Wellness and Vaccines
A lifetime of pet health and well-being begins with a solid foundation
From day one, your pet relies on you to protect their health.
With Best Friends Animal Hospital and Pet Resources by your side, caring for your pet feels less overwhelming and more empowering.
Preventive, proactive care starts here
Regular physical exams are the cornerstone of pet health. Nose-to-tail assessments, performed by our knowledgeable, caring veterinarians, help uncover hidden health issues, create education opportunities, and help inform a wellness program (care plan) tailored to your one-of-a-kind pet.
Customized care at every step of the journey
No two pets are alike, and neither are their health needs.
Lifestage-based exam schedule
Annual exams are recommended for adult dogs and cats, while puppies, kittens, senior pets, and those with chronic health issues will need more frequent visits.
Species-specific screening tests
Depending on your pet’s species and age, this may include:
- Intestinal parasite screening (fecal test)
- Heartworm disease testing
- Tick-borne disease testing
- Feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FeLV/FIV) testing
Vaccinations
Vaccines help your pet build immunity against dangerous infectious diseases such as:
- Rabies
- Canine parvovirus (DHPP)
- Canine distemper (DHPP)
- Canine leptospirosis
- Bordetella
- Canine influenza
- Feline panleukopenia (FVRCP)
- Feline calicivirus (FVRCP)
- Feline leukemia
- And more…
While puppies and kittens are vaccinated according to AAHA guidelines, older pets and those with health conditions may be vaccinated and boosted according to their risk and lifestyle.
Parasite prevention
All pets are vulnerable to fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. We’ll create a protocol that considers your pet’s age, exposure risk, health, and preferences and matches them with the most convenient, effective preventive(s). This is especially important because some parasites carry zoonotic diseases, which can be transmitted from animals to people.
For convenience and savings, we offer select parasite preventatives in-clinic—with many available at instant-discount pricing. You can also shop our online store, where you’ll find a wide range of products at prices that match (or beat) major online retailers.
Personalized education and support
You know your pet best, but you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
We’re here to help with advice that’s tailored to your special pet and real, practical answers to your questions, big or small. Whether you’re dealing with a new diagnosis, need help with training, or just need a little encouragement that you’re doing what’s best, you can count on our team to be there, with friendly, knowledgeable support and guidance whenever you need it.
