Our preventive care program includes wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite screenings, and our exclusive P.A.W. Wellness Plans, giving your dog or cat a strong foundation for a long and healthy life. We are 100% locally owned, with deep roots in this community, and we are not going anywhere.

What Preventive Pet Care Includes

Routine veterinary wellness visits do far more than confirm your pet is healthy today. They help catch early warning signs of illness before they become serious, saving you stress and expense down the road.

Every preventive care visit at Raeford Animal Hospital may include:

  • Annual or semi-annual wellness exams to assess your pet's overall health
  • Core vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus
  • Parasite prevention and testing, including heartworm, fleas, and ticks
  • Bloodwork and routine diagnostics to check organ function and catch hidden conditions
  • Dental health assessments as part of your pet's full physical evaluation
  • Nutritional and lifestyle guidance tailored to your pet's age and breed

We take the time to talk with you, answer your questions, and make sure you leave with a clear picture of your pet's health.
