Pet Wellness at Westminster Animal Hospital
Importance of Regular Wellness Visits
Routine wellness visits are vital for pets at every stage of life. For puppies and kittens, these visits ensure they receive essential vaccinations and preventive care needed for a healthy start. As pets reach adulthood, regular check-ups and updated vaccinations help maintain their health and prevent diseases. For senior pets, wellness visits become even more important, as early detection, ongoing vaccinations, and management of age-related issues can greatly improve their quality of life.

When to Schedule a Wellness Visit
It’s recommended to schedule wellness visits for adult pets at least once a year. Puppies, kittens, and senior pets may need more frequent visits to address their specific health needs. If you notice changes in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or health, it’s important to schedule a wellness visit right away. Early intervention can significantly impact your pet’s health.
Our core vaccination services cover essential vaccines recommended for all pets. The rabies vaccine, required for all pets, protects against the deadly rabies virus. The distemper vaccine guards dogs against a contagious viral illness, and the parvovirus vaccine protects them from a dangerous, often fatal virus. For cats, the feline herpesvirus vaccine prevents respiratory infections. These core vaccines are vital for preventing serious diseases and keeping your pets healthy. Staying up-to-date with these vaccinations gives your pets the best protection against common threats.
