Preventative Care
There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all veterinary care at Heartwood Animal Hospital. We provide completely customized veterinary care to each and every one of our patients, tailoring their treatment needs based on their environment, lifestyle, age, breed, health condition, and more.
Dog Wellness
When determining a treatment plan for your canine friend, we consider all important factors. For example, for smaller dogs like Dachshunds and Chihuahuas, care will be much different from the recommendations we have for larger breeds like Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds.
During your dog’s annual wellness check, you can expect them to be examined from nose to tail, and everything in between. We will use the opportunity to discuss health concerns including:
- Exercise
- Recommended nutritional needs and/or weight management. We offer Royal Canin Diet, ready to purchase and take home here at the office.
- Pest preventatives, such as Interceptor, Heartgard, Nexgard and Frontline.
- Vaccinations, such as Bordetella, DHPP, Rabies, Lepto, and Lyme.
- Labs such as Heartworm Test, Total Health Plus (complete panel), Chem 21, and Fecal.
- Exams such as Visible Dental Health, Eyes, Ears, Upper Respiratory/Nose, Heart/Lungs/Pulse, Gastrointestinal, Abdominal, Skin/Nails, Musculoskeletal, Neurological, Joints, and Annual Wellness Updates.
Cat Wellness
When determining a treatment plan for your feline friend, we consider all of the necessary important factors. For example, cats that spend their lives indoors will have different needs from cats that spend their lives outdoors. Also, the more exotic breeds will have different needs from domestic breeds.
When your cat comes in for their annual wellness check, we ensure that our hospital is ready to accommodate the special needs of our feline patients. Our veterinary technicians are committed to providing a calming environment by dimming lights, keeping the area quiet, and handling felines with appropriate cat-handling techniques. We will also work closely with you to discuss health concerns such as:
- Recommended nutritional needs and/or weight management. We offer Royal Canin Diet, ready to purchase and take home here at the office.
- Pest preventatives, ensuring that your cat is protected, especially from heartworm which has no cure if contracted by a feline. We offer Advantage Multi and Frontline Plus.
- Vaccinations, such as Rabies, Leukemia, and FVRCP.
- Labs such as Heartworm Test, Total Health Plus (complete panel), Chem 21, and Fecal.
- Exams such as Visible Dental Health, Eyes, Ears, Upper Respiratory/Nose, Heart/Lungs/Pulse, Gastrointestinal, Abdominal, Skin/Nails, Musculoskeletal, Neurological, Joints, and Annual Wellness Updates.
