Preventive Veterinary Services at Southern Trail Animal Clinic

At Southern Trail Animal Clinic, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive veterinary services to keep your pet healthy and thriving.

Wellness Exams

Regular wellness exams are the cornerstone of preventive care, allowing us to monitor your pet’s health, detect early signs of illness, and address any concerns before they develop into more serious problems. These exams include a thorough physical examination, routine testing, and personalized health recommendations.

Senior Pet Exams

As your pet ages, their health needs change. Our senior pet exams are specifically designed to catch age-related issues early, such as arthritis, metabolic diseases, and other conditions that commonly affect older pets. These exams are more comprehensive, often including blood work, urinalysis, and other diagnostics to ensure your senior pet stays healthy and comfortable in their golden years.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are essential to protecting your pet from dangerous infectious diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Our team of veterinarians follows the latest guidelines to provide your pet with the appropriate vaccines based on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors, ensuring they are fully protected.

Microchipping

Microchipping is a simple and effective way to permanently identify your pet and increase the chances of a safe return if it ever gets lost. This quick and painless procedure involves implanting a tiny microchip under your pet’s skin, which can be scanned to retrieve your contact information.

Heartworm Prevention

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition transmitted by mosquitoes. We offer effective heartworm prevention options to protect your pet year-round, ensuring they stay safe from this dangerous parasite.

Flea/Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance; they can transmit diseases and cause severe discomfort for your pet. Our flea and tick prevention services include a range of products and treatments designed to keep these pests at bay, safeguarding your pet’s health and well-being.
