Why We Recommend Annual Exams

An exam is a priceless tool for determining your pet’s health and detecting subtle changes that could lead to something bigger. We can then use our findings to help guide you in making the best decisions for their pet care, whether that includes treatment for an existing problem or additional preventative measures. Cat or dog healthcare and wellness care generally includes these services:

A thorough, nose-to-tail examination
Blood and fecal testing to check for infections, diseases, and parasites
Vaccinations to increase your pet’s immunity to different diseases
Administering parasite prevention to your pet
Answering any questions you have and asking questions of our own about your pet’s diet, activity level, and daily habits

Parasite Prevention

Heartworm Disease

Heartworm disease is a major concern here in Lafayette. Louisiana comes in second behind Mississippi for having the most heartworm infection cases in the country. It takes 6 months after first being infected for a pet to test positive for heartworm, and both dogs and cats can be affected. There is no approved heartworm treatment for cats and only one approved treatment for dogs, and it is very expensive.

Microchipping Keeps Pets and Their Families Together

Microchipping is a fast, painless, no-sedation-required procedure that helps you and your pet stay connected if they go missing. A microchip provides permanent identification for your pet and when scanned, reveals your name and registered contact information.
