Proactive Wellness for Pets of All Ages

Our team, led by Dr. Hunter Finn, works with you to understand your pet’s unique needs, lifestyle, and risk factors. Together, we create a customized prevention plan that includes routine wellness exams, age-appropriate lab screening, cat and dog vaccines, heartworm testing, flea and tick control, and early detection diagnostics. By staying one step ahead, we can prevent disease, reduce treatment costs, and improve your pet’s quality of life for years to come. We adjust our prevention plans as your pet ages—explore how we support older pets on our Senior Pet Care page.

Annual Pet Wellness Exams

Every pet deserves an annual wellness exam. During these visits, we check your pet from nose to tail, tracking vital signs, dental health, behavior, weight, and more. If needed, we’ll run baseline lab tests to identify early signs of disease. These gentle, fear-free exams help us detect subtle changes and guide recommendations for nutrition, behavior, and home care.

Cat and Dog Vaccinations

Vaccines shield your pet from contagious illnesses and can save their life. At Pet Method, we offer both core and lifestyle-based pet vaccinations for dogs and cats—including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and Bordetella. We’ll develop a personalized vaccine schedule based on your pet’s age, health, and environment. Our team uses fear-free handling techniques to make every visit as low-stress as possible.

Heartworm, Flea & Tick Prevention

Parasites aren’t just irritating—they’re dangerous. From itchy skin and anemia to heart failure caused by mosquito-borne heartworms, these threats are easily preventable with the right plan. We’ll recommend safe, effective heartworm prevention and parasite control tailored to your pet’s risk level and lifestyle. Preventive care also reduces zoonotic risks to your family.

Wellness Labwork & Screening

Even if your pet seems perfectly healthy, routine wellness labs help us catch problems before symptoms appear. Depending on your pet’s needs, we may recommend bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal testing, thyroid screening, or vaccine titers as part of their annual exam. Early detection allows us to manage conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and intestinal parasites before they progress. For more advanced panels and same-day results, we also offer in-house Veterinary Diagnostics & Radiology.

Microchipping

Microchipping is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your pet if they ever get lost. This quick, permanent ID solution is placed under the skin in a single visit—no anesthesia needed. It’s a small step that could make all the difference.
