Where Good Health Begins
At Roots Veterinary Hospital, we believe the best medicine is prevention. From your pet’s first puppy or kitten visit through their golden years, our comprehensive wellness and preventative care is designed to keep your furry family member healthy, happy, and thriving. Because when we work together as partners in your pet’s care, we can prevent problems before they start and catch any issues early when they’re most treatable.
Wellness Care is Fundamental
Wellness exams are where our partnership truly begins. These regular checkups allow us to get to know your pet as an individual—what’s normal for them, their unique personality, and their specific health needs. By establishing this baseline, we can quickly detect even subtle changes that might indicate developing health issues.
Here’s the truth: many health problems in pets go unnoticed in their early stages. Dogs and cats are masters at hiding discomfort, and by the time symptoms become obvious, conditions can be more serious and difficult to treat. That’s why we recommend annual wellness exams for adult pets and twice-yearly visits for our senior companions.
Every pet is unique, and their care should be too! We create personalized preventative care plans that consider your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and risk factors. Whether you have an adventurous hiking buddy or a cozy indoor couch potato, we’ll develop a plan that fits your pet’s world.
