Like you, we take keeping your pet healthy through every stage of life very seriously. Pet wellness care is a core aspect of improving and maintaining good health in dogs and cats, and we recommend it on a routine basis to prevent disease and ensure the best quality of life for your companion. Advanced Animal Care offers complete wellness exams for every pet that involve a thorough physical checkup, lab work, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional guidance.

Why Do Pets Need Routine Exams?
Annual (or bi-annual, for senior pets) exams serve a couple of important purposes. First, they allow your veterinarian to look over your pet and set a baseline for their health. We can review your pet’s medical history for future checkups and measure their current vitals and overall physical state against past visits. This makes it easier to spot abnormalities, which may include redness, swelling, poor coat quality, sudden weight gain, lumps and bumps, and other issues. Catching abnormal changes allows us to explore treatment options and work to return your pet to optimal health.
Another reason for annual or bi-annual exams is to prevent disease. Regular checkups are essential for monitoring your pet’s overall health (and any existing conditions) and making treatment changes to improve their quality of life. We’re major advocates of preventative medicine and helping your pet live the longest, healthiest life possible.
Senior Pet Wellness Care
Dogs and cats experience a lot of changes over the course of their lives, and when they become seniors, the care they need to stay healthy also changes.
Partners in Your Pet's Nutrition
Do you have questions about what to feed your pet? Some pets require special food and/or specific diets. We can help you choose the right diet for your pet while taking into consideration their weight, breed, and any other special needs they may have.
If your pet needs a veterinary-specific diet, don’t worry. We carry Hill’s Prescription Diet and some Royal Canin and Purina Prescription Diets as well. Many foods can be ordered through our online pharmacy and delivered right to your door!
Microchipping for Dogs and Cats
We offer microchips with lifetime registration for your cat or dog. 10 million dogs and cats are lost or stolen in the U.S. every year, and a staggering one in three pets will become lost at some point in their lives. Your pet’s microchip, which we register for you into an online database, increases their chances of being reunited with you and gives you much-needed peace of mind. A microchip is secure, reliable, and permanent.
