Wellness Care
At Ridgeview Veterinary Clinic, our wellness visits are designed to ensure that your pet enjoys a healthy, happy life, guided by our philosophy of prevention and personalized care.
The Importance of Wellness Care
Preventative medicine is fundamental at Ridgeview Veterinary Clinic, where we emphasize regular physical exams as the foundation of your pet’s health. Our approach is tailored to each stage of your pet’s life, from the energetic days of puppy and kittenhood, through their adult years, and into the cherished senior phase.
Personalized Wellness Plans
We recommend annual wellness exams for adult pets and semi-annual visits for seniors. These check-ups are key in our whole healthcare approach, often involving blood, urine, or fecal tests to catch any early signs of health issues. We also conduct functional medicine tests to delve deeper into your pet’s health status as needed.
Individualized Parasite Prevention
We assess flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives based on each pet’s specific risk factors, ensuring a balanced approach between protection and risk. Our team collaborates with you to determine the best protocol for your pet, addressing your unique questions and concerns.
Tailored Vaccination Strategy
Our vaccination regimen is customized for each pet, aiming to provide necessary protection without over-vaccination.
Factors we consider include:
- Past vaccination history and any reactions
- Current health and any chronic conditions
- Lifestyle and exposure risks, such as social interactions and travel
Vaccine Titers
We also offer vaccine titer testing to determine the necessity of boosters. This involves a simple blood test, analyzed by specialized laboratories, to identify protective titers that may reduce the need for frequent vaccinations, thus mitigating potential side effects or immune responses.
