Stop issues before they start

Wellness care is very important to prevent and detect underlying disease. Regular health uations such as exams, blood and urine uation, and intestinal parasite testing allow us to establish a baseline for your pet and identify issues before they become bigger medical and financial concerns. During wellness visits, which we recommend twice a year, we will provide you with information regarding nutrition, behavior, monthly parasite prevention, and at-home dental care. Vaccine recommendations will also be made based upon your pet’s lifestyle and exposure to various diseases.

Vaccinations

Did you know?

  • 30,000-60,000 people per year have to go through treatment due to exposure to unvaccinated animals
  • All dogs need three core vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper-Parvo, Bordetella)
  • We also offer Lepto, Lyme, Influenza, and rattlesnake vaccines
  • All cats need FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations
  • We also offer Feline Leukemia vaccines
  • Pets seldom feel their vaccines because they are distracted by the amount of attention and love they are getting from hospital staff

Flea, Tick and Heartworm Prevention

Did you know?

  • All pets, including indoor pets, need to be on monthly heartworm preventative
  • Heartworm is spread via mosquitos, which can come inside
  • Pets can pass certain diseases on to people; monthly preventatives help protect them and the family they live with
  • Southern California has year-round flea weather, so it is important pets receive prevention year round
  • Ticks carry life-threatening diseases, and can be difficult to detect

Several of my dogs have significant other issues that put them at increased risk for anesthesia — and yet their teeth have to be cleaned. While I may anxiously wait for the text or call that lets me know everything went well, I know they are getting expert and attentive care.
