Comprehensive Wellness Care for Happy, Healthy Pets

At Bostic Veterinary Hospital, we prioritize your pet’s health and happiness with comprehensive wellness care tailored to their unique needs. Regular exams and vaccinations are key to ensuring your pet’s long-term well-being, helping us detect and prevent potential health issues early.

Each visit includes a detailed medical history review and a thorough physical exam by our experienced veterinarians. We provide personalized vaccination plans based on your pet’s lifestyle and essential heartworm and parasite prevention to keep them safe year-round. For pets over 7, we recommend semi-annual exams and routine geriatric blood panels to catch and manage age-related conditions early.

Early detection and treatment improve quality of life, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy as they age. Because pets age faster than humans, consistent veterinary care is vital to helping them live long, active lives.

Other Services

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
