New Pet Exams
Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is exciting, and the perfect time to schedule a new pet exam. Our veterinarians will assess your pet’s health, discuss recommended vaccination schedules, nutrition, parasite prevention, and answer any questions you have about raising and caring for your new pet.
Start your new pet off on the right paw with a wellness exam at Salmon Creek Vet Clinic in Vancouver.
Vet Check-up for Puppies and Kittens
Young pets require special care to grow strong and stay healthy. Whether you have a new addition to the family or a new litter in need of routine care, we are here to help. Our puppy and kitten wellness programs include:
Nose-to-tail physical exam
We conduct a thorough exam for both cats and dogs with a routine checkup and evaluate their overall health.
A series of properly staged vaccines
Vaccines are scheduled in stages to build strong immunity as pets grow and to keep them protected from serious diseases throughout their life.
Deworming and parasite testing
Deworming and parasite testing are done regularly to prevent and detect worms, fleas, ticks, and other parasites that can harm your pet’s health.
Microchipping
Microchipping is a quick, safe way to give your pet a permanent ID so they can be easily identified and returned if lost.
Spay or neuter consultation
A spay or neuter consultation helps understand the best time and benefits of the procedure, including health, behavior, and reproduction control.
Behavioral and nutritional guidance
Behavioral and nutritional guidance supports your pet’s overall well-being by addressing training, habits, and diet to keep them healthy.
Let's Schedule A Check-up
Wellness Checkups
Routine wellness exams are essential for catching health issues early, before they become serious or costly later on. We recommend annual or semi-annual checkups depending on your pet’s age and health status. During these visits, we perform a full physical examination, update vaccinations, discuss lifestyle changes, and monitor for signs of illness or discomfort.
As your trusted veterinary office in Vancouver, we are committed to making wellness care simple and stress-free for you and your pet.
Senior Pet Care
As our pets age, their healthcare needs may require more visits to the vet. We understand that an aging pet can be stressful and full of unknowns. Our kind staff are here to help guide you and your pet through the process. Our senior pet wellness services include:
- Bi-annual wellness exams
- Bloodwork and diagnostic screening
- Pain management and mobility assessments
- Nutritional and lifestyle adjustments
- Cancer screening and treatment options
Heartworm and Screening
Heartworm disease is a potentially deadly condition spread by mosquitoes, and it’s on the rise in Washington. It affects dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats. The good news, heartworm is preventable with routine screening and year-round medication. We offer heartworm testing and preventative treatments as part of your pet’s regular wellness care.
Protect your pet with proactive heartworm prevention at our Vancouver veterinary office.
Flea and Tick Prevention
Fleas and ticks pose a year-round threat in the Pacific Northwest. These parasites can transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease and tapeworms. Your pet can be allergic to fleas, and just one bite can result in a severely painful skin infection. At Salmon Creek Vet Clinic, we offer safe and effective flea and tick prevention options tailored to your pet’s lifestyle. Regular prevention is easier and more affordable than treating an infestation.
