Routine Care For Your Pets
Yearly Wellness Exams
Wellness exams are like the yearly physicals you get—an opportunity for our veterinarians to make sure your pet is healthy and happy.
During the exam, we’ll check your pet’s:
- Heart & lungs
- Eyes & ears
- Skin
- Teeth & gums
- Joints & muscles
- Abdomen & lymph nodes
We’ll also ask about your pet’s diet, behavior, and any concerns you may have. This helps us catch potential health issues early and keep your pet thriving.
Tips for a Healthy Pet:
- Schedule yearly exams
- Keep vaccinations and deworming up to date
- Test for heartworm and use preventive medicine
- Senior pets benefit from wellness exams and bloodwork
- Use flea and tick prevention as needed
Your questions and observations are important! We encourage you to share any concerns during your pet’s exam so we can provide the best care possible.
Puppy and Kitten Care
We offer a complimentary adoption exam for your family’s new addition. Just like human infants, puppies and kittens require special care and attention during their first months. A visit with our doctors and staff is the first step in setting your new pet on the path to a long, healthy life.
Your puppy or kitten’s care may include:
- Complimentary first wellness examination
- Vaccinations, if needed
- Guidance on parasite prevention, spaying/neutering, and microchipping
- Advice on proper nutrition and diet
Immunization Protocols
Vaccinations are the most effective way to protect your dog or cat from serious infectious diseases. Our veterinarians can create an individualized immunization protocol based on your pet’s lifestyle and activities.
Vaccines for Your Dog
- Distemper/Parvo Combo Vaccine (DA2PP): Protects against Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.
- Rabies: Rabies is a fatal neurological disease; all warm-blooded animals, including humans, are susceptible.
- Bordetella (“Kennel Cough”): Highly contagious upper respiratory infection common in places where dogs gather. Recommended before daycare, boarding, grooming, or dog parks.
- Canine Influenza: Recommended during a dog flu outbreak.
Vaccines for Your Cat
- FVRCP (Distemper Combo): Protects against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, chlamydia, and panleukopenia.
- Rabies: Rabies is a fatal neurological disease; all warm-blooded animals, including humans, are susceptible.
- Other vaccines for cats:
- Feline Leukemia (FeLV): Highly recommended for cats that go outdoors or live in multi-cat households, as it spreads through close contact.
Heartworm and Flea & Tick Prevention
Our doctors recommend an annual heartworm test along with consistent heartworm prevention to keep your pet safe and healthy.
Spring also marks the start of peak tick season, making it the perfect time to stock up on flea and tick protection.
Not sure which product is best for your pet? Ask one of our team members—we’re happy to help you choose the right protection.
Senior Pet Care
At Granite Peak Veterinary Hospital, we consider pets age 7 and older to be in their senior years. Whether you adopted an older pet or have cared for a longtime family member, we encourage you to take advantage of advances in veterinary medicine to keep them happy and healthy throughout their golden years.
Our doctors and staff will work with you to develop a personalized healthcare plan that fits your pet’s needs, your schedule, and your budget. With regular check-ups and proactive care, we can help your senior pet enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling life.
As pets age, there may come a time when ensuring their comfort and quality of life becomes the most important priority. When that time comes, our team is here to provide compassionate guidance and support, including end-of-life care and euthanasia, to help you make the best decisions for your beloved companion.
