Why Wellness Care Matters
Preventive veterinary care is key to maintaining the health and longevity of pets and livestock. Regular check-ups allow our veterinary team to detect early signs of illness, prevent contagious diseases, and reduce long-term medical costs.
Early Detection of Health Issues
Many diseases—such as heart disease, infections, and cancer—progress silently before symptoms appear. Routine exams help identify subtle health changes, allowing for timely intervention and better treatment outcomes.
Protection from Preventable Diseases
Vaccinations protect animals from highly contagious and life-threatening illnesses like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis. For livestock, vaccinations help prevent herd-wide outbreaks, ensuring productivity and farm sustainability.
Compliance with State Vaccination Laws
Some vaccines—such as rabies for dogs and cats—are required by Iowa law. Certain livestock vaccines are also necessary for breeding, transport, or sale. Staying compliant protects public health and prevents legal issues.
Long-Term Cost Savings
Preventive care reduces medical expenses by preventing costly illnesses. Treating advanced diseases, infections, or injuries is often more expensive than routine wellness exams, vaccines, and early intervention.
Enhanced Lifespan & Well-Being
By addressing small health concerns early, animals avoid painful conditions and emergency medical care.
By prioritizing wellness care, pet owners and farmers ensure their animals live healthier, longer lives while minimizing medical costs.

2. Microchipping for Dogs & Cats
Microchipping is a safe and permanent form of pet identification that significantly increases the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners. Unlike collars and tags, microchips do not fall off or fade over time.

3. Wellness Care for Large Animals
Farmers and ranchers depend on healthy livestock for productivity and sustainability. Routine wellness care helps prevent disease, improve breeding success, and enhance herd management.
1. Herd Health Management & Vaccination Programs
Preventive care helps reduce disease outbreaks and maintain herd productivity. Vaccination programs are customized to herd size and risk factors, while deworming prevents parasites that impact growth and reproduction. Nutritional consultations support optimal health and performance.
2. Routine Disease Screenings & Health Exams
Early detection prevents major health issues. Reproductive exams improve breeding success, while hoof evaluations ensure mobility. Infectious disease testing and nutrition monitoring help maintain herd health and efficiency.
3. Deworming & Parasite Control
Parasites cause weight loss and disease, reducing livestock productivity. Deworming schedules control internal parasites, while external parasite treatments prevent ticks, mites, and lice. Fly control programs protect against insect-borne illnesses.
