Wellness Visits

Compassionate, Preventive Care You Can Trust

At Muirfield Animal Hospital, we believe preventive care is the foundation of a happy and healthy life for your pet. During wellness visits, we take the time to thoroughly examine your pet, clearly explain our findings, and partner with you to create a personalized care plan that supports their everyday needs.

Above all, your pet’s comfort matters to us. Our team uses gentle handling, moves at your pet’s pace, and creates a calm, positive experience with treats, reassurance, and—when welcome—favorite butt scratches and nose boops.

From wide-eyed youngsters to wise old companions, we adore caring for every stage of your furry family’s life. Check out our Wags & Whiskers Advice column for the most up-to-date pet care information.

New Puppy & Kitten To-Do Checklist

Welcoming a new furry family member is exciting—and a little chaotic at times! We’re here to help your puppy or kitten get the very best start. From first vaccines and deworming to monthly flea and heartworm protection, we make sure all the essentials are covered. We’ll also walk you through those adorable-but-sometimes-frustrating behaviors so your little one can grow into a happy, well-adjusted companion.

Home Safety Prep

• Puppy/kitten-proof your home (secure cords, toxins, and small objects).
• Provide a safe, cozy space for rest. Crate training early is helpful.
• Use baby gates or pens as needed for supervision.

Adult & Senior Pet Care Checklist

As pets get older, regular checkups become more important than ever. We recommend a comprehensive physical exam at least once a year—and sometimes more often depending on your pet’s needs. These exams may include routine bloodwork, vaccinations, and health screenings to catch any changes early.

Continued monthly heartworm and flea prevention remains essential for keeping adult pets healthy and happy. Our team is here to help your senior companions enjoy their golden years with comfort, vitality, and plenty of tail wags.

Schedule Annual Exams

• Bring your adult or senior pet in for a full physical exam at least once a year—or more frequently if recommended by your veterinarian.
• Discuss any changes in behavior, appetite, weight, or mobility.
• Review any ongoing medications or health concerns.
