Preventative Pet Care Throughout Weddington, NC

Comprehensive Physical Exams

Like humans, we recommend each pet receives a physical exam at least once annually to screen for potential diseases and ensure they are living their best lives. The doctor will examine your pet from nose to tail and ask questions about their environment, lifestyle, and address any health or dietary concerns. Pets age at a more progressive rate than humans do, making their annual examinations even more important! As pets age, we may recommend that they are seen more frequently, such as twice a year. This allows us to catch any concerns early, hopefully before they become health problems.

Oral Exams

Each visit to the clinic allows an opportunity to perform an oral examination. Like humans, pets can develop dental disease that can affect their ability to chew and digest food. Additionally, since pets cannot brush their teeth, the buildup of bacteria and tartar within the mouth can actually lead to more disease potential – such as infected or broken teeth, kidney disease, or even heart disease! Catching any dental disease early and introducing prevention such as brushing and routine dental cleanings can help improve your pet’s quality and longevity of life.

Immunizations

Nutritional Counseling

Specialized Blood Testing

Just like in humans, we strongly recommend annual bloodwork for your pet to screen their white blood cells and red blood cells, as well as organ assessment such as liver and kidney function. In younger pets, we are able to assess bloodwork, such as before surgery, to establish a good foundation and ensure adequate health, as well as identify potential diseases before they become an issue. As your pet gets older, annual screening bloodwork can help us identify diseases such as cancer or metabolic diseases before they become severe.
