Comprehensive Wellness Examinations
Report
The Family Pet recommend that dogs and cats be given a complete annual physical exam and, if appropriate, blood, urine and/or fecal tests, even when there's not a problem. Changes occur from year to year, especially as your pet ages. A comprehensive exam not only allows evaluating your pet for current problems, but also enables us to better understand your pet's specific health needs and develop an individualized preventative health-care program, vaccination protocols, nutrition programs, supplements, parasite control, training, dental care, and breed related disease risk factors are discussed.
Declawing Why We Do NOT Perform This Procedure
Report
Too often, people think that declawing is a simple surgery to remove a cat's nails-the equivalent of having your fingernails trimmed. This is far from the truth. Declawing is not like a manicure. It is serious surgery. The Family Pet will declaw only if there is a legitimate medical reason on the part of the owner or pet such as an immunocompromised owner.
Soft Paws® Nail Caps
Report
The Family Pet recommends the Soft Paws brand which are lightweight vinyl nail shields that are safe, painless, non-toxic caps adhered to your cat's natural nails. The majority of cats need sedation for the application, however once applied, they tolerate Soft Paws extremely well and don't even realize they are wearing them.
