Caring Hands Animal Hospital - Rockville

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets at every life stage—puppies, adults, and seniors—to assess overall health, detect early signs of illness, and create personalized wellness plans tailored to your pet’s unique needs. From the first visit to senior care, we prioritize proactive health monitoring for long-lasting vitality.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages, including first visits at 8–16 weeks for physical exams, fecal testing, parasite deworming, and core vaccinations like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo. Our team provides age-specific guidance on socialization, nutrition, and parasite prevention to set your new pet up for a healthy life from day one.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes semi-annual exams, lab work (In-House Bloodwork and Urinalysis), and proactive treatments to monitor age-related conditions. We focus on early detection of issues like arthritis, dental disease, and organ dysfunction to extend your senior pet’s comfort and quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies (required by Maryland state law), Distemper/Parvo (for puppies/kittens), and FVRCP (for cats). These vaccines are foundational to preventing severe, often fatal diseases, and we tailor recommendations based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

Our Heartworm Testing & Prevention program includes annual screenings and year-round preventive treatments (like Heartgard or Interceptor) to protect your pet from this life-threatening parasitic disease. We emphasize education on mosquito control and discuss options tailored to dogs and cats, even indoor pets.

We strongly recommend Flea & Tick Prevention year-round, offering solutions like Nexgard, Simparica, or Bravecto to guard against pests and diseases such as Lyme and Ehrlichia. Given our local climate, we treat all pets—indoor or outdoor—for continuous protection and provide through our online pharmacy.
