FAQs
Preventative care should begin as early as possible, ideally when your pet is a puppy or kitten. Early care sets the foundation for a healthy life and helps catch potential issues before they become serious.
We recommend at least one veterinary check-up per year for healthy adult pets, with more frequent visits for puppies, kittens, senior pets, or those with health concerns. Regular check-ups help monitor your pet’s health and catch any problems early.
Preventative care is an investment in your pet’s long-term health and can help avoid costly treatments for diseases down the line. Our team will work with you to find affordable options that fit your budget and your pet’s needs.
Indoor pets are still susceptible to parasites and disease but the risk is greatly reduced. We recommend discussing your concerns with our veterinarians and tailoring a preventative care program for your pets individual needs.
