Wellness Care
Keep your pet happy and healthy with routine care.
Our wellness programs are designed to ensure your pet’s health and happiness. Since our pets age more quickly than we do, regular exams allow your veterinarian to evaluate your pet’s overall health. We strive to prevent illness whenever possible because we understand that early diagnosis can lead to a longer, healthier life. We recommend that all healthy adult cats and dogs receive a complete physical examination at least annually. Your veterinarian will perform a comprehensive physical exam, answer any questions you may have, and update any vaccinations that are due at this time. We may recommend other diagnostics and treatments specific to your pet based on history, environment, breed, and examination findings.
Our comprehensive veterinary exam includes:
- A review of your pet’s medical history
- An ear and eye examination
- A dental exam
- Cardiopulmonary (Heart & Lung) analysis
- Abdominal palpation
- A dermatological (skin) exam
- Flea, tick, and other external parasite checks
- Orthopedic exam and gait evaluation
We strive to get you and your new pet started off right! Our staff stays current on the latest vaccination, nutritional, behavior, and training recommendations for your new family member. When you bring your puppy or kitten to Allpets for their first visit, please bring details about their health history along. If your pet has already been vaccinated, this will allow us to know what vaccines they have received. A puppy or kitten’s previous medical history might only include one or two vaccines, depending on the age, but it is important to share with us, so we can design a schedule of care that is right for them. When you have a new puppy or kitten, it can be an exciting and overwhelming time. We’re here to answer all of your questions, no matter how ordinary or extraordinary they may seem. We’re here to help!
Spaying and neutering your pet can help it live a longer, healthier life, and we recommend you discuss this routine procedure with your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will work with you to determine the best time to spay or neuter your pet based on its size, breed, personality, and lifestyle. Having surgery can seem daunting, but at Allpets at Pickerington, we love your pets as much as we love our own, and we take pride in providing them with the best care possible. Our experienced veterinarians and technicians make every effort to ensure that your pet’s surgery experience is as safe and pain-free as possible. In addition to preoperative bloodwork and a comprehensive exam, a surgical technician will monitor your pet’s vital signs throughout surgery and recovery.
A pet microchip is a small, electronic chip about the size of a grain of rice implanted under the skin. The subcutaneous injection can be performed by one of our trained medical staff members at any time during a visit, without the need for surgery or anesthesia. If your pet becomes lost, a rescue organization, animal control officer, or veterinary hospital equipped with a universal scanner can scan your pet for a microchip. In order to reunite you with your pet, your pet’s unique microchip number is then used to retrieve your contact information from the national pet recovery database. The chances of reuniting pets with their families are significantly higher when they have microchip identification.
An important part of preventive pet health care is vaccinating your pet against disease. Every vaccination protocol at Allpets at Pickerington is based on the latest scientific research and tailored to your pet’s needs.
Cat Vaccines
Dog Vaccines
- Canine distemper
- Canine adenovirus-2 (hepatitis)
- Canine parvovirus
- Canine parainfluenza virus
- Leptospirosis
- Rabies
- Canine influenza virus
- Bordetella (kennel cough)
- Lyme Disease
- Feline rhinotracheitis (herpes)
- Feline calicivirus
- Feline panleukopenia (distemper)
- Rabies
- Feline leukemia
It is common for pets to experience mild side effects after receiving a vaccine. Mild lethargy, pain at the injection sites, and inappetence are common side effects following vaccination in cats and dogs. These symptoms are not cause for concern unless they are severe or last for more than a day or two.
Signs of a vaccine reaction include the development of itchy bumps or hives, swelling of the face (lip and/or eyelid margins), or respiratory distress. Seek veterinary care immediately if any of these signs develop.
If your pet exhibits any other symptoms about which you are concerned, please call us for recommendations.
Parasites can pose serious health risks to pets and people. If left untreated, parasites can be life-threatening for your pet and can sometimes be transmitted to you or other members of your household. Our veterinarians recommend year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention and an intestinal parasite exam every six months. Our parasite prevention products can help protect your dog or cat from any of the following common parasites:
- Fleas
- Ticks
- Heartworm
- Intestinal Parasites
- Roundworms
- Hookworms
- Whipworms
- Tapeworms
- Coccidia
- Giardia
Your pet may need to make lifestyle changes as they age to stay happy and healthy, and we’re here to help you with those decisions. The changes may include dietary changes or medication to help manage chronic conditions. As your senior pet’s abilities diminish, we will also provide you with ideas to keep them active and enriched. As your pet ages, medical concerns can develop rapidly. Senior wellness exams every 6 months and more frequent lab work are often beneficial for our older patients. Diagnostic test results can reveal concerns regarding internal organs, including blood glucose levels and kidney, liver, and thyroid function. They help us identify if a change in diet or medication may help your pet live a longer, healthier life. Your veterinarian will tell you when your pet should begin having biannual exams and bloodwork, as this depends on your pet’s health, species, and breed.
