Pet Wellness Care

The Best Medicine Is Preventative Medicine

Pet wellness care is the most important thing we do. Regular vet visits are the best way to keep your pet healthy and happy for many years to come.

There’s no magic formula for a long, happy life—keeping up with comprehensive wellness care is your best bet.

Know Your Pet Inside and Out

Getting to know your pet when he or she is healthy is key. Through regular wellness visits, your Fear Free vet team gains essential familiarity and knowledge to help us provide the best care for your pet’s whole life.

Our wellness plans cover a majority of Eno services, including check-ups, core vaccines, and annual lab work. Save money and provide the best care for your fur baby.

The most important part of any visit is the complete pet wellness exam. During this “nose-to-tail” time, your veterinarian will expertly access your pet’s eyes, ears, teeth, mouth, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, stomach, intestines, joints, spine, skin, paws, and more.

Wellness visits are also when we update vaccinations, perform essential lab work, and discuss anything and everything that supports the long-term health and happiness of your fur baby.

We want to know your unique pet’s “normal” health baseline and behaviors, plus catch any issues early. Preventing health problems is much easier and less expensive than treating them.

Test Early and Often

Wellness blood work shows us what’s going on with your pet’s internal organs and systems.

We recommend it early, as young as a few years, to establish that all-important “normal” baseline for your pet. Then we can track even minor changes to get ahead of health problems with diet or medication.

A young wellness panel includes liver and kidney values, glucose levels, red and white blood cells, protein, electrolytes, and more.

We also need to test your pet for heartworms every year in order to prescribe life-saving parasite prevention. Protection against fleas, ticks, gross intestinal worms, and deadly heartworms is key year-round.

Step Up Your Senior Care

Age is not a disease! Our vets are honored to treat senior pets. It’s a blessing to know and help fur babies for all the many years of their lives.

Once your pet reaches senior status, twice-yearly vet visits are hugely beneficial and important. “Senior status” is based on size and breed for dogs and is usually around seven years old for cats.

As pets age, health problems can come fast and furious. A naturally shorter life span means a lot can happen in 6 months. Half a year is a huge percentage of life for a senior pet.

Senior blood work offers critical health insights into thyroid health, heart function, urinalysis, and more. There are so many common senior conditions we can treat or manage with medication and even laser therapy or acupuncture. We never want pets to suffer simply because they’re aging.

Senior pet wellness care helps keep your fur baby comfortable and happy in the twilight years, which is what we all wish for our own pets and even ourselves.

Do You Need a Day Admission?

Day admissions are convenient for busy pet parents and allow us the flexibility to see as many pets as possible.

We book day admissions just like regular visits. There is no fee or extra charge. You will have an exact appointment time in the morning, such as 8:10, and admitting your pet takes about 10 minutes.

Admitted pets are never left lonely in a cage. We check on them often and offer walks and attention! Pets here for the day relax in crates right inside our treatment area, in full view of our team. Get all the details on day admissions!
