Your pet may need to make lifestyle changes as they age to stay happy and healthy, and we're here to help you with those decisions. The changes may include dietary changes or medication to help manage chronic conditions. Senior wellness exams every 6 months and more frequent lab work are often beneficial for our older patients. Our veterinarians will tell you when your pet should begin having biannual exams and bloodwork, as this depends on your pet’s health, species, and breed.

It is common for pets to experience mild side effects after receiving a vaccine. Mild lethargy, pain at the injection sites, and inappetence are common side effects following vaccination in cats and dogs. These symptoms are not cause for concern unless they are severe or last for more than a day or two. Signs of a vaccine reaction include the development of itchy bumps or hives, swelling of the face (lip and/or eyelid margins), or respiratory distress. Seek veterinary care immediately if any of these signs develop. If your pet exhibits any other symptoms about which you are concerned, please call us for recommendations 614-833-0011.

Did you know that today is "Check your Chip" Day? A pet microchip is a small, electronic chip about the size of a grain of rice implanted under the skin. If your pet becomes lost, a rescue organization, animal control officer, or veterinary hospital equipped with a universal scanner can scan your pet for a microchip. In order to reunite you with your pet, your pet’s unique microchip number is then used to retrieve your contact information from the national pet recovery database. The chances of reuniting pets with their families are significantly higher when they have microchip identification. Call us and we can schedule an appointment for your pet's safety 614-833-0011
