Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams ensure early detection of health issues through thorough physical assessments of heart, lungs, eyes, ears, and overall body condition. We recommend bi-annual exams for senior pets and annual visits for younger animals to maintain optimal health. These preventive check-ups include parasite screening, vaccination updates, and personalized health advice tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations to protect pets from preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Our vaccination schedules follow AAHA guidelines and consider each pet's age, health status, and exposure risks. We educate owners about vaccine importance while ensuring compliance with South Carolina legal requirements for rabies immunization in cats and dogs.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital X-rays, and periodontal disease treatment to maintain oral health. We address issues like tartar buildup, tooth extractions, and gum infections while teaching preventive home care techniques. Advanced dental diagnostics help identify hidden problems beneath the gumline that could affect overall pet wellness.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized senior care addresses age-related conditions through bi-annual exams, bloodwork screening, and mobility assessments. We manage chronic issues like arthritis and organ disease while offering nutritional counseling to improve quality of life. Our team provides cognitive support strategies and pain management solutions for aging pets in Greenwood, SC.
Emergency Services
We offer emergency treatment during regular business hours for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or breathing difficulties.
