Comprehensive Wellness Exams & Preventive Care
At The Animal Doctors, we believe that preventive pet care is the foundation for a long and healthy life. Bringing your pet in for regular checkups will help protect him or her from many of the common ailments that can affect companion animals, or at least delay their onset and progression. You’ll also give us the opportunity to identify and address potential health problems early, before they become life-threatening. These simple things can add years to your pet’s life.
There are many vaccinations available for dogs and cats. Our well-educated doctors and staff will help you decide what is the best recommendation for your pet’s lifestyle. Not every pet needs every vaccination, and as pets age the recommendations may change. Our goal is to give you the best advice to keep your pet protected and healthy.
Beginning with a puppy and kitten care consultation, we offer extended visits with our knowledgeable staff to help you understand a young animal's needs. We teach low-stress handling skills to make the visits fun for your little ones!
