Wellness Programs

Reilly Road Animal Hospital is pleased to offer wellness programs for all ages of dogs and cats in the Cumberland County, North Carolina area. Like human medicine, it is important to prevent issues when possible and diagnose problems early, when treatment is more effective. Reilly Road Animal Hospital is fully equipped with cutting edge diagnostic equipment including digital x-ray and a blood work laboratory, as well as the latest medications and preventative medicine protocols.

Wellness programs are most successful when they begin early in the life of a pet. For puppies and kittens, we have designed a wellness program that includes vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and blood work to establish healthy baseline values for your furry family member. Our compassionate staff will also aid you in determining what type of food will be best for their growing bodies. They will provide instructions on how to care for your pet's teeth while they are at home. Finally, a heartworm preventative will be selected for your puppy or kitten, as both are susceptible to this deadly parasite.

As your pet begins to mature, Reilly Road Animal Hospital has a strategy to keep them healthy as well. Maintaining and boosting vaccinations as needed is essential to keep young dogs and cats healthy. Blood work continues to be beneficial at this stage of their lives, and Dr. Stephenson can compare these values to those baseline values established when your pet was younger. Blood work values can help diagnose many disease states much earlier than waiting until a pet begins to exhibit signs of illness. A healthy diet will help keep your pet at a healthy weight, reducing many of the risks associated with obesity, including diabetes and heart disease. Finally, dentistry is still top a priority as your pet begins to mature. Studies indicate that pets receiving regular dental care at home and with a veterinarian can increase their life expectancy by as much as 25%!

Senior furry family members also have a plan to keep them healthy at Reilly Road Animal Hospital. Our special senior friends can expect much of the same level of care they have received during their earlier years. Continued vaccinations, dental examinations, and blood work remain crucial for our aging clients. More frequent examinations and blood work may become necessary at this stage of your cat or dog's life. Finally, diet will need to continue to be monitored to ensure proper nutrition for your pet as they age.

Regardless of the current age of your pet, the wellness programs at Reilly Road Animal Hospital can add to their quality of life. Just like human medicine, disease prevention is always less expensive and more effective than treating a disease once it has manifested.
