Regular exams and checkups are a critical component of your pets’ health care. We advise all pet owners to bring their animals in for routine examinations.
Seeing your pets for regular checkups allows our veterinarians to establish a baseline in your pet’s’ body chemistry so that we can be aware of any potentially harmful changes.
If you would like to schedule an exam for your pet, please call us today at (540) 659-8140.

Preventative care is the best way to promote a pet’s’ overall health and help keep them healthy over the course of their life. We highly recommend preventative care plans in addition to routine checkups.

Obesity is a common problem among pets, as it can be easy to overfeed a cute dog or cat that knows how to beg. Being overweight is a serious problem for animals, and can cause real health problems.

Pets’ nutritional needs change as they enter different stages of their lives. The best way to make sure your pets’ needs are being met is to consult with us about a diet made specifically for his or her lifestyle. Please contact us if you have any questions. We would love to speak with you.
