We discuss both core vaccines essential for all cats and dogs, as well as non-core options tailored to your pet's health needs. Ensuring your pet receives timely vaccinations helps protect against preventable diseases and supports their long-term health.

Types of Parasites

From fleas and ticks to mites and intestinal parasites, our veterinarians address a range of parasitic threats through proactive prevention measures.

Tick-Borne Illnesses: Annual testing and preventive treatments mitigate risks associated with diseases such as Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis, prevalent in our region.

Heartworm Testing: Annual screening for heartworm, coupled with year-round preventive medication for both dogs and cats, ensures protection against this potentially life-threatening parasite.
