Preventative Care

At Twin Tails Veterinary Hospital, we believe prevention is the key to a long, happy life for your pet. Because our pets age much faster than we do, routine wellness care plays an essential role in detecting health issues early. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care to keep your furry family members feeling their best.

Physical Examination: Regular check-ups help us monitor your pet’s health and catch potential concerns before they become serious. We recommend annual exams for adult pets (ages 1-7) and biannual exams for senior pets (7+). These visits allow us to assess their overall well-being and provide proactive care tailored to their needs.

Vaccinations: Vaccines protect pets from life-threatening illnesses such as parvovirus in dogs and panleukopenia in cats. Our vaccination protocols are based on your pet’s lifestyle, ensuring they receive the necessary protection without unnecessary treatments. During your visit, our veterinarians will discuss the best vaccine plan for your pet.

Microchipping: Collars and ID tags can fall off, but a microchip is a permanent form of identification that greatly increases the chances of being reunited with a lost pet. The process is quick, safe, and similar to a routine injection. If your pet is undergoing anesthesia for a procedure, we can implant a microchip at the same time for added convenience.

Parasite Prevention & Heartworm Testing: Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can pose serious health risks to pets. Year-round parasite prevention is crucial to keeping your pet safe. Our team can recommend the best preventive products for your pet’s lifestyle as well as when to routinely test your pet to ensure early detection and treatment of diseases caused by these parasites.

Wellness Blood Testing: Annual blood work helps us detect diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, and liver issues before symptoms appear. Identifying these conditions early allows us to manage them effectively and improve your pet’s quality of life.

Nutrition: A healthy diet is one of the most impactful ways to support your pet’s well-being. Proper nutrition can extend their lifespan and reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as obesity and arthritis. We can help you navigate the overwhelming world of pet food options and determine the right diet and portion sizes to keep your pet at their healthiest weight—while leaving room for the occasional treat!

At Twin Tails, we treat your pets like family and are committed to helping them live their happiest, healthiest lives. Let us partner with you in providing the best preventative care for your furry loved ones!
