We conduct thorough and personalized comprehensive physical exams for your pets to establish a baseline or monitor ongoing health, ensuring early detection of potential issues.

Annual, semiannual, or more frequent exams are recommended based on age, breed, and health status.

We design specialized wellness packages for puppies and kittens, which include essential vaccinations, developmental assessments, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling. These packages ensure your young pet builds a strong foundation for lifelong health, with guidance on socialization, behavior, and age-appropriate care.

Vaccination schedules are customized based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk exposures, with clear guidance on booster intervals and prevention strategies.
