Wellness Exams & Preventative Care
In Hudson Square, New York

We offer great deals once every year. Therefore, we strongly recommend that our clients schedule annual visits. Some animals may need more frequent check-ups depending on their age and health conditions.

In a wellness exam, one of our veterinarians will thoroughly evaluate your pet from head to tail, providing more clarity on its overall health and identifying any potential issues. By examining their eyes, ears, and mouth, feeling their joints and abdomen, and listening to their heart and lungs, we can spot possible abnormalities earlier and treat them accordingly. That is why we always stress on educating our clients on these issues.

Suppose you have any queries or issues as a pet owner. In that case, a wellness visit is an excellent opportunity to discuss your pet's health and at-home care with a trusted veterinary expert.

Vaccines are essential for preventive care, protecting against complex health issues in future. Every pet has unique needs, requiring different vaccinations based on their lifestyle, exposure risks, disease severity, and whether they are transmissible to humans. We may recommend extra vaccines based on these considerations, though core vaccines are highly advised for all pets.

We may also make additional suggestions based on your pet's lifestyle and risk factors.

We want to protect your feline pets against serious health threats while avoiding over-vaccination. Over-vaccination can cause possible adverse effects. Before administering vaccines, we might conduct a titer test first. This is a straightforward blood test to assess the level of antibodies present in your pet's system against specific viruses.

Titer tests may be more expensive than vaccines, but the results can show whether your pet needs any particular vaccines to remain safe. Moreover, if the results indicate a lack of need, we will provide the necessary vaccinations at no cost!

Guaranteeing that your pet never strays from their forever home is our highest priority. Microchips provide a lifelong, painless identification method for your furry companion. These tiny devices, roughly the size of a grain of rice, are implanted under your pet's skin and contain your contact details.

This helps safeguard the special bond you share with your pet, enhancing the likelihood of locating them should they ever go missing. We strongly recommend microchipping all pets, including those kept indoors, to give them a permanent means of identification.

While the risk of parasites is greater during warmer months, they can pose a threat throughout the entire year. To keep your pet protected from fleas, ticks, intestinal parasites, and heartworms, we recommend consistent testing and preventative treatments all year round. Our aim is to inform our clients about recognizing common signs and managing parasites in and around their home to maintain their pet's health and a parasite-free environment year-round.

We strongly suggest conducting lab work during your pet's annual check-up at Pure Paws Veterinary Care in Hudson Square. Lab work is a vital proactive measure in preventive care, as it aids in identifying hidden issues and monitoring health changes that might not be apparent.

Early detection plays a crucial role in effectively and affordably treating any possible conditions. Beyond general wellness and disease detection, lab work also ensures the well-being of our patients prior to any anesthesia or medication. Our laboratory services encompass complete blood counts (CBC), blood chemistry profiles, parasite testing, urinalysis, FeLV/FIV screening, and titers.
