What’s Included in Our Wellness and Preventive Care
Wellness services at Noah’s Ark Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic go far beyond a quick exam — they’re designed to give your pet the thorough, thoughtful attention they deserve at every stage of life. Our affordable, high-quality preventive care includes:
Comprehensive Physical Exams
Each visit starts with a full head-to-tail exam, carefully checking your pet’s eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, and joints. These detailed evaluations help us catch health concerns before they become serious problems.
Customized Vaccination Plans
Vaccines are important for preventing dangerous diseases. We’ll build a personalized vaccination schedule based on your pet’s species, age, lifestyle, and unique risk factors — so they’re always protected without unnecessary shots.
Parasite Testing & Prevention
Parasites like fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms can harm pets year-round in Columbia. We offer safe, effective testing and prevention plans to keep your furry or feathered family members healthy and comfortable.
Dental Health Assessments & Care
Dental disease is one of the most common — and overlooked — problems in pets. We provide thorough oral exams, professional cleanings, and affordable dental radiography to find and treat issues below the gum line. Good dental care helps pets avoid pain, infection, and systemic health issues.
Nutritional Counseling
Proper nutrition is the foundation of lifelong health. Our team offers practical, personalized advice on diet choices, weight management, special diets, and more to help pets stay fit and energetic at every age.
Senior Pet Wellness Plans
Older pets need extra care. We tailor wellness visits for senior dogs, cats, and pocket pets with specialized screenings for arthritis, organ function, cognitive changes, and other age-related concerns — giving you peace of mind and helping your pet age gracefully.
