Early Detection is Key to Preventing Disease in Dogs and Cats
Since our pets age very quickly compared to us, their health can also change more quickly. This is especially true when you consider how well dogs and cats are able to conceal pain and sickness. If we can see your pet at least once a year, your veterinarian can screen for health problems and detect small issues that could be liable to escalate.
To develop a clear and thorough picture of your pet’s current condition, we need to:
- Perform a full physical examination
- Check your pet’s heart, lungs, temperature, and weight
- Run blood and fecal tests to look for parasites, abnormal blood values, and more
Care for Puppies and Kittens

Preventative Care Adult Dogs and Cats
When your companion reaches their adult stage, much of their care revolves around health maintenance. Our primary concern during this stage is making sure your pet remains disease and parasite-free for as long as possible. Regular checkups are still essential, and usually include vaccinations, heartworm and tick-borne disease testing, and the dispensing of parasite preventatives.
Senior Pet Care for Dogs and Cats
Seeing their veterinarian regularly is critical for senior dogs and cats. We often prefer to see them for checkups twice a year or more, depending on their health. Chronic pain and illness are common among senior pets, making increasing their comfort and quality of life a major priority for our team in Winter Haven, FL.
