Wellness & Preventive Care
Ensuring a Long, Healthy Life for Your Pet
At Broadway Animal Hospital of Riverdale, we’re committed to helping your pet live the healthiest life possible.
Annual exams play a key role in preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases early—often before symptoms appear—ensuring your pet stays pain-free and happy. We recommend a physical exam at least once a year for adult pets.
Our thorough nose-to-tail exams provide a clear picture of your pet’s health and help us detect any changes since their last visit. If you’ve recently welcomed a new pet, we encourage you to schedule their first exam to establish a health baseline, ensure vaccinations, and give you peace of mind about their well-being.
Let us partner with you in providing the best start for your pet’s long and healthy life.
Other Services
Wellness Exam
Without regular checkups, illnesses can go unnoticed until they’ve progressed, putting pets in discomfort and creating larger health challenges. Our thorough, “nose-to-tail” exams ensure early detection of issues, from small lumps to signs of organ distress. Annual exams set the stage for effective treatment, keeping your pet healthy and preventing future complications.
Vaccinations
Without updated vaccinations, pets are vulnerable to life-threatening illnesses. Core vaccinations are essential but need to be tailored to each pet’s lifestyle. We offer core vaccines for key diseases, from parvo to rabies, and design a schedule based on your pet’s risk factors, so they’re protected against the most likely threats.
Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, and heartworms can make pets miserable and bring costly health issues. Preventing infestations is easier—and cheaper—than treating them. Our comprehensive parasite prevention program, which includes screenings and treatments, keeps your pet safe and parasite-free all year round.
Dental Care
Your pet’s dental health is key to their overall well-being, yet dental disease is a common issue that often goes unnoticed. Regular dental care keeps your dog or cat free from discomfort, prevents more serious health issues, and lets them live a healthier, happier life.
Diet & Nutrition
With so many pet food options, it can be overwhelming to choose the best diet for your pet’s unique needs. Our doctors offer personalized guidance to help you navigate feeding options based on your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle, supporting long-term health through nutrition.
Microchipping
Only a small percentage of lost pets are returned to their owners, making microchipping a critical safety net. Our affordable, quick microchipping service greatly increases the chances of your pet finding their way home if they ever go missing.
End of Life
Facing the end of a pet’s life can be one of the most emotional challenges for a pet owner, filled with uncertainty and difficult decisions. We provide compassionate end-of-life care, including guidance on pain management, quality of life assessments, and euthanasia services when the time comes. Our team supports you with understanding and empathy, helping you create a peaceful and respectful goodbye.
Pain Management
Pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions may need additional support to stay comfortable. We create personalized pain relief plans to help your pet feel their best, whether they’re healing or dealing with a long-term condition.
Behavior Management
Behavior changes in pets can signal underlying health concerns or simply create a stressful environment at home. Our team identifies possible medical causes for behavior shifts and offers solutions that promote a calm, balanced life for both you and your pet.
Travel Certificates
Preparing for travel with your pet can be overwhelming, especially with strict health and documentation requirements. Our travel certification services ensure your pet meets all necessary health requirements, providing you with the proper documentation for both domestic and international travel. We guide you through the process so your pet can join you on your next adventure without hassle.
Puppy & Kitten Care
Young pets need extra protection against illness and guidance as they grow, and new pet owners often have lots of questions. We offer essential vaccinations, deworming, and screenings to keep your puppy or kitten safe and healthy. Plus, our team is here to answer questions on everything from nutrition to behavior, so you feel fully supported.
Dermatology
Pets often deal with itchy skin, hair loss, or chronic infections that leave them uncomfortable and disrupt their daily life. Our dermatology services address a wide range of skin and coat conditions, from allergies to infections. Through personalized care, advanced diagnostics, and effective treatments, we relieve your pet’s discomfort and restore their skin and coat health.
