Routine physical exams are great for checking your pet’s heart, lungs, eyes, and ears, but what about their internal health?

Annual blood panels help us assess internal health including liver and kidney function, metabolic disease, and blood counts. Diagnostic tests provide valuable insight into changes in their health over time and allow us to identify illnesses early which can lead to faster treatment and often a better prognosis

💉 Schedule your pet’s wellness exam with us so we can run blood panels and help keep your pet healthy as can be!

With the holiday season in full effect, we know that there may be treats on your pet’s wish list. We also know that you are likely tired of the toothbrushing battle. Which is why we recommend dental treats!
Dental treats are a great way to reduce the severity of periodontal disease. We urge our pet parents to look for the VOHC Seal of Acceptance and to avoid hard treats such as synthetic or natural bones.

The American Animal Hospital Association has now recognized Leptospirosis as a "Core Vaccine" for canines. "Core Vaccinations" are considered requirements for pets based on AAHA's guidelines and research. Other Core Vaccinations include Canine Distemper/Parvovirus/Adenovirus/Parainfluenza and Rabies.

Leptospirosis is zoonotic, meaning this bacteria can actually transfer from animals to humans. This vaccine is available at our hospital and our staff would be more than happy to give more information on the disease.

Please read the following articles that dive a bit deeper into Leptospirosis and what exactly this bacteria inflicts:

The holiday season is now in full swing, which brings excitement, but for male cats, it can also bring extra stress—and with it, a higher risk of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD).

If your cat seems to be urinating more frequently, straining, or showing signs of discomfort, it could be a sign of FLUTD.
Simple steps like creating a quiet, cozy space or using pheromone sprays, can help reduce stress.

Our clinic is here to help! We can provide a thorough review of your cat’s health and offer guidance on environmental changes to keep them calm. Contact us today!
