At Lincoln Avenue Cat & Dog Hospital, we believe that primary and preventative care are the keys to keeping your furry family members healthy and happy for years to come. That’s why we offer a range of primary and preventative care services designed to detect and treat health issues before they become more serious.

Our primary care services include regular wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, spays, neutering and more. During wellness exams, our experienced veterinarians will perform a comprehensive physical exam and recommend any necessary preventative measures to keep your pet healthy.

Providing general and preventative care for exotic animals is essential for their health, longevity, and overall well-being. Exotic pets, such as reptiles, birds, small mammals, and other unique species, often have specialized needs that differ greatly from more traditional pets like cats and dogs. Regular veterinary check-ups help detect potential health issues early, and tailored preventative care—including proper diet, environmental enrichment, and parasite control—ensures these animals can thrive in captivity. Additionally, monitoring and guidance from an experienced exotic animal veterinarian are key to meeting the specific dietary and habitat requirements these pets need to stay healthy. Our team is committed to providing compassionate, knowledgeable care, ensuring exotic pets receive everything needed to lead happy, healthy lives.

Vaccinations are an important part of preventative care, and we offer a range of vaccines that protect against common diseases. We also offer parasite prevention services, including flea and tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and deworming.

In addition to our primary care services, we also offer a range of preventative care services that can help detect health issues early on, when they are easier to treat. These services include diagnostic testing, such as blood work and x-rays, as well as dental cleanings and routine screenings for conditions such as cancer and heart disease.

Did You Know? Birds’ respiratory systems are so sensitive that fumes from common household items—like non-stick cookware, scented candles, and aerosol sprays—can be harmful or even fatal. Keeping a bird-safe environment means choosing pet-friendly alternatives to protect your feathered friend’s delicate respiratory system!
