Wellness and Preventive Care for Dogs and Cats at Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital
A small investment in your pet’s health now can save you big costs later. At Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital, we know that your pet is a beloved member of your family. Our wellness and preventive care services are designed to keep your dog or cat healthy, happy, and thriving. Located at 160 Broadway, Woodcliff Lake, NJ, our experienced team offers customized care for your furry companions, focusing on three important areas: vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling.
Proactive care is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. Regular check-ups, preventive treatments, and proper nutrition can prevent many common illnesses and help detect potential health issues early.
The Pillars of Preventive Care at Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital
1. Vaccinations: Protecting Your Pet from Preventable Diseases
Vaccines are one of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your dog or cat from life-threatening illnesses. At Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital, we provide personalized vaccination plans tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health needs.
Vaccinations not only protect your pet but also prevent the spread of dangerous diseases within the community.
2. Parasite Prevention: Keeping Pests at Bay
Parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms can harm your pet’s health. Prevention is key, and our team offers safe, effective solutions to protect your dog or cat year-round.
The Year-Round Approach:
Parasites are not just a summer problem. Our team works with you to establish year-round prevention plans.
3. Nutritional Counseling: Building a Healthier Future
Proper nutrition is vital to your pet’s overall well-being. At Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital, we offer customized dietary guidance for every stage of your pet’s life.
Weight Management:
Obesity is a common issue in pets. During wellness visits, we assess your pet’s body condition and provide strategies for maintaining a healthy weight.

What to Expect During a Wellness Visit
When you bring your dog or cat to Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital, expect a thorough and compassionate approach:
- Physical Examination
Head-to-tail check of overall health, including weight, coat condition, and dental health.
- Vaccination Plan
We review your pet’s vaccination history and administer any necessary boosters.
- Parasite Check
Routine screenings for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites.
- Dietary Discussion
We assess your pet’s current diet and recommend improvements.
Bloodwork, urine analysis, or imaging may be recommended based on your pet’s health.
Microchipping Services for Dogs and Cats
We offer professional microchipping services, providing permanent identification for your pet in case they ever get lost. A microchip is a small, rice-sized device implanted under your pet’s skin that can’t be lost or removed.
Benefits of Microchipping
- Permanent Identification
Unlike collars, microchips can’t be lost or tampered with.
- Nationwide Recovery
Shelters and veterinary clinics can scan microchips to reunite lost pets with their families.
- Quick and Painless Procedure
It’s a fast, minimally invasive procedure.
When Should You Microchip Your Pet?
Microchipping is ideal during early vet visits, or when pets are here with us to be spayed/neutered. It’s also beneficial for adult pets who haven’t been chipped yet.
Health Certificates for Domestic Travel
Planning to travel with your pet? We provide health certificates for domestic travel, ensuring your pet meets all health and safety regulations. A health certificate (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection) confirms that your pet is free from contagious diseases and healthy for travel. It’s often required when flying or crossing state lines.
What to Expect:
- Pre-Travel Health Exam
We ensure your pet is healthy for travel.
- Vaccination Verification
We check that your pet’s vaccinations are up to date.
- Flea and Tick Prevention
Some airlines or states require proof of flea and tick prevention.
- Issuing the Certificate
After meeting all requirements, we provide the certificate.
Why Do You Need a Health Certificate?
Airlines and state authorities require it to ensure pet health and prevent the spread of diseases.
Same-Day Appointments and Drop-Off Services
We know that sometimes your pet’s needs can arise unexpectedly. That’s why we offer same-day appointments and drop-off services to accommodate your schedule. Whether your pet needs a wellness check, vaccination, or microchipping, we are here to help and make the process as convenient as possible.
