for small companion and exotic animals. The veterinarians have
diverse training and experience ranging from dogs, cats, and
pocket pets, to birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
PREVENTIVE HEALTH CARE FOR YOUR CANINE OR FELINE
Preventive health care
is essential to the continued health of your pet. Many of our
sick bundles of love could have avoided their suffering through
an adequate prevention program. Timely and appropriate vaccines,
a proper diet, and prophylactic dental care are some important
examples of disease prevention. Along with the knowledge that
you are giving your pet adequate preventative care, you will
find that the costs for prevention are much smaller than the
cost for treatment. To provide this type of care, our staff
veterinarians recommend the following:
- Regular physical
exams.
- Proper
vaccinations, starting at 6-8 weeks of age for dogs and
cats.
- Quality nutrition
as recommended by our veterinarians and technicians.
- Parasite
prevention, including intestinal parasites, heartworm,
fleas, and ticks.
Dental care
including routine exams, in-hospital teeth cleaning, and home
dental brushing.
PRESCRIPTION REFILLS
Our responsibility in
dispensing veterinary pharmaceuticals is the same as in
dispensing human prescriptions. Therefore we ask that is you
need a refill on medication that your veterinarian has
prescribed for your pet in the past, please call 24 hours in
advance. Prescription refills must be approved by one of our
veterinarians and then filled by qualified personnel. To ensure
that your pet continues to be on the correct dose or is not
having underlying side effects from long-term medications,
re-examinations and periodic laboratory tests may need to be
performed.
