PROTECT YOUR PETS WITH A LIFETIME OF QUALITY CARE

Regular checkups can help keep your pets healthy and happy throughout their lives. Routine physical exams can help us spot minor medical issues before they escalate into serious problems and also give us a valuable opportunity to establish a rapport with you and your pets.

Your Pet’s Wellness Examination

During your pet’s wellness visit, Dr. Rostykus will conduct a comprehensive physical exam and provide personalized recommendations for diagnostic tests, vaccinations, and parasite prevention based on your pet’s specific risk factors. He will only recommend tests that are truly necessary for pets in otherwise good health.

Once your pet turns 7, we recommend including senior bloodwork in their annual exam to help detect age-related conditions as early as possible.

Wellness visits are also a great time to explore additional care options that support your pet’s overall well-being, such as dental cleanings, allergy and dermatology evaluations, and pain management solutions.

Customizable Prevention

We’re happy to make available to you our schedule for new puppy and kitten vaccines and parasite prevention. Regardless of your pet’s age, Dr. Rostykus will tailor your pet’s preventive care to address individual risk factors.

Puppies and kittens do need to be seen several times the first year. After that, we recommend annual visits.
