Wellness Exams, Vaccinations, Deworming, and Parasite Prevention

At Animal Republic Veterinary Hospital and ER, we provide comprehensive wellness exams, including routine check-ups, vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention, to keep your pet in optimal health.

Routine Veterinary Exams

Regular check-ups are vital for maintaining your pet’s health and detecting potential issues early.During these exams, our veterinarians will:

• Assess your pet’s physical condition and vital signs
• Perform a thorough physical examination
• Discuss any concerns or changes in behavior
• Recommend diagnostic tests if needed
• Update vaccinations and parasite prevention as necessary

Vaccinations

Vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Our protocols are tailored to your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle.

Core Vaccines

Core vaccines are essential for all pets, as they protect against widespread and severe diseases:

• Dogs: Canine distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, rabies, and Leptospirosis (recommended as a core vaccine in California).
• Cats: Feline distemper (panleukopenia), feline herpesvirus, feline calicivirus, Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), and rabies.

Non-Core Vaccines

Non-core vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle, risk of exposure, and specific health needs:

• Dogs: Canine Influenza, Canine parainfluenza (kennel cough), Canine Lyme vaccine, Canine Enteric Coronavirus, and Canine rattlesnake vaccine.

Deworming

Regular deworming prevents and treats intestinal parasites that could harm your pet. Our deworming protocols include:

• Intestinal Worms: Regular treatment for parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

Parasite Treatment and Prevention

Parasites can lead to serious health problems, making prevention and treatment essential. We offer comprehensive protection from the following:

• Fleas and Ticks: Monthly preventatives to guard against infestations and tick-borne diseases.
• Heartworms: Monthly or quarterly preventatives to protect against heartworm disease, which can be life-threatening if untreated.
• Ectoparasites: Prevention and treatment for fleas, ticks, and mites to ensure your pet’s comfort and health.
