Building a Healthy Future for Your Pet

At Safe Harbor Animal Clinic, we believe that regular wellness check-ups are the cornerstone of a long and healthy life for your pet.

From kittens and puppies to adult and senior pets, our dedicated team is here to support your pet’s health at every age.

As part of our wellness check-ups, we emphasize the importance of vaccinations to protect your pet from preventable diseases. Staying up-to-date with vaccinations is essential for your pet’s health and well-being. 

Regular wellness check-ups allow us to build a complete picture of your pet’s health and provide proactive, individualized care. Whether you have a playful kitten, a curious puppy, a vibrant adult, or a beloved senior pet, trust Safe Harbor Animal Clinic to support their health every step of the way. Schedule your pet’s wellness exam today and take an important step in safeguarding their health and happiness for years to come.

Without regular checkups, illnesses can go unnoticed until they’ve progressed, putting pets in discomfort and creating larger health challenges. Our thorough, "nose-to-tail" exams ensure early detection of issues, from small lumps to signs of organ distress. Annual exams set the stage for effective treatment, keeping your pet healthy and preventing future complications.

Your pet’s dental health is key to their overall well-being, yet dental disease is a common issue that often goes unnoticed. Regular dental care keeps your dog or cat free from discomfort, prevents more serious health issues, and lets them live a healthier, happier life.

Facing the end of a pet’s life can be one of the most emotional challenges for a pet owner, filled with uncertainty and difficult decisions. We provide compassionate end-of-life care, including guidance on pain management, quality of life assessments, and euthanasia services when the time comes. Our team supports you with understanding and empathy, helping you create a peaceful and respectful goodbye.

Preparing for travel with your pet can be overwhelming, especially with strict health and documentation requirements. Our travel certification services ensure your pet meets all necessary health requirements, providing you with the proper documentation for both domestic and international travel. We guide you through the process so your pet can join you on your next adventure without hassle.

Without updated vaccinations, pets are vulnerable to life-threatening illnesses. Core vaccinations are essential but need to be tailored to each pet’s lifestyle. We offer core vaccines for key diseases, from parvo to rabies, and design a schedule based on your pet’s risk factors, so they’re protected against the most likely threats.

With so many pet food options, it can be overwhelming to choose the best diet for your pet’s unique needs. Our doctors offer personalized guidance to help you navigate feeding options based on your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle, supporting long-term health through nutrition.

Pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions may need additional support to stay comfortable. We create personalized pain relief plans to help your pet feel their best, whether they’re healing or dealing with a long-term condition.

Young pets need extra protection against illness and guidance as they grow, and new pet owners often have lots of questions. We offer essential vaccinations, deworming, and screenings to keep your puppy or kitten safe and healthy. Plus, our team is here to answer questions on everything from nutrition to behavior, so you feel fully supported.

Fleas, ticks, and heartworms can make pets miserable and bring costly health issues. Preventing infestations is easier—and cheaper—than treating them. Our comprehensive parasite prevention program, which includes screenings and treatments, keeps your pet safe and parasite-free all year round.

Only a small percentage of lost pets are returned to their owners, making microchipping a critical safety net. Our affordable, quick microchipping service greatly increases the chances of your pet finding their way home if they ever go missing.

Behavior changes in pets can signal underlying health concerns or simply create a stressful environment at home. Our team identifies possible medical causes for behavior shifts and offers solutions that promote a calm, balanced life for both you and your pet.

Pets often deal with itchy skin, hair loss, or chronic infections that leave them uncomfortable and disrupt their daily life. Our dermatology services address a wide range of skin and coat conditions, from allergies to infections. Through personalized care, advanced diagnostics, and effective treatments, we relieve your pet’s discomfort and restore their skin and coat health.

Regular wellness exams are the cornerstone of keeping your pet healthy and happy. These comprehensive check-ups allow us to monitor your pet’s overall health, detect potential issues early, and update any necessary vaccinations. From assessing diet and weight to checking for any signs of illness, our wellness exams are designed to keep your pet in the best shape possible at every stage of life.

Vaccinations are crucial in protecting your pet from various contagious and potentially life-threatening diseases. They play a vital role in preventing illness and ensuring a long, healthy life for your furry friend. Vaccinations work by stimulating your pet’s immune system to recognize and combat specific pathogens. Regular vaccinations can protect your pet from serious diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia.

Protect your pet—and your family—from harmful parasites with our comprehensive parasite prevention services. From fleas and ticks to heartworms and intestinal worms, we provide effective treatments and preventive measures to keep your pet healthy year-round. Regular screenings and customized prevention plans help catch and eliminate parasites early, ensuring your pet stays comfortable and parasite-free.

Imagine what your mouth would feel like if you never brushed your teeth or went to the dentist. For many dogs and cats, this is a painful reality. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental (or periodontal) disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets.

Microchipping provides a simple, effective way to ensure your furry friend can be quickly and safely reunited with you if they ever get lost. Our microchipping service is quick, virtually painless, and provides a permanent identification that can’t be removed or lost. Trust us to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is protected with this essential service.

We understand that saying goodbye to a cherished pet is one of the most difficult experiences a pet owner can face. Our compassionate end-of-life care services are designed to provide comfort, support, and dignity for your pet during their final days. 

We are committed to providing the most advanced and effective treatments for your pet’s well-being. Laser Therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, offering a non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free, and drug-free solution for a variety of conditions. This innovative therapy is ideal for treating acute and chronic injuries, arthritis, back disc problems, and muscular-skeletal abnormalities. It also promotes nerve regeneration post-surgery and can significantly enhance your pet’s recovery and overall quality of life.

We understand that skin problems in dogs and cats can cause significant discomfort and distress. Our comprehensive dermatology services are designed to diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions, ensuring your pet’s health and comfort. Skin issues can arise and can be particularly challenging to treat and require prompt and expert attention.

Starting life with the best health is essential for puppies and kittens. We’ll ensure your puppy or kitten is protected against rabies, distemper, and other diseases, including parvovirus for puppies and panleukopenia for kittens. Depending on your pet’s specific risk, we may also recommend additional vaccines like feline leukemia (FeLV) or canine leptospirosis.

As dogs and cats get older, they need more attention and special care. Our senior wellness program can help your pet remain fit and healthy as he or she ages and help us catch any potential problems earlier, when they’re easier to treat or manage. Regular veterinary exams can actually help your pet live longer, too!
