Comprehensive Preventive Care Plans
Puppy and Kitten Programs
Young pets receive structured preventive protocols at Chippewa Animal Hospital, including vaccine series, deworming, and early socialization guidance. The team tailors each plan to breed, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Adult Wellness and Screening
Annual exams for adult dogs and cats include physical assessment, heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and age-appropriate bloodwork. Early detection of metabolic issues helps maintain long term health.
Senior Pet Monitoring
For senior pets, the hospital recommends more frequent visits with blood pressure, organ function tests, and joint health evaluations. These protocols support comfort and longevity as pets age.
