Adult Dog And Cat Care

View our puppy and kitten wellness program for an overview of the various vaccinations and preventives available for your pet. Every adult dog and cat receives a wellness plan tailored to the unique needs of the pet and their family. This customized approach to care prevents your pet from receiving more vaccines than absolutely necessary for health and long life.

Our veterinarians give your pet a comprehensive physical examination at each visit, a complete check of your animal from head to tail. Learn more about our pet wellness exam.

At the annual exam, we may perform specific diagnostic tests such as blood work and other laboratory tests, obtaining baseline values for your healthy pet.

Three common diagnostic lab tests performed at the wellness exam are:

• CBC (complete blood count): Measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in a sample; these numbers give us information to help diagnose infections, anemia, and leukemia.
• Chemistry panel: Measures electrolytes, enzymes, and chemical elements such as calcium and phosphorous levels; these measurements help determine how the animal’s organs (kidneys, pancreas and liver) are functioning.
• Urinalysis: Testing of the urine helps detect the presence of notable substances such as protein, sugar, white blood cells, or blood; the concentration of urine can also indicate a possible illness. Urinalysis helps diagnose urinary-tract infections, diabetes, dehydration, kidney problems, and more.

Then, if your pet should get sick, we compare new lab work to the previous baseline values to determine the exact level of abnormality.

If your pet exhibits symptoms of a developing problem, we may use other diagnostic technology to determine the cause and address it at once. Our comprehensive approach to wellness is designed to keep your dog and cat vigorous and fit throughout their adult lives.
