Frequently asked questions

Understand more about your pet’s condition and treatment options.

Adult dogs and cats should have annual preventive care appointments, while senior pets should be examined twice yearly. Puppies and kittens need more frequent care—starting at six weeks of age and continuing every 4 weeks until they're over 16 weeks old. Regular exams allow us to detect and address health issues early.
