For Dogs

Wellness Care

Wellness care for your pet is essential to ensure they live longer, happier, and healthier. At VETsmart Animal Hospital, we believe the key to keeping your pet happy is comprehensive exams by our veterinarian, discussion of vaccinations to protect your pet, routine lab work and testing for internal parasites.

Bi-Annual Check-ups for Healthy Dogs

We understand that you have a busy life. When it’s time for your dog’s twice-yearly check-up, we are available to examine your dog from by making appointments during our regular business hours. In order to meet our mission of emphasizing convenience, we also offer drop off appointments through our Pet Drop Off Concierge Service that allows you to leave your dog with us and we’ll call you when they are ready to be picked up.

Our bi-annual wellness exam appointments go over the following items:

  Comprehensive Physical Exam from head to tail

  Vaccinations necessary to protect your dog based on their lifestyle

  Bi-annual Heartworm Testing

  Bi-annual Intestinal Parasite Screens

  Discussion of needed heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives to protect your pet from parasites

  Nutrition management

Before we administer any vaccinations, we do require that all dogs undergo a physical examination. We take your pet’s health seriously and keep thorough records to ensure that your pet gets consistent care with each and every visit. Ask one of our team members how we can get your pet on a regulated schedule with their vaccines and their exams.
