Wellness and Preventive Care

Healthy Pets Start With Preventive Care

The best time to care for your pet's health is before something goes wrong. Regular wellness visits at Parkway Animal Clinic give our team the chance to catch early warning signs, keep vaccines current, and build a long-term picture of what healthy looks like for your individual dog or cat.

From your pet's very first puppy or kitten visit through their senior years, we partner with you at every stage to keep them active, comfortable, and thriving.

What We Offer

Our Wellness and Preventive Services

Everything your pet needs to stay healthy, covered in one convenient location in Fort Oglethorpe, GA.

🔍

Annual and Semi-Annual Exams

A thorough nose-to-tail physical exam lets us assess your pet's weight, heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, skin, and joints. For senior pets we recommend twice-yearly exams since health can change quickly with age.

💉

Vaccinations

We provide core vaccines for dogs and cats as well as lifestyle vaccines based on your pet's individual risk. Our team will walk you through exactly what your pet needs and why, with no pressure to over-vaccinate.

🦟

Parasite Prevention

Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is one of the most important things you can do for your pet. We carry a full range of preventives and can help you choose the right option for your pet's lifestyle.

🐶

Puppy and Kitten Care

The first year sets the foundation. New puppy and kitten visits include a full exam, vaccine series, deworming, nutritional guidance, and plenty of time to answer your questions as a new pet owner.

🐾

Senior Pet Wellness

Older pets benefit from more frequent checkups and targeted screening for age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, thyroid disease, and cognitive changes. We tailor senior care plans to each individual patient.

🥗

Nutritional Counseling

What your pet eats has a direct impact on their energy, weight, coat, and long-term health. We provide practical, evidence-based diet guidance for every life stage, including pets with specific medical needs.
