New Pet Parent?
Whether you adopt from a shelter, buy from a breeder, or decide to keep the furry thing that found you, it's always important to know what you would be getting yourself into. Remember that each pet's needs may be different based off of species, breed, stage of life, lifestyle, and more. It's wise to establish care at a general practice hospital, where you can go in for regular check ups, get vaccines, schedule a spay/neuter, keep up on dental hygiene, and more!

Which vaccines does my pet need?
Click the button below to learn more about vaccinations and what they protect against! Remember some vaccines are lifestyle based and some are core vaccines. Bordetella, Leptosperosis, Rattlesnake, and Canine influenza may all be considered "lifestyle" based. DHPP and Rabies are both considred "core" vaccines. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine which vaccines fit best for your pet!

Spay and Neuter!
It's important to spay and neuter your fur baby for many reasons! The typical age for fixing may be around 6 months of age- although it may vary so please consult with your vet. Studies have shown longer lifespan for pets that are fixed compared to those who are not. Prices on this routine surgery typically varies based off of weight and sometimes stage of life. If you have a senior pet, price may go up due to necessary blood work and other possible work ups. If you are established at a veterinary hospital, you can always ask for an estimate based off of your specific pet.

Dental Hygiene!
Dental health is something that many pet parents overlook. Just as us humans need routine cleaning- so do our pets! Your animals mouth should be checked annually by a veterinarian for broken teeth, periodontal disease, infected teeth, and more. The care for your pet's teeth all starts at home and continues at your vet's office. When cleaning or extracting at the hospital, expect your pet to be anesthetized. If you have a senior pet, cost of this may go up based off of extractions, necessary blood work, and radiographs. Consult with your vet especially if you notice your pet may be in pain or discomfort while eating. Click the button below to learn more about pet's dental health!
