- Dental CareThe overwhelming answer is absolutely yes! Tartar is loaded with bacteria that gets into the blood stream transmitting harmful bacteria to your pet's internal organs. This bacterial can limit the lifespan of your pet.
- Vaccination
- Nutritional CounselingIt is always important to call Primary Veterinary Care immediately for an appointment when your pet exhibits a change of behavior or sudden weight gain or loss. We also offer 24 hour emergency services when those unexpected emergencies occur.
- Comprehensive ExaminationEach veterinarian and team member is deeply committed to your pet's health and well-being. Our in clinic diagnostics allow the caring doctors at Primary Veterinary Care to get the results of your pet’s blood quickly. The ability to obtain chemistry profiles, coupled with a complete blood count enables our doctors to determine if there may be an underlying problem with your pet that may not be seen by a physical examination.
- Parasites Treatment and ControlThere are several types of intestinal parasites found commonly in the fecal material of dogs and cats. By isolating the eggs of these “worms” with a fecal examination, we can identify which parasite is present. Different medications are used to treat different species of parasite, so identification is key to successful treatment. Some intestinal parasites can infect people, causing serious medical conditions, so always contact us if you suspect worms in your pet. The Companion Animal Parasite Council (www.petsandparasites.org) is an excellent resource for in depth information regarding parasites and human infection risk.
- Heart Disease TreatmentOne of the biggest advances over the years is how we deal with your pet’s dental problems. Primary Veterinary Care now has a brand new, state of the art dental unit that allows us to preserve many of those teeth that previously had to be extracted. By prophylactically cleaning your pet's teeth on a yearly basis, you are doing your part to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain free. Dental disease is an increasing concern in veterinary medicine. Some animals may have significant tartar and gingivitis as early 1-2 years of age. If left untreated, dental disease can contribute to heart disease, liver disease, and kidney disease, potentially shortening your pet's life as much as two years. Yearly dental exams and cleanings may increase the life-span of your pet tremendously.

- Laboratory ServicesPrimary Veterinary Care combines our compassion for your furry family member with the highest quality of care and attention. The cornerstone of our practice remains that preventative medicine is always more successful than emergency medicine. Primary Veterinary Care recommends yearly dental coupled with senior wellness exams after the age of six years old. We also feel that diagnostic blood work is one of the keys to helping us locate possible issues with your pet's health.

- Senior Pet CareEach individual procedure will vary from pet to pet and condition to condition. As with humans, the older the individual the more precaution needs to bee taken. Typically a physical examination, review of the patients' medical history and blood work are recommended with older patients. These precautions will make a procedure as safe as possible with a senior pet.
