Wellness Care

We take the health of your pet seriously because we know they’re an important part of your family. That’s why we highly recommend bringing them in for a yearly wellness exam. Our team will be on the lookout for any potential health issues that could affect your pet down the road. If you’re in the Jackson area, come see how we can help keep your pet in tip-top shape.

 

Think of a wellness exam as a regular checkup for your pet. We suggest bringing them in at least once a year, but depending on their age and condition, they may need more frequent visits. During their annual checkup, we’ll make sure they’re up-to-date on all their shots, check for heartworms, tooth decay, and any new lumps or bumps that may have popped up since their last visit.

 

When it comes to a wellness exam, we leave no stone unturned. We’ll carefully examine your pet’s eyes, ears, teeth, and gums, keeping an eye out for any unusual growths, signs of inflammation, or infection. Our veterinary care equipment allows us to see beneath the surface and identify any emerging issues. We also pay close attention to your pet’s weight, especially for those breeds prone to obesity. Carrying extra weight can put them at risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and joint problems. Don’t worry; we’ve got your back!

Prevention is better than cure, right? That’s why we offer several preventive measures during the wellness exam to keep your pet in top shape. From vaccinations to protect against diseases, parasite prevention medication to fend off those pesky fleas and ticks, microchipping to ensure their safe return if they ever get lost, to spaying or neutering to prevent accidental reproducing. If your pet needs any surgical procedures, we’ll schedule them for a later date. But hey, microchipping, parasite prevention, and immunizations can be taken care of during the exam if needed.
