Personalized & Comprehensive Care for Dogs & Cats
At Oak Hills Animal Hospital, our experienced team of veterinarians and staff have been providing exceptional care for dogs and cats for many years. We believe in preventative medicine and the importance of regular wellness exams for your furry friends. Our staff offers various services to keep your pets healthy and happy, including vaccinations, parasite prevention, and routine bloodwork. In addition, we provide comprehensive care for sick patients and are equipped to handle emergencies during our regular business hours.
Wellness Exams
At our veterinary clinic, we believe that prevention is the best medicine for your furry friends. That's why we recommend regular wellness exams for all dogs and cats, regardless of their age or health status. These exams are essential to maintaining your pet's health and well-being, as they allow us to detect and treat any potential health issues before they become serious problems.
For patients under 8 years of age, we recommend a complete physical exam once a year. During this exam, our veterinarians will examine your pet from nose to tail, checking for any signs of illness, injury, or disease. We'll also discuss your pet's diet, exercise routine, and any behavioral concerns you may have. This is also an excellent opportunity to update your pet's vaccinations and parasite prevention.
For patients over 8 years of age, we recommend a complete physical exam twice a year, along with screening bloodwork once a year. As pets age, their risk of developing certain health conditions increases, such as arthritis, diabetes, and kidney disease. Regular exams and bloodwork allow us to catch these conditions early when they are most treatable. We may also recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or ultrasounds, to evaluate your pet's internal organs and identify any potential issues.
Preventative Medicine
Regular wellness exams are essential to maintaining the health and happiness of your furry friend. These exams are designed to catch any potential health issues early on so that we can provide prompt treatment and prevent more serious problems from developing.
- One important aspect of wellness exams is vaccination. Vaccinations are crucial for protecting your pet from a variety of diseases, some of which can be fatal. Our veterinarians will recommend a vaccination schedule tailored to your pet's specific needs, age, and lifestyle.
- Flea and tick prevention is another important aspect of pet wellness. These pesky parasites can cause various health problems, from skin irritation to severe illnesses like Lyme disease. Our veterinarians can recommend a variety of preventative measures to keep your pet safe and healthy.
- Heartworm prevention is also an essential part of pet wellness. Heartworms are a serious, potentially fatal condition that can be transmitted by mosquitoes. Our veterinarians can recommend various preventative measures, including medication, to protect your pet.
- Finally, parasite prevention is an important aspect of pet wellness. Parasites such as roundworms and hookworms can cause serious health problems for your pet and even be transmitted to humans. Our veterinarians can recommend a variety of preventative measures, including medication and regular fecal testing, to keep your pet healthy and parasite-free.
