Preventive care for longer, healthier, happier lives.

At Mesa West Pet Hospital, we believe preventive care is the key to longer, healthier, and happier pet lives. We partner with pet owners to provide individualized, comprehensive wellness services that keep their pets optimally healthy and detect potential problems early.

The cornerstone

Wellness visits

Annual or semi-annual wellness visits are the cornerstone of your pet's preventive healthcare plan. Wellness visits are essential because they allow us to establish a health baseline and monitor your pet for changes over time. They also allow for early disease detection, which leads to more effective treatment and better outcomes.

During a wellness visit, our veterinarians conduct a thorough physical and behavioral assessment. You are encouraged to ask questions and raise any concerns you might have, and we'll discuss recommended products or services to keep your pet in optimal condition.

Nose to tail

Physical exams

Our veterinarians perform a comprehensive physical exam each time your pet visits. Wellness exams focus on detecting common health issues that may go unnoticed at home, such as dental disease, a heart murmur, or arthritis. We check your pet from nose to tail, including their eyes, ears, mouth, skin, and coat, as well as their cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems. Our approach is thorough, compassionate, and fear-free, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for during the exam.

Protection

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are essential for preventing infectious diseases that can cause serious health issues. By vaccinating your pet, you not only protect them but also help control the spread of pet diseases in the community. Our hospital offers a full range of core and non-core vaccines for cats and dogs, and will work with you to develop a customized vaccine protocol.

Canine vaccines

Rabies
Distemper, parvovirus & adenovirus (DAPP)
Leptospirosis
Bordetella
Canine influenza

Feline vaccines

Rabies
Feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia (FVRCP)
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV)

Vaccine titers

Vaccine titers are blood tests that measure your pet's antibody levels to determine if booster vaccinations are necessary. Helpful for pets with a history of adverse reactions, or for pet parents who prefer them. Titers are available for select vaccinations and don't replace vaccination — they help you make more informed decisions about your pet's care.

Year-round

Parasite prevention

Parasite prevention protocols protect your pet from the serious health issues caused by fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms. Effective prevention also reduces the risk of parasite transmission to other household pets and vulnerable family members, especially children. Our veterinarians assess each pet's lifestyle to develop a year-round prevention plan.

Early detection

Wellness diagnostics & early disease screening

Routine wellness diagnostics and screening tests help catch health issues early, often before symptoms appear at home. Early detection allows more effective treatment and can add years to your pet's life. Our hospital offers a range of diagnostic tests, including blood tests, urinalysis, and diagnostic imaging.
