Pet Wellness & Preventive Care in Durham
Quality Veterinary Care in Durham, North Carolina
As pet owners, we want our furry family members to be happy and healthy for as long as possible. Therefore, it’s important to ensure you bring your canine or feline friend into Colony Park Animal Hospital for proper preventative care, such as routine wellness exams. This allows our staff to prevent harmful diseases or risks to your pet’s overall health.
Wellness exams include a comprehensive physical exam, vaccinations, and diagnostics such as intestinal parasite screens, heartworm/tick disease tests, and blood work panels – all tailored to your pet’s lifestyle. Our veterinarians will work closely with you to assess your pet’s risk, exposure, and medical history to determine what tests and vaccinations are needed.

The Importance of Preventative Veterinary Care
Preventative care is an essential part of your pet’s veterinary care. Generally speaking, an annual wellness visit is recommended to keep your pet happy and healthy. This offers the opportunity to identify and address any health problems before they become too difficult to manage, and it can help bring peace of mind in knowing that your pet is receiving the best care. You can even save time and money by identifying health problems early on. Some pet insurance policies even cover annual exams and wellness visits.
