Colorado Springs Pet Wellness Programs
Ensure Healthy Pets

Keeping a pet in optimum health requires a regular maintenance plan, and Yorkshire Veterinary Clinic provides that plan in the form of our Colorado Springs pet wellness programs. We tailor our wellness programs to fit the specific needs of each individual pet, depending on the species, breed, age, life-stage, and any environmental or other challenges. After assessing the current health of the pet, our veterinarian proceeds to offer suggestions for preventative measures, diagnostic work-ups, lifestyle modifications, and nutrition. Rather than only treating a pet that has already fallen ill, we provide a program that can help prevent issues before they start and ensure a pet enjoys the healthiest, happiest, and longest life.

Animal Hospital Wellness Plans
Begin by Educating and Working with Pet Owners

Education is a huge part of our wellness plans, and working with pet owners lets our veterinarian be more flexible with recommendations and tailor suggestions that fit with both the pet’s and owner’s lifestyles and needs. Our animal hospital explains and outlines various procedures, preventative measures, beneficial medications – and the importance of an annual exam. Our annual checkup includes a comprehensive physical exam and screening for early signs of disease and any necessary vaccinations.

Vaccinations are one of simplest ways to prevent a wide range of diseases that can be difficult to treat. Core vaccinations, which include rabies, cover those that help prevent the most common diseases in the Colorado Springs area. If a pet is traveling or has unique needs, our vet can recommend additional, non-core vaccinations to cover specific conditions or risks. Enrolling in our wellness plan ensures the pet owner receives the current participant rate for vaccinations due at the time of the annual exam.

Vaccinations are especially vital for puppies and kittens as part of our pediatric pet care. Pediatric pet care focuses on the needs of younger pets, which are highly susceptible to infectious diseases. Very young pets require a series of vaccinations starting when they are typically between 12 and 16 weeks old. Our pet wellness programs include participant rates on the pediatric vaccinations, as well as set rates for spay and neuter procedures.

Spaying and neutering a pet comes with a host of health and behavioral benefits. Although veterinary hospitals used to wait until pets were older, we typically spay and neuter pets between six and eight weeks of age to give them a jumpstart on the procedure's full benefits. Veterinary hospitals remove a female animal’s uterus and ovaries during spaying and a male animal’s testicles during neutering.

Geriatric pet care is another focus in our wellness programs, with our vet providing treatments and recommendations for the special needs of older animals. Specific areas that can require attention include a pet’s immune system, joints, teeth, skin, and intestinal system.

Enrolling in our Colorado Springs pet wellness programs keeps pets covered at all stages of their life, with the personalized care and attention they need and deserve. Call us at 719-602-8652 to schedule an appointment to start you pet’s wellness program today.
