Wellness Programs

Puppy & Kitten Plans offer the newest member of your family a complete immunization program to cover the first six months of life. This plan includes physical exams, a fecal test and parasite check, and all necessary vaccines to get your puppy and kitten off to a healthy start in life! Your puppy's and/or kitten's first dose of flea and tick prevention is included and your puppy's first dose of heartworm is also included.

Health Screen is designed to keep your pet well by providing an annual exam and laboratory tests for your pet's first six years. Pets up to age six and older are eligible to participate. All of your pet's yearly immunizations are included at no charge.

Twice a Year for Life is a wellness profile intended to improve your pet's quality of life and increase life span. It is designed specifically for mature pets ages seven years and older. The program enables us to track your pet's health so when problems of aging occur, we can monitor your pet and diagnose potential life-threatening problems earlier when they can be more easily treated. The plan includes two wellness visits annually. The initial visit covers a physical exam, complete blood profile, urine and fecal screens, an eye pressure test, a chest x-ray, and an ECG. Immunizations are included at no charge. The second visit, six months later, includes a physical exam and additional blood tests to recheck for diabetes, and liver/kidney function.

Hospitalization

Although we know that recovery from an illness or injury is best done at home, often times a sick pet requires hospitalization. While we try to make your pet's hospital stay as short as possible, our facility provides your pet a comfortable, state-of-the-art environment in which to recover. Whether your pet requires time in our intensive/critical care unit, or simply a daytime stay in our hospital while recovering from surgery, an attentive and caring member of our veterinary team will be assigned to monitor and care for all of your pet's needs. Our special cat ward ensures that our feline patients are kept in a comfortable and quiet setting. We also maintain an infectious disease area to ensure that contagious patients are kept in isolation for their own benefit as well as for the benefit of others. To help you through the difficulties of having a sick or injured pet, our doctors and veterinary technicians are available to answer your questions and will remain in contact with you to keep you informed of your pet's progress.

Telemedicine (specialist consultation)

In certain cases, we may recomend a consultation about your pet's condition with a specialist. Our telemedicine technology allows our doctors access to board-certified veterinary specialists via the internet. Your pet's images from our digital x-ray system, ultrasound equipment and results from our in-house clinical laboratory can be transmitted to these specialists and their evaluation rapidly returned to us.
