Proactive Wellness for a Healthier, Happier Pet Life
Preventative Care in Palo Alto
Our approach to preventative care in Palo Alto is simple: keep your pet healthy before problems start. With preventative care, the expert team at Universal Pet Hospital can detect concerns early, protect against illness, and tailor care to every stage of your pet’s life—from playful puppy to cherished senior.
What’s Included in Preventative Care?
Preventative veterinary care is more than an annual check-up. It’s a personalized plan designed by expert DVMs who understand your pet’s unique needs, lifestyle, and risks. Our Fear-Free Certified team ensures every visit is stress-free and defined by compassion.
Our Preventative Care Services Include:
- Comprehensive wellness exams
- Vaccinations tailored by age and lifestyle
- Parasite screening and prevention (fleas, ticks, heartworm)
- Microchipping for lifetime identification
- Senior pet wellness plans for age-related monitoring
- Lab testing for early detection of internal issues
All care plans are customized, and we take time to walk you through every step, empowering you to make confident and informed decisions for your pet.
Why Preventative Care Matters
Many serious health issues start quietly and are difficult to detect in your pet’s usual interactions with you. By the time symptoms appear, treatment can be more complicated or costly. Routine preventative care helps us:
- Catch illness in its earliest stages
- Prevent the spread of contagious diseases
- Extend your pet’s quality and length of life
- Minimize emergency visits through early action
- Build a complete, ongoing health record
Personalized Wellness at Every Life Stage
Every pet is different, and we offer tailored wellness recommendations based on age, breed, and lifestyle. Whether it’s a first kitten exam or routine care for a beloved senior dog, our team provides ongoing guidance and education.
- Puppies & Kittens: Vaccine schedules, nutrition, behavior
- Adult Pets: Wellness exams, parasite control, dental health
- Senior Pets: Bloodwork, mobility support, cognitive health monitoring
It’s recommended to bring your pet in for preventative care once a year, or twice a year if they’ve reached senior age. We’re committed to working with you to adjust your pet’s care as their needs evolve.
