Wellness
At Animal General, we strongly encourage you to schedule annual health checks so that we can perform routine wellness exams. Regular nose to tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. We provide the most up-to-date patient care, with an emphasis on client education, to keep your pet companions feeling their best.
Wellness exams give us an opportunity to evaluate the overall health of your pet. During a wellness exam, we will take your pet’s vital signs, perform a thorough examination, and may perform diagnostic tests such as blood work, urinalysis, or intestinal parasite tests. We measure these values when your pet is well in order to provide better care should they become ill or have an emergency.
We are committed to providing personal attention to the unique concerns of each individual pet owner. We will develop wellness programs for the specific needs of your pet regarding necessary vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and the best method to control fleas and ticks in your house, your yard, and on your pet. We will provide guidance for your pet’s nutritional needs for each life stage as well as dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, and performance.
We will discuss in detail what your options are to help you make the best possible health decisions for your pet. We can spay or neuter your pet at the appropriate age, not just to prevent unwanted litters, but to lessen the development of cancer in both genders of dogs and cats.
At Animal General, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment.The time and effort invested in our wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners alike. Whether your pet is a puppy or a kitten, young adult, or senior, come see us at Animal General for your pet health care needs. We would love to partner with you in helping your pet live a long, happy, and healthy life.
