Pet Wellness Care for Dogs & Cats in Rocklin, CA

Pet wellness involves every aspect of your pet’s life: disease prevention, pet dental care, diet, exercise, behavioral training, reproduction, and even grooming. A strong wellness program supports the belief that good health comes from a proactive maintenance plan. At Rocklin Road Animal Hospital, you will find that wellness is always our focus, with a goal of a long and vigorous life for your pet.

Routine veterinary exams are the first step to a wellness program to determine your pet’s current condition, administer preventive vaccines and medications, look for areas of concern or developing problems, and to address those concerns and problems before they can cause great discomfort and harm to your pet. Your pet can’t tell you when something hurts or doesn’t feel right—this vulnerability is overcome by diligent adherence to a simple pet wellness plan.

In a healthy dog or cat, we recommend at least an annual visit once your pet has reached adulthood. Because dogs age approximately 7 years and cats approximately 5 years to our 1, it is important that your veterinarian examine him or her at least once a year.

The wellness exam includes a hands-on assessment of your pet’s health and condition, a thorough check-up, literally from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. At that time, we administer the appropriate vaccines and parasite prevention for your pet’s needs and lifestyle. In addition, we include an oral exam to determine when you should schedule your pet’s dental care.

Regular wellness care is a commitment to the health and longevity of your pet, as much a preventive as it is cost effective—disease prevention and early detection and treatment save your pet from pain and stress, while preventing extraordinary and costly veterinary measures.

At your wellness visit, your veterinarian will discuss your pet’s diet and exercise program and will happily offer suggestions for any behavioral issues you may be facing. The wellness visit is the perfect time to bring up any issues and concerns you may have regarding the health or care of your pets. If your dog or cat is reproductively intact and not part of a breeding program, expect a discussion about spaying or neutering your pet as well. Visit the Spay and Neuter page of our website for more about this routine procedure.

The professionals at Rocklin Road Animal Hospital look forward to assisting you in providing a long and healthy life for your pet.
