Wellness Exams &
Routine Checkups
Consistent, thorough pet physical exams are the foundation of our pet wellness care program. We recommend wellness exams and lab work every six months so we can:
- Monitor weight, dental health, heart, lungs, and more
- Screen for early signs of disease. Learn more about our diagnostic services.
- Track changes over time
- Keep vaccinations and preventives up to date
- Build a health history unique to your pet
Regular exams allow us to catch subtle signs of illness early—when they’re often easier and more affordable to treat.

Keeping your pet protected from preventable diseases is a critical part of wellness care. At Boston Animal Hospital, we tailor each vaccination plan to your companion’s age, health status, and lifestyle.
Core Vaccines for Dogs:

- Feline leukemia (FeLV)
Our team will help you understand which shots are essential and which are recommended based on your pet’s risk factors.

Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworms can cause serious health issues—and they’re more common than many pet owners realize. We provide a full suite of pet parasite prevention services, including:
- Monthly heartworm preventatives
- Flea and tick control (oral or topical)
- Annual fecal exams to detect intestinal parasites
- Tick-borne disease screening
- Education on year-round prevention strategies
Parasite control protects not only your pet but also your household, as some parasites are zoonotic (transmissible to humans).
Veterinary Nutrition &
Weight Management
Good health begins with good nutrition. Our veterinary nutrition consultations are tailored to your pet’s specific needs, including age, breed, medical history, and lifestyle.
We offer:
- Customized feeding plans
- Weight loss support
- Advice on life-stage transitions (puppy/kitten to adult, adult to senior)
- Help choosing the best food for your pet’s needs
Whether you’re managing obesity, chronic conditions, or simply want to optimize your pet’s diet, we’re here to help with expert, evidence-based guidance.
