Everything You Need to Know About Your Pet’s Care
During your pet’s first visit to Parkwood Animal Hospital, our veterinary team performs a complete physical examination from nose to tail to assess overall health. We review your pet’s medical background, discuss nutrition and lifestyle habits, and check weight, skin, coat, eyes, ears, heart, and joints. You will also receive preventive care guidance, vaccination recommendations, and a wellness plan designed to support your pet’s long-term health.
We address urgent medical concerns during normal hospital hours whenever possible. If your pet needs care when the hospital is closed, we will recommend a nearby emergency veterinary facility so treatment is not delayed. After emergency care, we can continue follow-up treatment and ongoing care at our hospital.
Parkwood Animal Hospital provides comprehensive veterinary care for dogs and cats. Services include wellness exams, vaccinations, diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, parasite prevention, and medical treatment for illness or injury. Our goal is to support pets through every stage of life while focusing on comfort, prevention, and overall wellness.
Appointments are preferred so we can dedicate proper time to each patient. However, if your pet has a sudden health concern, please call our office and we will make every effort to arrange a same-day visit based on availability.

Routine wellness exams allow veterinarians to detect health concerns early, track weight and behavior changes, and keep preventive care up to date. These visits help your pet stay healthier longer and reduce the likelihood of serious medical issues later.
Vaccination schedules vary depending on your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle. Young pets require a series of initial vaccines, while adult pets need periodic boosters. Our veterinarians create a personalized schedule to provide protection without unnecessary treatments.
You can contact us if you notice loss of appetite, vomiting, coughing, limping, low energy, unusual behavior, or changes in drinking or bathroom habits. These signs may indicate underlying illness, and diagnostic testing helps determine the cause so treatment can begin promptly.
