Puppy & Kitten Care
Our comprehensive puppy and kitten care program ensures proper development through early vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling. We emphasize socialization training and provide detailed guidance for new pet owners. The service includes initial health assessments and customized care plans to support optimal growth during critical developmental stages.
Vaccinations
We offer core and non-core vaccination protocols tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our program follows AAHA guidelines with rabies, distemper, and parvovirus vaccines for dogs, and panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus vaccines for cats. We provide detailed vaccination records and schedule reminders through our mobile app.
Parasite Prevention
Our parasite prevention program protects pets from fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal parasites. We offer customized prevention plans using safe, effective products and conduct regular fecal testing. The service includes education about environmental control measures and zoonotic disease prevention for family safety.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized senior pet evaluations detect age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and diabetes. We provide tailored wellness plans including dietary recommendations, mobility support, and chronic condition management. The service emphasizes early detection through regular bloodwork and diagnostic testing for improved quality of life.
Cancer Screening
We offer advanced cancer screening using the Nu.Q Canine Cancer Screening blood test for early detection. This service identifies circulating nucleosomes associated with various cancers in dogs. We provide comprehensive diagnostic follow-up and collaborate with specialists to develop treatment plans when abnormalities are detected.
