Pet Wellness Care

We tailor treatment plans to your pet’s unique needs, considering factors like breed, health status, lifestyle, and vaccination history. Our wellness care involves thorough physical exams, parasite screenings, vaccinations, dietary assessments, and blood tests if needed. We also closely monitor your pet’s weight to suggest diet or exercise adjustments if necessary, as maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for their longevity and well-being.

CANINE WELLNESS CARE

At Central Valley Animal Hospital, our annual wellness exams provide an excellent opportunity for discussions about your dog’s health concerns, including nutrition, allergies, dental care, mobility, infection risks, and lifestyle changes.

Our veterinary team prioritizes open communication to address any issues early and tailor a proactive healthcare plan for your dog’s specific needs, ensuring their ongoing vitality and well-being.

Preparing Your Cat for Their Visit

For your cat’s safety, they should be transported in a secure carrier. Help your cat become comfortable with the carrier during the days prior to their appointment by placing it in a room where they spend a lot of time. Adding familiar objects such as soft bedding and placing treats, catnip, or toys inside the carrier will decrease their anxiety and help your cat to relax. Note that it could take days or weeks for your cat to get used to the carrier. If your cat is especially anxious during the car ride, you may want to cover the carrier with a blanket or towel. Some cats like to see what’s happening, but others prefer when the carrier is covered. See which option your cat likes best by placing them inside the carrier while transporting them around the house, covered and uncovered.
