Canine Wellness Care

Canine Wellness Exams

Annual wellness exams are essential in preventing disease and illness for your pets to maintain optimal health. During this exam our doctors will discuss vaccinations, dental care, skin issues, diet & nutrition, and preventative care, along with any additional questions or concerns you may have about their overall health and well-being.

Our exams include a full review of your dog’s health history, including vaccines and behavioral concerns. During this exam, the doctor and veterinary technician will assess the annual health condition, check vitals, and do a thorough dental evaluation. Preventative care diagnostics, such as blood work, may be offered for early diagnosis of unforeseen problems. These diagnostics will give our veterinarians a baseline to tell us what is normal for your pet, and a chance to treat disease early.

Canine wellness exams are completed to American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) standards. Our yearly Canine Wellness Package offers gold-standard preventative care for dogs at every stage of life, with a built-in 35% savings to make staying on top of your pet’s health easier than ever!

Canine Wellness Vaccinations

Updated vaccinations are important to keep your pet healthy, and protected against common viruses and bacteria. Groomers, training centers, and daycares require up-to-date vaccinations for your pet to be accepted for their services.

Many factors are taken into consideration regarding your canine’s vaccinations such as age, breed, and lifestyle. We recommend the following vaccinations as a consistent baseline for each dog:

Rabies
Distemper
Parvovirus
Bordatella
Leptospirosis
Lyme

Healthy pets require yearly physicals, intestinal deworming and vaccines to prevent illness. Only your veterinarian can determine the best course of treatment for your pet.

Less Stress, More Tail Wags!

We know vet visits can be stressful — for pets and their people! At McBride, we use a combination of comfort-focused design and gentle care practices to help every visit feel calmer and more comfortable for your furry friend.

Happy Visits

Sometimes a visit is just about building trust! We offer free Happy Visits during our regular business hours, which let your pet stop by for treats, praise, and positive experiences with our team — no exams required — so the clinic becomes a place they feel good about.

Non-Slip Flooring

Secure footing matters. Our non-slip flooring helps pets feel steady and confident as they move through the hospital, reducing fear and preventing slips or falls.

Calm Music

Soft, calming music plays throughout the hospital to help reduce stress and create a soothing atmosphere. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference for anxious pets.

PVPs (Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals)

For pets who need a little extra support, pre-visit pharmaceuticals can help take the edge off anxiety before they arrive. Used thoughtfully and safely, they make appointments smoother and less stressful for everyone involved.

Pheromones

We use calming pheromones throughout the hospital to help pets feel more relaxed in an unfamiliar environment. These scent signals are species-specific and naturally reassuring.

Quiet Exam Rooms

Our exam rooms are designed to be calm, quiet spaces with minimal distractions. Less noise and movement means pets can settle in more easily and feel secure during their visit.
