Preventive Care Schedules for Cats and Dogs
Puppy and Kitten Plans
Young pets require a series of visits to complete vaccinations, parasite control, and growth monitoring. The team at Dunwoody Veterinary Center customizes each plan to breed, lifestyle, and local disease risks.
Adult Maintenance Protocols
Once pets reach adulthood, visits shift toward maintaining health through vaccinations, nutrition advice, and consistent screening. Owners receive clear timelines that match breed and lifestyle factors.
Senior Pet Monitoring
For older cats and dogs, more frequent checkups and targeted lab tests help catch age-related changes early. Adjustments to diet, mobility support, and medication can be introduced proactively.
