Pet Wellness Care

Pet Wellness Care in Kane County, McHenry County, Cook County, Dupage County and Lake County

Our time with our pets is always far too short, but we can help you make that time count! Further improvements in veterinary medicine and education enable our pets to live longer than they ever have before, and we’d like to continue this trend. Pet wellness exams are vital to your pet’s health and longevity, because they allow us to proactively prevent disease and other issues. Working collaboratively with pet owners and maintaining a consistent schedule will go a long way towards helping them spend more quality time with their beloved companions.

Dog Wellness Exams

Pet wellness care has various components, from the comprehensive dog wellness exam to laboratory diagnostics. During the dog check up, your veterinarian will check your pet’s weight, temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate, ears, eyes, mouth, skin and coat, joints/limbs, etc. If you have a new puppy, we’ll need to discuss parasite prevention, housebreaking and training, vaccinations, spay and neuter, behavior, nutrition and more to start them off right.

We recommend fecal tests to check for intestinal parasites, which many puppies are born with. We will need to test them again following treatment, to ensure that they’re parasite-free.

Cat Wellness Exam

Your veterinarian will want to see your cat once a year for their pet wellness exam and any additional treatments. During new kitten appointments, we will discuss a variety of topics including litter box training, diet, exercise, microchipping, parasite prevention, and spaying or neutering. Cats also require annual fecal testing, and can be safely treated with medication to eradicate parasites.

Parasite Prevention

Both cats and dogs can fall victim to parasites, but there are many ways to treat and prevent the problems they may cause. We offer various high-quality flea, tick and heartworm preventatives to keep pets protected, and recommend that they be given regularly for maximum effect. Even strictly indoor pets can be vulnerable to parasites; therefore it is better to be safe than sorry.

For the best care, pets need to come in for annual cat & dog wellness exams. Senior pets should see us every six months for a full evaluation and to check for acute or chronic issues. We love seeing our pet patients thriving and greeting us with wagging tails or head rubs! Our goal is always to improve their quality of life and give them many more years to spend with you.

I can not thank them enough ❤️❤️ Dr Lupo and his Tech (I believe her name is Brie) literally saved my dogs life Saturday. He's been going there for 11 years and had a reaction to a vaccine that's he's had many times. Brie's quick response to something she knew didn't seem right and Dr Lupo's care they saved my dog's life. I can't thank them enough ❤️

I recently went to Dundee Animal Hospital for euthanasia services for my 15 year old cat. They were very supportive and empathetic to the situation, gave us as much time as we needed to say goodbye, and they were transparent about the pricing. They definitely helped make a sad situation better, and treated my cat with love in her final moments. Thanks to DVM Danielle Adamo, she was awesome

Dr Maras was phenomenal. She seemed like she had a tremendous amount of experience and talked to us in detail about any causes for concern if there were any. We have had nothing but good experience here with the staff and the doctors. Would definitely recommend this hospital to others.

We unexpectedly needed surgery for our 10 year old chocolate lab. From the moment they took her case to the moment we had to sadly say goodbye; we felt so supported and that she was cared for. Even though we didn’t get to bring our Brandy girl home, we are thankful for the care and expertise we received while she was there. I can’t thank the staff enough. Very detail oriented and really showed they cared. Thank you for everything you do. Truthfully. Love, The Wert Family.
