Pet Wellness & Veterinary Services in Yuma

Palo Verde Pet Clinic is focused on providing wellness and veterinary services to Yuma’s pets. Preventive medicine starts with an annual pet wellness exam.

Annual wellness exams evaluate your pet’s overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and keep your pet on track to live a long, happy and healthy life.

The American Animal Hospital Association recommends that pets have a wellness exam at least once per year.

As your pet ages, they recommend more frequent visits. At Palo Verde Pet Clinic, we believe strongly in preventive care and have developed wellness protocols for every stage of your pet’s life.

Pet Vaccinations

Vaccinations are vital to the health and protection of your pet. They are the single most important preventive measure in combating diseases like Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Distemper, Lyme, Panleukopenia, Feline Leukemia, Rabies, and protection against the effects of rattlesnake bites. Vaccinations are particularly important for puppies, kittens, and other young animals that have immature immune systems.

Spay/Neuter

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, nearly 12,500 puppies are born in the United States each hour. Since it’s estimated that stray cats produce an even larger number of kittens, it is easy to see why we have a pet overpopulation problem.

When responsible pet owners spay and neuter, they help eliminate this problem, and put an end to thousands of unnecessary euthanasias and millions of stray animals. Additionally, performing these procedures can minimize behavior problems and help your pet live a longer, healthier life by reducing the likelihood of certain cancers and tumors.

Sick Pet Exams

Examination by an experienced veterinarian, along with diagnostic testing, can identify many types of illness in your pet. Identified early, treatments can occur before a condition worsens, causing your pet more discomfort, and requiring more extensive medical intervention and cost.

If you believe your pet is sick or suffering from some type of medical issue, an examination is the first step to identifying the problem.

End of Life Care

Euthanasia is a humane form of ending the suffering of a pet when they are sick, injured or have reached a point where quality of life has diminished due to age. Euthanizing a pet is not an easy decision. We are here to discuss options and assist in every way possible during this difficult time for your family.

Mass Removal

Many of our dogs and cats will develop a lump or a bump in their lifetime. While most of these masses are not medical emergencies that require immediate removal, these lumps can be problematic, even if they aren’t bothersome for your pet. If you notice a lump or a bump, it’s a good idea to bring your pet in for a consultation with our veterinarian and decide the best course of action.

When should my pet have an examination?

We believe preventive medicine is the best approach to keep a pet healthy.

Preventive care includes annual wellness examinations, vaccinations at regular intervals, parasite prevention, and dietary management.

Instead of waiting until you notice your pet is ill or seems to have problems, preventive care requires more frequent visits to be effective.

An annual or semi-annual examination and preventative treatments lead to a happier and healthier life for your pet.
