Let’s take a look at what you should know about bringing your new family member home.
Preventive care
Laying the foundation for a healthy lifestyle is key to a long and healthy life with your new companion.
It all starts with preventive care, which checks your animal for any health conditions through an initial examination.
Your veterinarian will recommend how often you bring your pet in, prescribe preventive medication, like flea & tick meds.

This is especially important for puppies and kittens, who are susceptible to illness.
Spaying and Neutering

Not only will it stop unnecessary breeding, but it will keep your animal from conceiving & reproducing as a family pet.

Dental care
Many pet owners forget that their animals need dental care, too.
If your pet breaks or chips a tooth, it can be just as painful as if it were you.
Preventive dental care is also important to prevent plaque buildup and decay over time.
Microchipping
Altho ugh t his ma y be a ddre s se d a t y ou r pe t ’s fi rs t v is it o r pre v e nt iv e c are v isi ts, y o u c an ge t y ou r pe t micro c hi ppe d at a ny t i me .
In microchipping a chip is placed in between the pet’s shoulder blades, so if they ever get out they can be traced back to their owner.
The veterinarian enters the owner’s information into a database that can be accessed by veterinarians across the country.
Nutritional counseling
We understand how important it is for you to have your pet around long-term.
So we can work with clients to provide nutritional counseling for pets that may be overweight.
Extra fat can lead to additional health problems for your pet, so following a proper diet is key to avoiding additional health issues.
It can be helpful for senior dogs, who have their own special needs.
