Just as you require check-ups and medical care to ensure your health is in check, your pets do, too. When your companion receives wellness care, you are not only making sure they are currently healthy, but you are helping prevent issues from arising in the future. Town & Country Veterinary Hospital specializes in looking out for your pets with a wide range of wellness care services.
Wellness care is arguably the most important part of veterinary care.
It’s what every pet needs to ensure they have a happy and healthy life. During a wellness visit, your companion will get a full workup that will help our staff identify whether they have any underlying issues or not. This comes in the form of a full-body “massage” where our staff will palpate their body and examine their vitals.
However, that’s not where wellness care stops. If your companion is due for a vaccination, we’ll make sure they’re comfortable and remain calm through the process while we administer this preventative service. Illnesses and viruses like Rabies, Distemper, Hepatitis, and more can all be avoided when your animal gets their vaccines.
Another wellness service we offer is microchipping. A microchip is a small identification device that is used to help reunite you with your companion if you somehow get separated. They are about the size of a grain of rice, and they are traditionally implanted between the shoulder blades of the animal with a shot-like syringe. When a programmed scanning device is used, it picks up the unique code of the microchip and connects to a computer program where your information can be accessed. While many people choose to microchip their cats and dogs, other animals, like rabbits, snakes, and even birds, can be microchipped, too.
Wellness care helps ensure that your beloved companion can enjoy a long, healthy, and happy life by your side. Our staff provides wellness care services for all types of pets so you can be assured that your loved one will stay healthy.
