Pet Wellness Care is a Lifelong Process
Our veterinarians and staff in Centennial welcome pets of every life stage for their essential wellness and preventative care needs. Making sure that your pet is healthy from the very beginning and helping them stay that way for life is an ongoing process, and we’re happy to guide you through it, step by step.
Wellness is a very important aspect of veterinary care because it enables us to create a baseline of health for your pet that we can use for future reference. This way, we can detect changes more easily and take proactive measures to prevent illness. Yearly exams, blood work, vaccinations, and parasite control are all critical components in your pet’s lifelong healthcare routine.

The Basics of a Pet Exam
The exam, or physical, is a yearly nose-to-tail checkup that includes measuring your pet’s weight, heart rate, and temperature. Similar to a human physical, this exam gives us basic information about your pet’s condition. Other steps that may be included in the overall exam:
- Deworming, an essential step for puppies and kittens
- Collecting a fecal sample to screen for intestinal parasites
- Taking a blood sample to screen for heartworm disease and other hidden issues
- Giving your pet the necessary vaccinations to keep them protected from diseases
- Offering health care suggestions based on our exam findings
- Providing recommendations for ongoing parasite prevention and other treatments
Senior Wellness
As your pet ages, our veterinarians will help you create a pet wellness care plan that accommodates their changing health needs. It is common for seniors to develop arthritis, diabetes, and other issues, so routine exams and diagnostics are important for keeping these conditions manageable for our patients. Furthermore, we can offer options for relieving pain and increasing mobility.
Why We Promote Year-Round Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, roundworms, and giardia are more than just pests; they can also make your pet very sick. At Festival Animal Clinic, we can provide a full range of screening options in addition to various quality preventives to safeguard your pet against an infestation. Some intestinal parasites take more than one dose of medication to treat, and others, such as roundworms, are contagious to humans.
