PHYSICAL EXAMS
Regular physical exams are an important part of your pet’s overall health and wellness. These exams help us monitor changes over time and detect illness early. Depending on the age of your animal companion, we recommend different preventive treatments for cats and dogs. For all pets, we individualize exams depending on the age and lifestyle of your pet, allowing us to provide your pet with the high-quality care he or she deserves.

PARASITE PROTECTION
Common pests, such as fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites can put your pet at risk for serious illness. To protect your pet against these illnesses, we offer individualized parasite protection programs that are based on the specific needs of your pet, as well as his or her home environment. Some of these parasites are zoonotic (can be transmitted to people) and dangerous. We follow the recommendations of the Companion Animal Parasite Council.
Our protection programs often include year-round:
• Flea and tick prevention
• Heartworm medication
• Education on pest prevention
• Intestinal parasite management
