, which we can provide. Preventative cleaning of the teeth will avoid tooth loss or general health complications like heart, kidney and liver disease, which can be associated with diseased teeth and gums.
Geriatric Exams
Pets older than 6 years of age can develop many types of health problems and diseases without the owner’s knowledge. We can perform screening blood tests, x-rays and other services to define your older pets needs.
