Overview

Care that starts before the symptoms do.

Wellness and preventive care is the foundation of every other service we provide. Annual exams catch issues before they become serious; vaccines and parasite prevention keep them out entirely.

We tailor each visit to your animal’s age, breed, lifestyle, and history — no boilerplate care plans. Your doctor knows your pet, remembers them year over year, and explains every decision.

The promise: longer, healthier years for your pet, fewer surprises for you, and a relationship with our team that lasts a lifetime.

Who this is for

What's Included

Everything we cover in this service

Each visit is tailored to your animal’s needs, but here’s the full scope of what we routinely offer.

The annual wellness exam is the linchpin

It’s the visit where we catch issues early, update vaccines, check weight, dental health, and have an unhurried conversation about your animal’s life. Skip nothing.

Vaccinations & boosters

Core vaccines — Dogs: rabies, distemper/parvo, and lepto. Cats: rabies, FVRCP, and FeLV for the kitten series. Plus lifestyle vaccines based on your pet’s exposure risk.

Heartworm & flea/tick prevention

Year-round monthly preventatives we trust.

Nutrition counseling

Diet plans for age, breed, weight, and conditions.

Dental health check

Oral exam at every wellness visit.

Senior wellness screening

More frequent bloodwork after age 7.

Our team is happy to help by phone during business hours, or you can request an appointment online any time.

For most healthy adult dogs and cats, once a year. Senior pets (age 7+) benefit from every 6 months. Puppies and kittens need more frequent visits during their first year for vaccinations and growth checks.

Dogs: rabies, distemper/parvo, and lepto. Cats: rabies, FVRCP, and FeLV for the kitten series. Lifestyle vaccines (like Lyme or bordetella) depend on exposure — we’ll recommend what’s right for your pet.

Typically 45 minutes from check-in to walk-out. We don’t double-book — your time with the doctor is yours.

Yes. We work with all major pet-insurance providers (you pay us, then file with your insurer). We also accept CareCredit for in-clinic financing.

If your pet gets sick between visits, call us right away — if possible, we’ll fit you in the same day. After-hours, see our Emergency page for vetted facilities.
