Pet Preventative Care Services in the Greater Rocky Mount, NC Area
At Hicks Animal Clinic, we recommend regular wellness exams to help keep your pets healthy and happy. Annual preventative visits allow our veterinarians to detect potential health issues early and implement preventative therapies that can prolong your pet’s quality of life.
Because dogs and cats age much faster than humans, preventative exams often include both external and internal diagnostics. An external hands-on exam evaluates what can be observed visually, while internal diagnostics uncover health issues that aren’t visible. Based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and medical history, our veterinarians will recommend a personalized preventative care plan during each annual visit.

Timely Pet Vaccinations to Protect Your Furry Friends
Pet vaccinations are essential for protecting your pets against a variety of illnesses and diseases. Even indoor pets can be at risk, making vaccinations a critical part of preventive care.
Pet vaccinations are essential for protecting your pets against a variety of illnesses and diseases. Even indoor pets can be at risk, making vaccinations a critical part of preventive care.
Vaccines are categorized into core and non-core vaccines. Core vaccines are recommended for all pets, regardless of lifestyle. For dogs, core vaccines protect against rabies, canine distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and leptospirosis. For cats, core vaccines protect against rabies, feline distemper, herpesvirus, and calicivirus. Non-core vaccines are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle, breed, and risk factors. Our veterinarians will create a personalized vaccination plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
We typically begin vaccinations in puppies and kittens, followed by annual boosters during your pet’s Annual Wellness Visit. Vaccinations not only protect your pet but also safeguard other animals and family members from preventable diseases. They can also save you money by preventing costly treatments for illnesses that could have been avoided.
Side effects are rare and usually mild, making vaccines a safe and effective way to keep your pet healthy. Keep your beloved companion protected with a customized vaccination plan from Hicks Animal Clinic.
