We recommend yearly wellness exams for young, healthy pets and possibly every 6 months for geriatric pets. Puppies and kittens require frequent visits for the first 4 months to keep their vaccine schedule on track and to keep a close eye on their growth.

Wellness visits are the most important part of preventative care for your pet.  This gives us the opportunity to look for anything new or undetected that has appeared in the last year, and keeps your pet healthy for the year ahead!  If your pet is on a long term medication or prescription diet, we will require an up-to-date wellness exam to continue filling that prescription.

During your pet’s wellness exam the doctor will perform a full physical exam to evaluate your pet for any changes from the past year.  Any vaccines that are due will be given at this time, along with any preventative bloodwork or heartworm test.  The doctor will discuss preventative care along with possible dental care that may be needed.  Click here for more information.

Our pets are very stoic and very good at hiding pain or possible illness (especially cats).  It is important to look for any changes in normal behavior such as changes in appetite, energy, behavior going outside or litterbox usage, and more.  You know your pet more than anyone, and if you are concerned enough to call your veterinarian, an exam is warranted to give your pet what they need! 

Pet Kare Clinic is available for emergency if needed, a doctor is always on call. Never hesitate to call if you feel there is something wrong with your pet. 

We perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork to help detect any underlying disease or sudden changes that can affect their response to anesthesia.  Our patients are monitored closely for any procedure major or minor and we take every precaution to make sure your pet comes out of their procedure straight into a smooth recovery. 

The care and comfort of your pet comes first. We will utilize an individual pain management protocol prior to and after any surgical procedure for your pet, along with constant monitoring and making sure they are warm and comfortable. 

A drop-off appointment or urgent visit is based on a wide range of possible injuries or illnesses that your pet may experience. We triage our dropped off patients by severity of injury/illness but know your pet will be taken care of and seen right away by a technician.

Your pet will have a comfortable bed set up, water available, a clean litterbox or walks outside, not to mention loads of love and sweet talk. Click here for more information
