Vaccinations and wellness checkups are critical for the health of pets in Winston-Salem NC. As a Winston-Salem animal hospital, we want all the pet owners in the community to understand how important these services are and how veterinary care of this type can benefit their pets.

Vaccinations Protect Pets

Winston-Salem pet vaccination provides pets with protection against common illnesses and diseases. All pets should need to have core vaccinations and occasional boosters. Some pets need additional vaccinations because they are at high risk for certain other illnesses. We help pet owners decide which vaccinations are right for their pets, and administer doses as requested. We also help pet owners track when booster shots are due, so their pets will always be up-to-date on the necessary shots.

Wellness Exams Help Keep Pets Healthy

During pet wellness exams, we check all the major systems of your pet, including his or her blood, feces, skin, eyes, coat, teeth and more. We look for signs of health trouble, heart or respiratory distress and gum disease. When we find problems with your pet, we make recommendations for treatment as needed. Wellness exams help you determine whether or not your pet is healthy and helps to ensure that your pet gets the very best care.
