Wellness Care and Vaccines
Wellness (or preventive) care is an investment in your pet’s health, providing essential protection from infectious diseases and early detection and intervention for countless conditions.
Your pet’s health journey is unique, as is their wellness care at Crescenta Cañada Pet Hospital. We’ll create a personalized plan based on your pet’s lifestyle and needs, helping them live each day to the fullest while giving you peace of mind that you’re doing everything possible to support their health.
Why Does My Pet Need a Wellness Visit?
Pets naturally hide pain and illness, which makes it difficult to know when they’re sick. Routine wellness visits are key to detecting health issues early, often before symptoms appear. These vital appointments help keep your pet’s health on track.
Your pet’s wellness visit includes:
- Thorough physical exam
- Discussion of your pet’s behavior, diet, and lifestyle
- Screening for known breed, age, and health-related risks
- Veterinarian-recommended vaccines
- Parasite prevention recommendations
If a health concern is noted, your veterinarian can take action to diagnose and treat the issue. Early treatment can lead to better outcomes, reduced costs, and a longer, healthier life for your pet.
Vaccines: Protecting Pets and the Community
Vaccinations are a critical piece of every pet’s preventive care, supporting pet health and protecting the larger pet and human population from transmissible threats.
To ensure appropriate protection, we tailor each pet’s vaccine schedule to match their life stage and risks. Your veterinarian will guide you through what’s best for your pet, including:
Core vaccines
Elective or lifestyle vaccines
Early Detection With Routine Wellness Tests
Routine screening tests measure your pet’s internal systems and organ function. They also help build a baseline for more personalized visits and care. Common wellness tests include:
- Blood work
- Fecal exams
- Heartworm disease testing
- Tick-borne disease testing
- Urinalysis
- Thyroid testing
- Diagnostic imaging (X-rays, ultrasound)
