Services
Wellness Exams
Routine wellness exams help keep your pet healthy and allow concerns to be caught early. During a house-call visit, Dr. Jackson will perform a nose-to-tail exam, discuss your pet’s lifestyle and medical history, and answer any questions you have about their health, behavior, diet, or ongoing care.Vaccines
Vaccinations are an important part of protecting your pet from preventable disease. Dr. Jackson can review your pet’s vaccine history and lifestyle to help determine which vaccines are appropriate, then provide needed vaccines in the comfort of your home.Non-Emergency Sick Appointments
For pets who are not feeling well but are not experiencing a true emergency, in-home sick visits can be a less stressful way to get medical guidance. These appointments may be appropriate for concerns such as stomach upset, skin or ear issues, coughing, limping, changes in appetite, or other non-urgent health changes.Lab Work
Lab testing can provide valuable information about your pet’s overall health and help guide medical decisions. Dr. Jackson can collect samples for common diagnostic testing, including blood work, urine testing, fecal testing, and other lab work when appropriate.Senior Pet Care
Older pets often benefit from more personalized, comfort-focused care. Senior pet visits may include wellness exams, lab monitoring, mobility and pain assessments, medication reviews, quality-of-life discussions, and guidance to help your pet stay as comfortable and healthy as possible at home.
