outcomes. Our facility offers comprehensive medical diagnostic testing
and treatments for dogs and cats. This includes diagnosis and treatment
of cancer, heart disease, endocrine disorders such as diabetes,
metabolic disorders such as kidney disease and a wide range of other

Complete
Puppy & Kitten Care
 Everyone
knows how important vaccinations, flea control, and parasite prevention
are to the well being of our pets. Often overlooked however, is the
important role spaying and neutering play in maintaining good health.
Shiloh
Veterinary Hospital strives to make high quality pet care affordable
and available to our clients.
Puppy
and kitten care begins at 6-8 weeks of age and continues through 4-6
months of age when pets are able to be spayed and neutered. Boosters
vaccinations are administered every 3 weeks coupled with 2 dewormings;
Heartworm and Flea/Tick prevention are introduced and behavior issues
are addressed. Our staff will educate first time owners on how to
create a quality relationship with a new furry friend.

 Adult
Wellness Program:
Our
annual Adult Wellness Program is tailored to meet the needs of pets
between the ages of 1-6.
During
your wellness visit, your veterinarian will perform a full head to tail
physical exam and also address any concerns you may have about your
pet's current health status. We will also perform a complete parasite
check, including testing for intestinal parasites and lyme/heartworm
disease screening, and tailor a vaccination program to your pet's
individual lifestyle. We prescribe necessary parasite protection such
as strategic intestinal parasite deworming, heartworm, flea, and tick
prevention. We make recommendations regarding home health care of your
pet's teeth and any necessary dental cleanings which can be scheduled
right here in our office at the end of your visit. Additionally, we
offer nutritional and behavioral counseling to our clients. We perform
optional blood tests for many of our adult pets to monitor baseline
values, offer peace of mind, and detect problems early as part of our
effort to exercise preventative medical care. You will receive a full
report card at the end of the visit detailing the findings of the exam,
and it will include any recommendations made by your veterinarian. Our
goal is to ensure that you and your pet get to live long and healthy
lives together.
Senior
Wellness Program:
Our
Senior Wellness Program includes a visit with our veterinarian every
six months (which is like your going to the doctor every 3.5 years) and
is tailored to meet the needs of our pets 7 years and older. During the
wellness visit, your veterinarian will perform a complete physical
exam, including an oral exam, on your pet. Depending on your pet's
needs, we will measure blood pressure and screen for Glaucoma. We will
also perform a complete parasite check including testing for intestinal
parasites and heartworm disease and tailor a vaccination program to
your pet's individual lifestyle. We prescribe necessary parasite
protection such as strategic intestinal parasite deworming and
heartworm, flea and tick prevention. We make recommendations regarding
home health care of your pet's teeth and any necessary dental cleanings
which can be scheduled right here in our office. We also offer to our
senior patients baseline blood work which is performed to help monitor
baseline values, monitor chronic medical conditions, and detect onset
of disease early, when treatment and prevention are most effective. You
will receive a detailed report card at then end of your visit detailing
the findings of the exam, and it will include any recommendations made
by your veterinarian. Our goal is for you and your pet to fully enjoy
every day of your life together for as long as possible.
