Examinations
Just like doctors recommend routine checkups for people, veterinarians advise regular wellness exams for pets. Early detection of potential health issues improves the chances of effective treatment and helps reduce long-term medical costs and complications. At Westerville Veterinary Clinic, we create personalized wellness plans based on your pet’s breed, age, lifestyle, and overall health—ensuring they stay as healthy and happy as possible.
Wellness exams typically include:
- Comprehensive nose-to-tail physical exam to evaluate all major body systems and establish a health baseline
- Personalized discussion about your pet’s behavior, nutrition, activity levels, and daily habits
- Customized recommendations for vaccinations and any needed diagnostic testing
- Ongoing monitoring of health indicators—such as weight changes—to catch potential concerns early
- Time set aside to answer your questions and address any concerns about your pet’s care
Vaccinations
At Westerville Veterinary Clinic, we believe that vaccinations are one of the most important steps you can take to keep your pet healthy and protected. Vaccines safeguard your pet from serious, potentially life-threatening diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia. Our veterinary team creates customized vaccination plans based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure they get the protection they need—nothing more, nothing less.
We offer a full range of essential vaccines for both dogs and cats, including puppy and kitten vaccination series, adult boosters, and senior pet assessments. Whether your pet is indoors, outdoors, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you stay on schedule and up to date. Protecting your pet through preventative care today can prevent illness tomorrow—schedule a vaccination appointment with us and give your pet a healthy start.
Parasite Protection for Pets and People
At Westerville Veterinary Clinic, we know that parasites are more than just an annoyance—they can pose serious health risks to both pets and people. From fleas and ticks to heartworms and intestinal parasites, these pests can find their way into your home through shoes, clothing, or even open windows.
If not addressed, parasites can hinder your pet’s growth, aggravate existing health issues, and even lead to life-threatening conditions. Some, like roundworms and hookworms, are zoonotic—meaning they can be passed from pets to humans, putting your entire family at risk.
The best part? Preventing parasites is simple, highly effective, and far more cost-efficient than treating an active infestation.
Routine Screening and Prevention Keeping Pets Safe
Regular exams and lab tests help us:
- Detect common parasites like roundworms, hookworms, Giardia, and Coccidia that can cause intestinal problems in pets.
- Develop a tailored treatment plan if parasites are found, designed specifically for your pet’s needs.
- Stop parasites from spreading to other pets and your family—because we care about the health of everyone in your home.
Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks spread disease, but monthly preventatives and regular checks help keep your pet protected year-round.
Intestinal Parasites
We recommend yearly or semi-annual fecal tests, as internal parasites are common, contagious, and especially dangerous to young pets and children.
Heartworm
Heartworms are mosquito-borne parasites that cause serious damage, often without early symptoms. Annual testing and year-round prevention are key—even for indoor pets.
