By: Dr. Justin Smith


1. Preventive Health Maintenance 

  • Yearly physical exam and vaccinations 
  • Spay/Neuter by 4 months of age


2. Feed the best quality food that you can afford

  • Readily available in our area 
  • USA made from USA ingredients
  • Balanced for the age of your pet

  • Heartguard Plus - heartworms, intestinal parasites (worms)


5. Prevent dental disease

  • Train your pet to accept having their teeth brushed
  • Professional dental cleanings as recommended to prevent infection inflammation, and pain that can lead to diseases of the heart, liver, and kidneys.


6. Microchip identification

  • The best means of getting your pet home if he becomes lost or stolen


7. Exercise

  • Walk, run, and play daily


8. Obedience Training
