Preventative & Wellness Care

At Fair Oaks Pet Hospital, we believe that prevention is the foundation of lifelong health. Our comprehensive pet wellness care focuses on early detection, personalized treatment, and proactive planning to help your dog or cat thrive at every age. Whether it’s a puppy's first wellness exam or a senior pet's routine screening, we tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs.

Wellness Exams

Routine appointments and annual check-ups are essential for maintaining your pet’s health. During a wellness exam, we perform a full physical evaluation, assess your pet’s lifestyle, and check for early signs of illness. These wellness visits give us the opportunity to monitor ongoing health, discuss any changes in behavior or appetite, and adjust care plans accordingly.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations protect your pet against serious and contagious diseases. We follow AAHA and UC Davis guidelines to create a customized vaccination schedule that fits your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Keeping your pet’s vaccines up to date is one of the most effective ways to keep your dog or cat healthy.

Spaying and Neutering

Spaying and neutering not only prevent unwanted litters, but also reduce the risk of certain cancers and behavioral issues. We provide safe, modern surgical techniques with personalized aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery.

Microchipping

A microchip can make the difference between a lost pet and a joyful reunion. This quick, permanent form of identification helps shelters and veterinarians contact you if your pet ever goes missing.

Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management

From selecting the right food to addressing weight concerns, we offer individualized guidance to support your pet’s nutritional needs. Maintaining a healthy weight is vital for disease prevention and overall wellness.

Senior Pet Care

As pets age, their health needs become more complex. Our senior pet care focuses on early detection of age-related changes, comfort-focused wellness plans, and proactive management of chronic conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, and thyroid disorders. Regular health screenings, mobility assessments, and medication reviews help keep senior pets happy, comfortable, and thriving in their golden years.

Behavioral Consultation & Support

Unwanted behaviors can be signs of stress, fear, or underlying health issues. We work with you to understand and address behavioral concerns, whether it’s anxiety, aggression, or house training.

Parasite Prevention

Protect your pet year-round from fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites with our tailored parasite prevention plans. We’ll help you choose the best preventatives based on your pet’s health and lifestyle.
