Annual Wellness Exam
Yearly evaluations of your pet's condition and overall health are recommended. These annual check-ups include a complete physical examination, vaccination boosters, heartworm and fecal tests, and discussion of flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. As a crucial part of your pet's continued health, his/her dietary needs may also be assessed.
Dietary Counseling
Nutrition is key to maintaining good health and may be an important part of your pet's prescribed treatment. We carry a large selection of veterinary diets including Purina, Eukanuba, and Science Diet. Most diets are in-stock. We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, and performance.
Obesity
Obesity in animals can cause a variety of health problems including heart complications, diabetes, knee and joint problems, among others. We have a new weight-loss plan to effectively restore your pet to his/her ideal weight and significantly reduce the risk of severe health issues to your pet. The weight-loss plan includes and diet program aided by a medication called Slentrol. Your pet's progress and condition will be carefully monitored throughout the program.
Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention
The easiest and most effective way to protect your pet year-round from parasites is to use a topical medicine to kill and prevent fleas and ticks, and an oral medication to prevent heartworm and internal parasites such as roundworms and hookworms. The most popular flea and tick medications that we carry are Advantage, Advantix, and Frontline. Iverheart is the brand of heartworm medication that we dispense by prescription only. It is important to remember that while flea and tick medication can be dispensed without an examination or prescription, heartworm medication is by prescription and an annual physical examination as well as a heartworm test are recommended before using the Iverheart medication.
