Preventive Care
 Preventive care is the first step to a long, healthy and happy life for your pet. Yearly examinations, vaccinations, parasitic prevention and surgical neutering are the best line of defense against disease and health issues.
We use and recommend Pfizer vaccinations and quality products such as Heartgard Plus, Revolution, Advantage and Frontline Plus to ensure continued health for your dog or cat.
Below are guidelines to your pet’s care, according to age, to help you determine when to schedule exams and what can be expected at the exam. Call our friendly customer service staff to schedule your pet's exam today!
