The Importance of
Annual Checkups

 

Request an Appointment

Prevention is the best medicine, and early detection is a close second

Kitten Looking Up

 

 

When you bring your cat, dog, or pocket pet to us for a checkup, Dr. Fereday will perform a thorough physical exam and address any questions or concerns you might have. He might also suggest bloodwork or fecal or urine samples to help spot any underlying conditions. Animals are notoriously good at hiding their discomfort so it’s important to be proactive when it comes to their health.

Any recommendations for further testing are always based upon the animal’s individual needs. We welcome any questions you might have. As always, Dr. Fereday and the entire team will do their best to see your pet on time.

Call us today to schedule your pet’s wellness visit or if you have any questions at all about what to expect at your pet’s appointment.

 

Your pet’s wellness visit is the perfect time to discuss the following:

Parasite Prevention

We emphasize the need for heartworm and parasite prevention to all our clients. Fleas and ticks are big problems in our climate as are mosquitos, which transmit heartworms. Dr. Fereday will discuss options available for your pet and answer any questions you might have.

Dietary Consulting

Some pets need a little extra help maintaining an appropriate weight, others suffer from chronic conditions requiring dietary restrictions, and some have food allergies. If Dr. Fereday thinks your pet could benefit from a therapeutic or prescription diet, he’ll make a recommendation. For your convenience, we carry a supply of special diets in-house.

Microchipping

Microchips contain your contact information and can help reunite you with your pet if he or she should ever run away. Having a microchip implanted doesn’t cause any more discomfort than a routine vaccine. We offer microchipping for both dogs and cats.
