Family Pet Hospital Services
Here at Family Pet Hospital, our veterinarian will perform a comprehensive physical exam from nose to tail. The doctor will examine your pet’s mouth, eyes, ears & lymph nodes. Then, the doctor will listen to your pet’s heart and lungs. Last, the doctor will palpate your pet’s abdomen to “get a feel” of all organs. Following the examination, the doctor will make recommendations about necessary treatment or work-up.

Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in as little as three months. The risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, heart disease and other serious conditions all increase with age. And, because today’s pets are living longer than ever, chances are, many can experience a potentially serious illness during their lifetime. Twice-a-year wellness exams can help your veterinarian diagnose, treat or even prevent problems before they become life-threatening.

How often do you brush your teeth? Now….how often do you brush your pet’s teeth? Over time, your pet will accumulate a hard, rock-like crust of tarter on his/her teeth called calculus. The only way to adequately remove this is with a dental prophylaxis done under general anesthesia. If left untreated, dental disease can end up affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Initially puppies are provided immunity by antibodies provided to them through their mother’s milk. These antibodies begin to diminish sometime between 6 and 12 weeks of age. It is at this time that you want to begin the vaccine process. We generally recommend beginning with the first round of vaccines at 8 weeks of age and boostering your pet once monthly for a total of three rounds of vaccinations. No vaccine comes with a 100% guarantee, but proper care and vaccinations can greatly reduce the risk to your pet.
