Your pet can benefit greatly from regular wellness examinations or checkups. Whether a youngster, a "senior citizen, " or any age in between, wellness examinations provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet. This information will help us identify medical problems and any other issues that can affect your pet's health and quality of life.

Many vaccines are available for use in dogs, but not every pet needs every available vaccine. We utilize the guidelines set forth by the AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) and AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners) as we consider your pet's vaccines.

Some vaccines are considered core vaccines and should be administered to all pets, whereas other vaccines are optional and may be recommended for pets based on a variety of factors, such as their risk for exposure to disease.Vaccine recommendations can also change throughout a pet's life, as travel habits and other variables change.

Does your best friend have bad breath? Despite what many pet owners may believe, "dog breath" is not just a nuisance - it's a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria lead to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet's teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease.
