Your Pet’s Annual Visit

We recommend bringing your pet in once a year for a full wellness exam. This check-up may include vaccinations, parasite screenings, dental evaluations, and any preventive care tailored to your pet’s age and health status. Our team examines every pet head to tail to keep them healthy and thriving.

What to Bring

If you have your pet’s medical records or a health journal, please bring them along. Noting changes in behavior, appetite, or routine can help our team understand your pet’s needs. But don’t worry—if you don’t have documentation, we’ll still provide thorough care based on the information you can share.
