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 brought in a cat which wasnt mine on 6/20 around 4:10pm. My sister's cat needed help so I took action. I called when I was en route to get triage somewhat started. Unfortunately by the time I arrived our feline friend has crossed the rainbow bridge. The staff where extremely kind and very compassionate. Thank you for being willing to attempt to help save the cats life. Im sorry we didn't arrive any sooner.

I love this place. After trying a few other vet offices, Dundee Animal Hospital truly stands out. From the front desk staff to the veterinarians, everyone has been kind, helpful, and responsive. My dog is nearing the final stage of his life, and every time I call or visit, we get the care and support we need. Big thank you to the entire team.

The attention given to my pet is amazing. I was a nervous wreck. Everyone from the Front Desk personnel to the assistants to the vet gave my dog top notch care. They got us scheduled, in the room, diagnosed, x-rayed and given medication in a very short time. They answered every question patiently and explained again when I asked. I walked in thinking I might leave alone but the staff was with me all the way through. They are like this all the time.
