Hixson Pet Wellness Center

  • What services do you offer at your pet wellness center?

    Our vet office provides comprehensive veterinary care including digital X-rays, in-house lab testing, integrative medicine, dental care, surgery, ultrasound, vaccinations, wellness exams, spay/neuter procedures, microchipping, and compassionate end-of-life services.
  • How often should my pet have a wellness exam?

    Adult pets should have annual wellness exams, while senior pets (over 7 years) benefit from bi-annual checkups. Puppies and kittens need more frequent visits during their first year for vaccinations and monitoring. Consult our vet office today to see if it's time for your pet's wellness exam.
  • What is integrative medicine and how can it help my pet?

    Integrative medicine combines traditional veterinary care with complementary therapies like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional supplements to provide holistic treatment options for various conditions. Ask our veterinarians about integrative medicine options today!
  • What should I bring to my pet's first visit?

    Please bring any previous medical records, current medications, a list of questions, and your pet's favorite treats so our veterinarians can provide the best possible care. For puppies/kittens, bring a stool sample if possible.
  • Does microchipping hurt my pet?

    The procedure is quick and causes minimal discomfort, similar to a routine vaccination. No anesthesia is required, and most pets tolerate it very well. Ask our vet office is microchipping is the right option for your pet.
