Why Preventative Care Matters
Preventative care helps detect potential health issues before they become serious. Regular check-ups allow veterinarians to assess your pet’s overall health, identify early signs of illness, and provide necessary treatments or lifestyle recommendations. Investing in preventative care can reduce long-term medical costs and improve your pet’s quality of life.
Comprehensive Wellness Exams
Routine wellness exams are a cornerstone of pet preventative care in North Platte, NE. During these visits, our veterinarians assess:
- Weight and body condition
- Heart and lung function
- Skin, coat, and dental health
- Joint mobility and muscle tone
- Signs of parasites or infections
Vaccinations and Disease Prevention
Vaccines protect pets from serious illnesses. We tailor vaccination schedules based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and risk factors. Core vaccines for dogs and cats include protection against rabies, distemper, and other common diseases. Additional vaccines may be recommended based on your pet’s needs.

Nutrition and Weight Management
