Wellness Care

Vaccines are tailored to your cat’s age, lifestyle, and risk exposure—especially if they go outdoors or live in multi-pet homes. Here’s a general guideline for vaccine recommendations:

We’ll work with you to determine the right vaccines for your cat based on their environment, lifestyle, and medical history.

Welcoming a new kitten? The first few months are full of learning, growing, and cuddles—but also important medical care. Our kitten wellness care helps lay the groundwork for lifelong health by combining expert veterinary support with education and early protection.

During your kitten’s visits, we’ll cover:

• Nutrition and feeding guidance.
• Litter box training and behavioral advice.
• Socialization and stress-reducing tips.
• Parasite testing and deworming.
• Custom vaccine schedule based on lifestyle and risk.

Kittens are vulnerable to parasites and contagious diseases, many of which are preventable through timely vaccination. Some parasites can also be transmitted to people (zoonotic), so early treatment helps protect your whole household.

We recommend scheduling your kitten’s first exam as soon as possible so we can begin vaccinations and care right away.

Even if your adult cat seems healthy, annual wellness exams are vital. Cats are naturally stoic and can hide signs of illness until a condition is advanced. With routine checkups, we can catch issues early and keep your cat’s care up to date.

During an adult cat wellness visit, we’ll:

• Perform a full physical exam from nose to tail
• Track changes in weight, dental health, skin, and behavior
• Administer core and lifestyle-appropriate vaccines
• Test for parasites, heartworm (if applicable), and other concerns
• Discuss diet, exercise, and enrichment tailored to your cat’s needs

We may also recommend baseline bloodwork and dental care, depending on your cat’s health and age. Our goal is to keep your cat feeling their best and prevent issues before they start.

Cats are considered seniors around 8 years of age, though some may experience age-related changes sooner. Our senior wellness services provide extra care, more frequent checkups, and deeper insight into how your cat is aging—so we can act quickly if something’s not right.

With senior cats, we focus on:

• Detecting early signs of chronic illness (like kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or arthritis).
• Monitoring for cognitive changes or mobility decline.
• Managing pain, nutrition, and weight more closely.
• Conducting routine lab work (blood, urine, fecal testing) every 6–12 months.
• Supporting comfort and quality of life through every season.

We’ll start with a baseline exam and diagnostics so we can track any changes over time. And if you’ve noticed any shifts in behavior, appetite, or mobility, let us know—early intervention makes a big difference.

Vaccinations are a key part of preventive care. Based on your dog’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors, we’ll create a vaccine schedule that keeps them safe and protected.

Not sure which vaccines your dog needs? We’ll discuss your dog’s environment, travel, social exposure, and overall health to make recommendations tailored to their lifestyle.

The first few months of your puppy’s life are full of growth, learning, and exploration. Our puppy wellness program is designed to support this critical development phase and help your puppy build a healthy foundation for life.

During your puppy’s wellness visits, we’ll guide you through:

• Nutrition, training, and behavior tips.
• Socialization and enrichment.
• Parasite prevention and deworming.
• A customized vaccination schedule.
• General health screenings.

Puppies are especially vulnerable to parasites and diseases, so timely vaccinations and parasite control are essential—not only for your pup’s safety but for your family’s health too. Many intestinal parasites are zoonotic, meaning they can be passed from pets to people.

We recommend bringing your puppy in for their first exam as soon as possible. The earlier we begin care, the better we can protect your pup’s health.

As your puppy grows into adulthood, routine veterinary care becomes just as important. Dogs are experts at hiding signs of illness, which means annual exams help us spot subtle changes early—before they develop into something more serious.

During your adult dog’s annual wellness visit, we’ll:

• Perform a full nose-to-tail physical exam.
• Evaluate weight, mobility, skin, coat, and dental health.
• Update vaccines and parasite prevention.
• Run diagnostic screenings as needed (bloodwork, fecal, urine).
• Offer lifestyle guidance on diet, activity, and behavior.

We’ll also monitor for early signs of chronic conditions like arthritis, allergies, diabetes, or heart disease—conditions that are more manageable with early intervention.

As dogs age, their needs evolve. Our senior wellness care helps you navigate your dog’s golden years with confidence and compassion. Smaller dogs are generally considered seniors around 7 years old; larger breeds may reach senior status sooner.

Senior dogs benefit from more frequent exams (every 6 months) so we can:

• Detect age-related changes early.
• Manage chronic conditions like joint pain or kidney disease.
• Monitor for signs of cognitive decline.
• Customize nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations.
• Provide supportive therapies to improve comfort and quality of life.

We’ll also conduct baseline diagnostic testing to track changes over time and tailor care to your dog’s unique needs.
