The Pillars of Preventive Care at Woodcliff Lake Veterinary Hospital

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.

Core Vaccines for Dogs
Includes rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and canine hepatitis.

Core Vaccines for Cats
Includes rabies, feline distemper (panleukopenia), and feline herpesvirus.

Lifestyle-Specific Vaccines
To ensure your pet has the most appropriate protection considering their environment and activities, we might recommend additional vaccines such as leptospirosis or Bordetella for dogs and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) for cats.

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.

Flea and Tick Prevention
Fleas cause itchy skin and tapeworms, while ticks spread Lyme disease. We offer topical treatments, oral medications, and collars.

Heartworm Prevention
We provide monthly heartworm prevention medications that are highly effective.

Intestinal Parasite Screening
Regular fecal testing helps detect internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia.

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.

Puppies and Kittens
High-quality diets support rapid growth.

Adult Pets
We provide guidance on portion sizes, feeding schedules, and weight management.

Senior Pets
Specialized diets help manage conditions like arthritis and diabetes.

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.
