Vaccines
Vaccines are an important part of preventative care to ensure your dog's protection from infectious diseases. Core vaccines include Rabies and DA2PP (commonly referred to as Distemper).
Our veterinarian will recommend additional vaccines, such as Leptospirosis, Lyme, and Bordetella, based on your dog's risk of exposure, lifestyle, and overall health.
Diagnostic Testing
Diagnostic testing is recommended to be performed yearly to screen for Heartworm disease and intestinal parasites. In addition, blood panels are performed to screen for early detection of internal diseases.
Parasite Control
Parasite control is an essential part of preventative care. This includes prevention for heartworm, fleas and ticks, and intestinal parasites (such as roundworms). Controlling parasites not only helps protect your dog but you and your family too.
Other services offered include dental care and microchipping which are beneficial to your dog's overall health and well-being. We are happy to advise you on any questions you might have regarding your dog's health.
