Wellness Care

Comprehensive preventive health care to keep your pet healthy and happy throughout their life. Early detection and prevention are key to long, healthy lives.

Preventive Health Care

Regular wellness exams are the foundation of good pet health care. During these comprehensive examinations, Dr. McElwee evaluates your pet's overall health and can detect potential problems before they become serious.

Our wellness care approach focuses on prevention rather than treatment, which helps ensure your pet lives a longer, healthier, and happier life while also helping you avoid costly emergency treatments.

We customize our wellness care recommendations based on your pet's age, breed, lifestyle, and health history to provide the most appropriate preventive care.
