TLC for Sick Pets

Sick Pet Visits

Our sick visit appointments are designed for non-emergency health concerns that may be affecting your pet's well-being. If you notice any of the following conditions, we encourage you to schedule an appointment:

When your pet is favoring a leg or moving more slowly but can still put weight on it and doesn't seem to be in severe pain

Ssmall wounds or scratches that aren't actively bleeding heavily or showing signs of infection

Discharge, redness, or squinting when there's no obvious injury and your pet can still see normally

When your pet has been eating less for a day or two but isn't vomiting, seems reasonably energetic, and hasn't lost weight

Growths that you've recently noticed or that seem to be changing, but aren't growing quickly, ulcerated, or causing discomfort

If your pet has had mild to moderate stomach upset for more than a day but is still eating, drinking, and acting normally

Itching, hair loss, hot spots, or rashes that don't involve open sores

If your pet is scratching their ears, shaking their head, or you notice an odor or discharge, but they're not tilting their head or showing signs of severe pain

Sneezing, runny nose, or mild coughing in a pet who otherwise seems bright and alert

Needing to urinate more often or mild straining, as long as your pet can still urinate and isn’t showing signs of pain

Conditions like arthritis, skin problems, or sensitive stomach that have been slowly declining and need attention


Keeping pets healthy and safe

Vaccinations and Preventative Care

Provide the care your pet needs to stay happy and healthy. Vaccines and preventative care offer protection against deadly diseases, making them one of the most cost-effective health measures. 

Canine Vaccines and Preventative Care

Rabies vaccine is essential for pet health and legally required for dogs. Because rabies is a fatal viral disease transmissible to humans, prevention is crucial for both pet and human public health.

For dogs, the first vaccine must be given a booster within 1 year, then a booster every 3 years following.

When administered monthly, flea and tick treatment prevents fleas and ticks from biting your dog and therefore prevents skin irritation and disease that fleas and ticks may cause.

DA2PP stands for “Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza”, meaning that this vaccine is protects against four different diseases.

It is especially important for puppies to begin a series of DA2PP vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, as natural immunity obtained from the mother decreases and puppies become very susceptible to potentially life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus (Parvo).

Deworming is an important preventative care treatment for reducing parasites that can cause severe health issues like anemia, weight loss, and digestive problems, and some can even spread to humans. 

A microchip can be administered at any age and does not require surgery or anesthesia.

A microchip is a small, permanent identification chip about the size of a grain of rice. When your lost pet is taken to an animal shelter or veterinary clinic, a microchip can help reunite you with your lost pet.

Feline Vaccines and Preventative Care

Rabies vaccine is essential for pet health and legally required for cats. Because rabies is a fatal viral disease transmissible to humans, prevention is crucial for both pet and human public health.

For cats, the first vaccine must be given a booster within 1 year, then a booster every 3 years following.

When administered monthly, flea and tick treatment prevents fleas and ticks from biting your cat and therefore prevents skin irritation and disease that fleas and ticks may cause.

The FVRCP vaccine protects against 3 common and highly contagious viral upper respiratory and gastrointestinal infections: Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Panleukopenia Virus.

The vaccination is recommended for all cats, indoor or outdoor, as these viruses spread easily and can be deadly, especially for kittens, requiring a series for young cats and boosters throughout life for lifelong protection.
