Lifelong Wellness Care
for Pets in Myrtle Beach
At Myrtle Beach Animal Hospital, we believe the best medicine is preventive medicine. Regular wellness care not only helps catch issues early but also allows us to understand your pet’s health baseline, making it easier to detect subtle changes before they become serious problems.
Our Approach to Preventive Care
We believe that preventive care goes beyond annual checkups to provide the most effective preventive care at every stage of life:
- Early detection: Identifying health concerns before they progress.
- Root-cause focus: Finding the underlying reason for symptoms instead of just addressing them on the surface.
- Baseline health monitoring: Tracking your pet’s health year after year to spot changes quickly.
This proactive approach supports your pets' health to help them live long, happy, and healthy lives.
Wellness Care Through All Ages and Stages
Every stage of your pet’s life comes with unique needs. That’s why our wellness care is tailored to puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors.
Puppies and Kittens
During the early weeks of your pet’s life, puppies and kittens require more frequent visits to ensure proper development. These visits offer:
- Vaccinations to protect against common illnesses
- Fecal checks and urine samples to monitor intestinal and urinary health
- Guidance on nutrition, behavior, and preventive care.
- Spay and neuter counseling based on your pet’s specific needs.
Our goal is to set your puppy or kitten up for a lifetime of good health by addressing issues early and establishing a strong foundation.
Adult Dogs and Cats
Annual wellness exams are essential. These visits help our veterinary team to maintain an up-to-date picture of your pet’s health with:
- Heartworm and parasite testing and prevention.
- Nutritional counseling tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and needs.
- Behavioral guidance to address concerns early.
- Vaccination boosters and ongoing preventive care.
Routine visits help to ensure that small issues don’t grow into bigger health problems.
Senior Pets
As pets enter their senior years, they require more frequent monitoring and care, including:
- Biannual checkups to stay ahead of age-related changes.
- Annual bloodwork to detect early signs of disease.
- Pain and mobility assessments to identify arthritis or discomfort.
- Behavioral evaluations to catch cognitive changes early.
Senior wellness care focuses on maintaining comfort, managing chronic conditions, and ensuring your pet continues to live with the best quality of life possible.
Building Lasting Relationships
At Myrtle Beach Animal Hospital, wellness care is more than a checklist—it’s a partnership. We take the time to explain the “why” behind every test and treatment, so you feel informed and confident about your pet’s care. By fostering strong relationships with both pets and pet parents, our veterinary team ensures preventive care is always tailored, compassionate, and effective.
Preventive care is one of the greatest gifts you can give your pet. Whether you’re starting with a new puppy or kitten, maintaining your adult pet’s health, or supporting a beloved senior, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
