Puppy & Kitten Care: Start Your New Companion Off Right

Welcoming a new pet? We’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our puppy and kitten wellness programs include a series of visits for vaccinations, deworming, and early development checkups. We’ll also talk you through spaying/neutering, microchipping, and setting your new pet up with the best possible start in life—socially, nutritionally, and medically.

Adult Pet Wellness: Stay a Step Ahead of Illness

Between 1 and 7 years of age, pets are in their prime—but that doesn’t mean they don’t need regular care. Annual wellness exams help us monitor their health, administer timely boosters, and continue year-round parasite prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Routine screenings like bloodwork can detect early changes and help us tailor care before symptoms arise.

Senior Pet Wellness: Gentle Care for Golden Years

Once your pet reaches age 7 (or earlier for some large breeds), they officially enter their golden years. Senior wellness visits include a deeper look into their overall health, with more frequent checkups and baseline lab testing to evaluate organ function, thyroid levels, and more. We’ll help you manage age-related changes like arthritis, weight shifts, or behavior changes with empathy and expertise.
