Primary Care

Physical Exams

Regular check-ups are essential to ensure your pet's continued health and well-being. These visits allow us to proactively prevent common treatable diseases and detect any potential health conditions as early as possible.

Core Vaccinations

We offer core vaccines for dogs, including Canine Distemper and Parvo, Bordetella, Canine Influenza, Rabies, Lyme, and Leptospirosis.

For cats, we provide safe three-year modified live vaccines for Rabies, Feline Herpes, Rhinotracheitis, and Calici viruses.

Preventative Care

Blood, Urine, PCR & Fecal Testing

To gain a more comprehensive understanding of your pet's health, we recommend routine annual complete wellness panel testing, which involves obtaining blood and urine samples.

Nutritional Advice

We can offer simple tips and recommendations on the best foods to help maintain a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, we can provide guidance on managing and preventing specific medical issues through diet.

Parasite Control

Pets in NYC are frequently exposed to gastrointestinal parasites, ticks, and mosquitos, whether they are at daycare, dog parks, walking the streets of NYC, hiking in upstate New York, or visiting the beaches of Long Island.

We can conduct a risk assessment for your pet and advise on the best measures to test for, treat, and prevent these health concerns.

Behavioral Advice

Pets, like humans, are sentient beings who respond to stress and environmental stimuli in unique ways. Understanding their individual reactions is key to their well-being. By establishing a continuous relationship with your pet, we can better understand their typical behavior and identify if they might benefit from additional outside support from a veterinary behavior specialist.

Diagnostic Testing

Heartworm Blood Testing

Did you know that annual heartworm testing is recommended for your pet? This is especially important if your pet has not been on a heartworm preventative for more than a month.

Fecal Test For Parasites

To ensure the safety of both pets and their owners in shared living spaces, we recommend a fresh stool sample be provided prior to your pet's appointment. This measure helps us to identify and address gastrointestinal parasites that NYC pets are frequently exposed to.

Senior & Geriatric Pet Blood Screening

We recommend biannual blood screening for elderly pets, with testing commencing at approximately seven years of age for both senior dogs and senior cats.

Tick-borne Disease Testing

We would like to inform you about several tick-borne diseases that can affect pets, including Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. These illnesses are transmitted through tick bites.

We can assess your pet's risk, conduct necessary testing, and recommend the most effective preventative measures to ensure their safety.

Healthy Pet Blood Screening

Prevention is often easier than a cure, and annual blood screening is a vital part of the surveillance needed to ensure this. Regular screenings can help identify potential health issues early, allowing for timely intervention and better health outcomes.

Urinalysis & Urine Culture

Urine testing plays a key role in uncovering underlying health issues in your pet.

Medication & Disease Management

Mobility & Arthritics Management

Many of our pets are susceptible to activity and exercise-related injuries, as well as joint disease, as they age. Maintaining your pet's mobility is crucial, and we are here to offer advice on measures to support their active lifestyle for as long as possible.

Medical Diagnostic Testing & Disease Monitoring

Pets share many diseases with humans, including cancer and heart disease. During our visits, we will discuss and assess your pet's risk for these conditions and suggest special testing if necessary.

Dermatology & Allergies

Many pets suffer from allergies, whether they are food, environmental, or contact-related. We can help you manage these as they arise.
