Common Questions About Pet Wellness Care
Pet owners across Madison Heights often ask how preventive care helps their pets stay healthy year after year. Here, the veterinarians at Oak Animal Hospital answer some of the most frequently asked questions about exams, vaccines, and overall wellness.
How often should my dog or cat have a wellness exam?
Most pets should visit Oak Animal Hospital in Madison Heights at least once a year for a comprehensive wellness exam. Puppies, kittens, and senior pets may need more frequent visits to monitor growth and detect changes early.
What vaccines does my pet need?
We tailor vaccine schedules to each pet’s lifestyle and risk. Core vaccines, such as rabies and distemper, protect against severe illnesses, while lifestyle vaccines (like Bordetella) are recommended for social or boarding pets.

Monthly prevention is key. Our veterinarians will recommend safe, effective parasite control products based on your pet’s age, health, and environment to protect against common Michigan pests.

Routine bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal testing help us track organ function, detect infection, and identify disease before symptoms appear — keeping your pet healthier for longer.
