Individualized and
Preventative Care

At RRVC it’s all about prevention! Annual wellness visits are a perfect time to address your pet’s healthcare needs and formulate a personalized plan to keep your pet healthy and happy for as long as possible.

Your pet’s visit will begin with a complete ‘nose to tail’ examination. Pets age much faster than humans and are masters at hiding pain and illness. Routine physical examinations allow the veterinarian to pick up on subtle changes that may indicate early disease. We will let you know if we find anything abnormal and we will discuss any further testing that may needed.

In addition to a complete exam, we will also discuss your pet’s lifestyle, behavioral concerns and breed specific risk factors. This will allow us to determine which vaccines, parasite preventatives and screening tests will be the best fit for your pet. At RRVC we believe that food is medicine and each visit will also include an individualized nutritional assessment.

Fear Free

Veterinary care does not have to be scary. We recognize that each pet is an individual with preferences and dislikes. At Root River Veterinary Center we promise to go the extra mile to make your pet’s visit as comfortable as possible. From pheromone infused towels and tasty treats, to gentle touch and sedation when appropriate, we will do our best to make your visit a positive experience.
