Vaccinations and Exams
Here at All Creature Features Animal Hospital we want to maintain your pets optimum health. This means getting the proper vaccinations as a puppy or kitten and regular exams as a "senior" pet. The proceeding schedules follow the ideal protocol for seeing your new pet for their first visit at six weeks of age and having no previous vaccinations. Any schedule can be custom tailored to fit the needs and age of your pet. All pets should have these sets of vaccines as a puppy or kitten, and then be seen for a yearly exam and boosters.

Your Older Pet
We recommend your senior pet to be seen by a veterinarian once a year for a special wellness exam. This can include the update of yearly vaccines, a heart worm test, and other special procedures.
Physical Exam: Checks for heart murmurs and other physical ailments that may have developed as your pet ages
Blood Profile: Checks for the start of kidney, liver, pancreatic and blood diseases. The blood profile also checks blood glucose (a marker for diabetes) as well as thyroid chemistry levels.
Tonometry: This checks the eye pressure of your pet and can help save their vision through early detection of glaucoma.
