Because a healthy life starts with thoughtful care.
Health Starts with Connection
Pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. That’s why wellness and preventive care is at the heart of everything Valley Veterinary Hospital provides. Thoughtful, consistent checkups lay the groundwork for a long, vibrant life, allowing our veterinarian to monitor changes, address concerns early, and support your pet’s well-being every step of the way.
Through a mix of personalized care, advanced diagnostics, and honest conversation, our team helps families from Phoenixville, Spring City, Pottsdown, Valley Forge, and surrounding areas feel confident about their pet’s health plan. Whether your pet is a curious puppy or a relaxed senior cat, every visit is an opportunity to strengthen their care.
Why Annual Pet Wellness Exams Matter
An annual wellness exam gives us a full picture of your dog or cat’s health. These visits go beyond routine—they build a lifelong health record. We discuss diet, behavior, mobility, and anything else that may have changed since your last visit.
Each pet exam includes:
Preventive care isn’t about reacting to illness. It’s about staying ahead of it.
Vaccinations for Dogs and Cats
No two pets are exactly alike. That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to vaccination. Our team at Valley Veterinary Hospital builds a vaccine schedule that matches your pet’s needs based on age, health, lifestyle, and exposure risk.
For example:
We’re happy to talk through the options with you, whether your cat lounges in Malvern windows or your dog hikes near Valley Forge.
Puppy and Kitten Wellness Visits
Young pets have big needs in their first year. Wellness visits for puppies and kittens include a series of exams and vaccines spaced over a few months to build immunity and screen for congenital conditions. You’ll also receive guidance on:
Bringing your new companion in early gives us the chance to establish trust—and answer all the questions that come with raising a growing pet.
Microchipping for Permanent Identification
Collars can come off. Tags can fall away. A microchip offers secure identification that stays with your pet for life. Implanted under the skin during a brief visit, each microchip links to your contact information through a national registry.
Microchipping is quick, safe, and effective. It’s especially important for families who travel, board their pets, or simply want peace of mind.
If you’re unsure whether your pet is already microchipped, we can scan and confirm during your next visit.
Parasite Prevention Year-Round
Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms aren’t seasonal threats in Pennsylvania—they’re year-round problems. That’s why we offer complete parasite prevention plans for pets across Phoenixville and beyond. We consider:
During wellness exams, we perform fecal testing and heartworm screenings to catch early signs of infection. Prevention is not just more affordable than treatment—it’s also safer.
Caring for Senior Pets
Older pets deserve the same attention and love they’ve given your family for years. As dogs and cats age, their health needs change—sometimes gradually, sometimes quickly. Routine wellness exams become even more important, as many age-related conditions can be managed effectively when caught early. For senior pets, we may recommend:
Whether it’s easing arthritis pain or managing chronic kidney disease, our team works closely with families in Phoenixville, Valley Forge, and beyond to support senior pets in living full, comfortable lives.
Puppy and Kitten Wellness Visits
Young pets have big needs in their first year. Wellness visits for puppies and kittens include a series of exams and vaccines spaced over a few months to build immunity and screen for congenital conditions. You’ll also receive guidance on:
These tools help us detect subtle shifts before symptoms become visible—adding quality and comfort to your pet’s later years.
