Preventive Care

Pets need regular check-ups, just like humans. We offer annual wellness visits to check on your dog or cat’s overall health. We will check your pet’s weight and temperature, listen to their heart and lungs, and conduct a physical exam. We can also run blood work, prescribe medication, and give any necessary vaccines. During your pet’s wellness visit, you will also have plenty of time to talk with the vet and ask questions. This way, you’ll be able to be proactive about your pet’s health in the future.

Congratulations on your new arrival! Whether you have a puppy or kitten, we offer plenty of services to help your new friend grow up healthy and strong. We’ll check the animal’s weight and also perform basic tests to ensure proper development. We offer puppy and kitten vaccination packages, spaying and neutering, and other services specifically designed for younger animals.

Vaccines are one of the easiest ways to protect your dog or cat’s health. And they’re not just good for your pet- vaccines also protect other animals in the community, as well as humans who might come in contact with your animal! We offer a variety of vaccinations to protect against common diseases. We have convenient vaccine packages, as well as individual vaccines. Click here to learn more about our vaccinations.

Parasites are a very common issue for animals, especially those who do not visit the vet regularly. There are many types of parasites that can affect pets, including ringworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. Non-worm parasites such as coccidia and giardia can also be an issue. Parasites can cause all sorts of issues in pets, ranging from digestive upset and skin problems to life-threatening conditions.

Luckily, there are safe and effective parasite treatments to eliminate parasites, as well as preventative measures that pet owners can take. Call us today to learn more about parasite control for your pets.

Fleas and ticks are common external parasites that a lot of animals deal with. Both fleas and ticks can cause massive irritation for your pet. They can also carry harmful diseases. Luckily, there are treatments available for flea and tick outbreaks, as well as a variety of preventative measures that pet owners can take.

Flea and tick prevention varies based on your pet and also your environment. We can help you create a flea and tick prevention plan that is customized to your dog or cat’s needs.

Heartworm is one of the most serious parasites that affects pets. While cats can get heartworm, this is mainly an issue in dogs. Heartworm can lead to serious organ damage and even death. In the early stages, heartworm also presents with relatively minor symptoms, which means that many pet owners might not notice a problem until it is too late.

Heartworm prevention drugs are very effective. Unfortunately, dogs can still become infected even while taking these medications. Therefore, it’s important to combine heartworm mediation with annual heartworm testing. Texavet offers both, making it easy for owners to prevent heartworm in their pets.
