Pet Wellness & Prevention

Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy.

Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care.

At Westgate Pet & Bird Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment. We would love to partner with you in helping your pet live a long, happy, and healthy life.
