Pet Wellness & Prevention
Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy.
Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care.
At Perkins Road Veterinary Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment. We would love to partner with you in helping your pet live a long, happy, and healthy life.

Keeping your pet healthy has never been easier.
Wellness Exams
Pets cannot tell us how they feel. Our wellness exams take a preventative approach in helping your pet stay healthy and enjoy a quality life. We recommend regular exams for your pet, which include nose-to-tail evaluations and age-appropriate wellness assessments.
Vaccines
Why should you vaccinate your pet? Vaccinations are very important for young pets when their immune systems are still developing. Vaccines protect against many viral and bacterial infections in pets. Our vets provide vaccination education and discuss our vaccine schedule, which helps to keep your pet healthy.
Parasite Prevention & Control
Flea, tick, heartworm, and other parasite prevention is a year-round job and necessary for keeping your pet safe and healthy. Many parasites cause serious illness or even death if left untreated. Some pet owners are not even aware when their pet is infected, which is why prevention is so important.
Dental Care
Does your pet have bad breath? This is not normal and should not be overlooked. Bad breath in pets is caused by infection and inflammation and can be serious despite not having any clinical signs. Periodontal disease is the most common medical condition seen in pets over 3 years of age. We have a board-certified veterinary dentist on staff to ensure your pet gets the absolute best care available.
Microchipping
Should I microchip my pet? Every year thousands of pets go missing. Even the most responsible pet owners experience broken leashes, escape artists, and thefts. Microchipping is a safe, effective, and permanent way to identify your pet in the event they get lost or stolen.
Puppy & Kitten Care
Do you have a new puppy or kitten? Congratulations! It’s a good idea to schedule an initial exam for your new family member to learn the basics and to make sure your new pet gets off to a healthy start! We can discuss spaying or neutering, microchipping, vaccinations and how to make sure your new friend gets all the nutrients they need.
Senior Pet Care
As pets enter their senior years and final stages of life, they require specialized care and age-specific testing to stay healthy and extend longevity. As your pet ages, our vets can help you identify early warning signs and take the necessary precautions to keep your senior pet healthy and happy.
