Tailored Care for Every Age

At VOTS, we know that every dog deserves care tailored to their specific stage of life. From the boundless energy of a new puppy to the quiet wisdom of a senior companion, their health needs change dramatically over time. That’s why we created our Puppy and Senior Dog Packages—thoughtfully designed bundles of care to support your dog through every chapter of their life.

Veterinary care can sometimes feel overwhelming with its timelines, tests, and costs. Our packages simplify this process by providing a clear roadmap for your pet’s health. They offer predictable pricing and a focus on preventative medicine, which is at the heart of our mission. By catching issues early and maintaining wellness, we can help you and your dog avoid unexpected health problems down the road.

The Puppy Package: A Healthy Start for a Happy Life

The first few months of a puppy’s life are a period of rapid growth and development. Their immune systems are still maturing, making this a critical window for establishing a strong foundation of health. The VOTS Puppy Package ensures they receive consistent, essential care during this sensitive time.

What’s Included in the Puppy Package?

Our Puppy Package series is designed to protect your new friend as they grow. The care is broken down by age to deliver exactly what your puppy needs, when they need it most. A typical series, with packages starting at just $45, may include:

• 6-8 Weeks: Wellness Exam, DHPP Vaccine (Distemper/Parvo), and Deworming.
• 9-11 Weeks: Wellness Exam, DHPP Booster, and Deworming.
• 12-14 Weeks: Wellness Exam, DHPP Booster, Leptospirosis Vaccine, Bordetella (Kennel Cough) Vaccine, and Deworming.
• 15-17 Weeks: Wellness Exam, DHPP Booster, Leptospirosis Booster, Rabies Vaccine, and Deworming.

Each visit includes a thorough exam and covers basic deworming for common parasites like roundworms and hookworms.

Why Each Component is Crucial

• Vaccines (DHPP, Rabies, Lepto, Bordetella): These shield your puppy from serious, and often preventable, diseases. Early and consistent vaccination is the most effective defense against illnesses that can be devastating for a young dog.
• Booster Series: Puppies require multiple rounds of vaccines to build strong, lasting immunity as their mother’s antibodies wear off. Following the booster schedule is essential for complete protection.
• Deworming: Intestinal parasites are incredibly common in puppies. They can hinder growth, steal vital nutrients, and cause significant illness. Regular deworming keeps them healthy from the inside out.
• Wellness Exams: Our veterinarians check your puppy’s weight, developmental milestones, and for any early signs of congenital issues or disease.

The Senior Dog: Supporting Their Golden Years

Our dogs age much faster than we do, and their bodies undergo significant changes. As they enter their senior years, the focus of veterinary care shifts from basic disease prevention to early detection of age-related conditions and maintaining their comfort and quality of life.

What Does Our Senior Care Address?

• Comprehensive Exam: We evaluate weight, body condition, joint mobility, and dental health to get a complete picture of your senior dog’s well-being.
• Fecal Test: A fecal test helps us identify internal parasites or digestive issues in senior dogs, ensuring their gut health is on track and catching problems early before they affect overall health.
• Heartworm & Tick-Borne Disease Screening: These parasites pose a threat at any age, and continued prevention is key.
• Tailored Vaccinations: We ensure your senior dog’s immunizations are up-to-date based on their lifestyle and risk factors.
• Pain Management & Nutritional Counseling: Arthritis and changing dietary needs are common in older dogs. We can provide recommendations for joint support, pain management, and senior-specific diets to enhance their comfort.

The Importance of Proactive Senior Care

Many aging dogs are masters at hiding pain or illness. Routine lab work and thorough exams help us detect problems early, when they are most manageable. By investing in their health now, you are investing in more comfortable, active, and happy golden years for your loyal friend.

A Smart Choice for You and Your Dog

Choosing a bundled care package offers numerous benefits. It simplifies decision-making by laying out a clear plan, and it encourages consistency in care, which is vital for long-term health. Ultimately, routine preventative medicine saves money by helping you avoid costly emergencies in the future.

More importantly, regular visits build a trusting relationship between your dog, our clinic, and our staff, making appointments a positive and familiar experience for everyone.
