Early Detection Preventative Care

Our goal is to provide a better quality of life for your pet and your family. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by detecting medical problems as early as possible. This starts with a head-to-tail examination by the doctor and a consultation with you about what your pets’ specific needs and risks are. We will then recommend appropriate diagnostic tests, immunizations, dental care, diets, etc. to keep your pets in optimal health.

This early detection approach will increase treatment success thereby limiting your pets’ unnecessary suffering. Since pets are instinctually programmed to hide pain and cannot tell us when something is bothering them, we need to be proactive. Our hope is that all of the tests are normal. This not only gives us peace of mind but gives us normal results to compare to if the pet gets ill later. We may also be able to pick up on trends that are changing in the tests allowing early intervention. Based upon our findings, we can make specific recommendations for diet, exercise, treatment, behavior modification or further testing.

We feel that our role in your pets’ care is to assist you in making the best health care decisions possible.
