Wellness exams and vaccinations
We’ll check your pet from nose to tail and administer appropriate vaccines to help keep them healthy for the long run.
Bloodwork, diagnostics, and fecal tests
Labwork helps us get a full picture of your pet’s health from the inside out so that we can note, monitor, and act on concerns before symptoms begin to show.
Flea, tick, heartworm, & parasite prevention and treatment
Keeping your pet free from itching, scooting, and any ride-along pests is our priority — not just for their comfort but for their long-term health.

Microchipping
We offer quick, minimally invasive microchipping services to add an extra layer of identification for your pet and increase the chances of reunification if they get lost.

DENTAL CLEANINGS
Did you know? Oral health is the key to overall pet health.
Dental disease in pets has been linked to kidney, heart, and liver disease, in addition to other painful complications. It’s why we include a dental exam in every standard wellness exam, and why we recommend a professional dental cleaning as part of your pet’s annual care.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my pet need wellness exams?
Wellness exams are an important tool in keeping your pet healthy. They establish a record of your pet’s health over the years, making it easier to spot any changes or identify any risks to your pet’s long-term health. Consistent wellness exams also make it easier for your vet to make decisions and diagnoses when an urgent issue arises, since they are up to date on your pet’s needs and history.
How often does my pet need a wellness exam?
Most pets benefit from at least one wellness exam per year. Some pets, depending on age and health conditions, may require two or more wellness exams per year to adequately monitor and manage their health.
Do I need to bring anything additional to a primary care appointment?
We always appreciate a copy of your pet’s medical records if it’s their first time at Lovet and you have them handy, but we can always contact your previous vet if you don’t. Or, if they’re due for a fecal exam, bringing a stool sample can spare your pet some discomfort. You can always call your Lovet team to get personalized answers about what to bring based on your pet’s needs.
Can a wellness exam and vaccinations be done within the same visit?
Yes! If your pet is due for vaccines, we’ll complete those during the wellness appointment.
What payment options does Lovet offer?
We accept all major credit cards and cash. We also offer additional flexibility on payment through CareCredit, Afterpay, and Lovet Pay, our payment plans with a 99% acceptance rate. Learn more about our payment options at Lovet. >
Does Lovet accept insurance to cover primary care appointments?
Yes! We work directly with Trupanion to receive direct payments for added convenience. If you’re not a Trupanion client, we'll happily provide documentation to help you seek reimbursement from your insurance policy of choice.
How long do primary care appointments take at Lovet?
Primary care appointment times at Lovet can vary depending on what needs to be addressed and your pet’s temperament in the exam room. We aim to keep all primary care appointments to around 30 minutes to allow appropriate time to examine your pet and listen to your concerns.
How do I schedule a primary care appointment with Lovet?
Use our convenient online scheduler and click “Routine Check Up,” then pick a time that works best for you! Or call the Lovet location of your choice.
Do you accept walk-ins for primary care appointments?
The quickest and easiest way to get care at Lovet is to schedule an appointment. However, we reserve a few walk-in appointments per day for all types of needs.
Can I bring multiple pets in for one primary care visit?
Usually, we recommend pets are seen one at a time so that they can have your vet’s full attention. Please call your hospital to see if they can accommodate multiple pet appointments.
What if my pet is aggressive or scared when at the vet?
We’ve seen it all at Lovet! We want you and your pet to be as comfortable as possible while you’re in our hospitals, so give us a call ahead of your appointment to see what accommodations we can make for aggressive or scared pets.
