Wellness/Preventative Medicine

We are dedicated to providing your pet with the best care possible at Pinson Animal Hospital, thereby ensuring a longer, healthier and happier life. Our hospital offers annual and semi-annual physical examinations, vaccinations as required, dental check-ups, and wellness programs to help avoid illness and minimize the need to treat preventable diseases.

Our experienced veterinarian and staff are here to help your healthy pets stay well, and to help diagnose and treat your sick pets so that they can return to a healthy condition as quickly as possible. We want to partner with you in the health care of your pet from the first examinations and vaccinations of your young, healthy puppies and kittens, through early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages.

We recommend regular check-ups and consistent preventive care to help lessen serious health problems later in your pet’s life. During our wellness visits, we conduct a thorough physical examination checking vital signs, looking for abnormalities, and testing for heartworms and other parasites. Wellness blood profiles and urinalysis may be recommended for your pet at certain ages or if they fit certain risk categories.

After assessing your pet’s risk of exposure to diseases, we will develop a vaccine schedule based on your pet’s individual needs. Vaccinations are vital to your pet’s health, and can save your pet from unnecessary suffering, or even an early death.

We will explain potential health issues that your pet may face depending on the species, breed, the pet’s stage of life, current health condition, environmental conditions, habitat, and so forth. Based on these factors, we will develop preventive protocols for your pet regarding the best ways to control fleas and ticks in your house, your yard, and on your pet.

Whether you’re in need of a check up, diagnostic services and treatment for a sick pet or preventative care to keep your pet healthy, our doctors and staff at Pinson Animal Hospital are committed to providing personal attention to the unique concerns of every pet owner.
