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.

I highly recommend Dr. Murphy. Since around 2000, he cared for my cats, providing wise counsel, kindness and compassion for all involved. When my cat, Stan, was diagnosed with cancer, Dr. Murphy worked with me to prescribe just what was needed to give my buddy a good quality of life for several years after. For that, I will be forever grateful!
