SERVICES:

New puppy/kitten exam. Your new family member’s comprehensive physical exam will check for underlying disease, parasites (please bring a fecal sample), and other issues. Puppies and kittens will be started on heartworm preventative, and kittens will typically be tested for feline leukemia and immunodeficiency virus. We encourage first-time pet owners, as well as seasoned pet owners, to bring a list of questions so that we may thoroughly discuss any nutritional, behavior, training, and health concerns.

Behavior counseling. Unacceptable behavior tops the list of reasons that pets are abandoned and euthanized, a statistic that could be avoided with proper attention. Our doctors can help with difficult behaviors including phobias, inappropriate urination, unruly and destructive behaviors, aggression, and other problems. Treatment may include behavior modification, desensitization, pharmaceuticals or referral to a board-certified veterinary behaviorist.

Annual exam. The annual exam for a pet is roughly equivalent to a human having a physical every four years, so we strongly recommend seeing your pet at least once a year. In addition to a thorough, head-to-paw physical check-up, the exam includes attention to general health, behavior, nutrition, and age-appropriate tests and vaccinations, including testing for intestinal parasites and, for dogs, heartworm.
