Vital Wellness and Preventive Care

Our pets can’t tell us how they feel, and often, outward signs of underlying illness are subtle — until the illness becomes severe. This is why annual wellness exams (or semiannual for older pets) are critical to maintaining your pet’s overall health.

Physical exams, blood panels, and urinalysis can reveal a problem in its earliest stages — when it’s still treatable or manageable — and before it makes your animal companion gravely ill.

At your pet’s wellness exam, Dr. Murphy will conduct a health assessment that includes checking your pet’s ears and mouth, listening to your pet’s heart, feeling the abdomen for abnormalities, weighing your pet, asking questions regarding your pet’s behavior and any physical changes, administering appropriate vaccines, and collecting blood and urine samples for testing.

We fully embrace Fear Free℠ protocols, and we do our best to make every experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. We look forward to partnering with you to help maintain your pet’s optimal health.

Schedule your pet’s wellness exam at a time that’s convenient for you.

Dr. Murphy is very sweet and knowledgeable…. He made accommodations to get me in on short notice when my dog fell and hurt himself and took his time explaining things and showing me the x-rays. He made sure all of our questions were answered and that my dog was well taken care of, not to mention the time he took to make his office as anxiety free for animals as possible, and his state of the art equipment. I will be going to him from now on and would definitely recommend him as a vet!!
