Wellness and Vaccination Programs

Let us help you keep your pet healthy by bringing them in for regular exams and vaccinations. Dogs, cats and other pets age at a much more significant rate than people do. This means that significant changes to a pet’s health happen much faster than they do in humans; bringing your pet in for regular check ups allows us to diagnose diseases and conditions in earlier stages, making it easier to keep your pet healthy and happy. In many cases diseases can be prevented entirely by making sure that your pet has the proper vaccinations and preventatives. We recommend a check up once a year for healthy cats and dogs. For elderly pets, puppies, kittens, and pets with health issues more frequent. We’ll help you to create a wellness program for your pet that includes vaccinations, prevention protocols and more.

Annual wellness testing helps your pet by allowing us to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions sooner, helping your pet stay healthy.

Puppy Wellness Program


Congratulations on your new puppy! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for the newest addition to your family.

Our puppy wellness program is made to help you get your puppy started on the right trajectory towards a long and healthy life. The first few months are the most important time in your puppy’s development, and we can help give you the support, tools, and knowledge necessary to help your puppy grow into a well-mannered, healthy dog. This includes information and advice on nutrition, training, behaviour, and socialization.

Your puppy needs to be seen by the doctor as soon as possible. Puppies are very susceptible to future problems if they are not updated on their vaccines. Our service will provide vaccination for your new furry friend against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. In addition, parasites are very common among young dogs and therefore they need to be tested and treated for it.

Roundworms are very common in puppies. These are intestinal warms where the main symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal signs. It is also possible for your dog to have it but not show any symptoms. Roundworms are very serious, it is important to get your puppy treated for it, but also if not treated, your house could become infected. This is because roundworms are a zoonotic parasite, which means they can be transmitted from pets to people. By making sure that your puppy is treated, you can keep your entire family safe from these and other parasites.

We look forward to meeting your new puppy! Book your appointment today!

Congratulations on your new kitten! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for the newest addition to your family.

It is important to begin any puppy or kitten on a right path towards a long and healthy life. Animal Care Clinics kitten wellness program is designed to do just that. The first few months of the kitten’s development are very important. We can provide tools, support and knowledge necessary to help your kitten grow in a healthy and well-mannered cat.

Schedule your kitten to see our doctor for their first exam as soon as possible. Until your kitten has received a series of vaccines, he or she is susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. We will vaccinate your new pet against rabies and panleukopenia (distemper). Depending on your cat’s risk, we may also advise vaccinating your kitten against other diseases, such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Your kitten will also be tested for parasites which are common in kittens as well.

Roundworms are intestinal worms that can be uncomfortable for your little friend. These warms are very common with kittens. The main symptoms are coughing, weight loss, and a potbellied appearance, however they could have no symptoms but still have it. It is important for kittens to be treated for roundworms, not only to help get rid of the infection but also to prevent you and the rest of your family from getting infected. Roundworms are a zoonotic parasite, which means they can be transmitted from pets to people. By ensuring that your kitten is treated, you can keep your family safe.

We look forward to meeting your new kitten! Book your appointment today!


Adult Pet Wellness


Bringing your pet in for a yearly diagnostic and wellness checkup can help make sure that your dog or cat is healthy and helps us detect hidden diseases and conditions early. Early detection can improve the prognosis of many diseases, helps keep medical costs down, and helps your pet live a longer, healthier life. Many dogs and cats are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, subtle changes in their health or behavior are easy to overlook. Not to mention that depending on the disease, some pets don’t show symptoms at all.

Dogs and cats age at a far greater rate than humans, making it crucial for our companion animals to receive regular exams. In addition, the risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age.

During your pet’s wellness exam, we will perform a physical assessment, checking your pet from nose to tail. We will also make sure your pet receives appropriate vaccinations and preventives. We will also perform a diagnostic workup, which may include blood, fecal, and urine tests to check for parasites and underlying diseases. We may also recommend that your pet receive dental care.

When your pet is nearing their senior years, we will recommend a baseline exam and diagnostic workup so that we know what’s normal for your pet. This will help us to keep track of any changes with your pet.

Please let us know if you have noticed any physical or behavioral changes in your pet, as well as any other concerns you might have.

Senior Pet Wellness Program


As dogs and cats get older, they need more attention and special care. Our senior wellness program can help your pet remain fit and healthy as they get older and help us catch any potential problems earlier, when they’re easier to treat or manage. Regular veterinary exams actually help your pet live longer too!

Diagnosing diseases and certain conditions early is important throughout a pet’s life, but it becomes especially important as your pet enters their senior years. The risks of arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, and kidney and liver problems all increase with age. On top of that, dogs and cats may not show any signs of even serious diseases until they are advanced.

Senior status varies depending on your pet’s breed and size. Smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs, and cats generally live longer than dogs. We can help you determine what your pet’s current life stage is.

Before your dog or cat reaches senior status, we recommend that you bring your pet in for a baseline exam and a diagnostic workup. This will give us knowledge of what’s normal for your pet, this way we can keep track of any changes. In most cases we suggest this checkup for when your dog turns 7 years-old or your cat turns 8 years-old. After that, your senior pet will benefit from more frequent veterinary exams and diagnostic testing.

We can treat many symptoms that are commonly happen with age, including those associated with cognitive dysfunction syndrome (similar to Alzheimer’s in humans). We can also improve your pet’s quality of life in many ways: by identifying and preventing or reducing pain, recommending a nutrition and exercise plan, and suggesting environmental modifications.

We will tailor a senior wellness plan to your pet’s specific individual needs. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us to learn more. Schedule your pet’s exam today!
