Regular medical care is the best gift you can give your pet.

Wellness care helps ensure that your pet stays as healthy as possible, avoids illness, and enjoys a comfortable life. This care includes annual physical examinations and timely laboratory screening tests.

​

For adult pets under 7 years of age, wellness appointments are recommended at least once a year. These appointments include:
✘ A discussion of your pet's medical history
✘ A thorough physical exam
✘ Screening for intestinal and blood parasites
✘ Blood screening for early diagnosis of internal issues
✘ Vaccines tailored to your pet's lifestyle, health, and environment

​

Additionally, we will discuss the need for tick, heartworm, and other parasite prevention for your pet.

One of our sayings is "Senior at Seven!" For pets aged 7 years and older, wellness appointments are necessary at least twice a year, along with appropriate laboratory screening tests for seniors. Many common age-related conditions can be treated effectively if detected early, minimizing irreversible bodily damage. To protect your pet's health and that of your family, routine laboratory assessments include screening for intestinal parasites in pets of all ages, including indoor-only pets.

​

Furthermore, regular comprehensive laboratory tests are essential to detect changes that may indicate abnormalities in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, thyroid, and other organs. Many problems can be successfully managed if identified early, before your pet shows external signs of disease.

​

An essential part of your pet's wellness care is their individual medical history. This information helps our doctors understand how your pet is feeling and how they interact with you at home. Please feel free to ask any questions or raise any concerns about your pet during the appointment.

​

Laboratory screenings, vaccinations, and parasite prevention plans are customized to the specific needs of your pet. Recommendations consider:
✘ Pet's age
✘ General health
✘ Prior vaccinations
✘ Living environment
✘ Travel history
✘ Other risk factors

​

To help protect your pet and your family, year-round prevention is necessary for heartworm and intestinal parasites. Flea and tick prevention is also required throughout the year. In Wisconsin, deer ticks can be active and biting when the temperature is 30 degrees or above. With fluctuating winter seasons, it's crucial to protect your pet.

Our staff will notify you when vaccine boosters and laboratory screenings are due. We will send you a postcard or email reminder when your pet is due for their wellness care.
