Wellness and Prevention

Regular wellness visits are an essential part of maintaining your pet’s overall health. They help in early detection of any underlying medical conditions, providing an opportunity for prompt treatment and preventing serious illnesses. During wellness visits, we will also advise on important preventive services such as vaccinations, nutritional counseling, and routine blood tests. Although it varies with your pet’s age, we typically recommend yearly visits.

So Kind and Understood My Pet’s Needs

My daughter’s dog normally shakes like crazy at a vet office. Not here. She loved it. The staff was very friendly and trustworthy.

So Kind and Understood My Pet’s Needs

Specialized Veterinary Care of Shawano provided exceptional care for both of my cats during two significant events: treating one cat for bladder stones and neutering the other. Their professionalism, thoroughness, and compassion were evident from the start.

So Kind and Understood My Pet’s Needs

Everyone there was amazing with us and our dogs. We have a very old man who’s not comfortable around new people, and he spent the entire time calm and relaxed. We’re very happy we switched vets and we’re looking forward to years of great care.

What is Canine Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy, and how can it benefit my pet?

Canine rehabilitation is a specialized field focused on improving the physical functionality and overall well-being of dogs through structured therapeutic exercises and treatments. It typically involves a tailored combination of physical therapy techniques such as hydrotherapy, laser therapy, therapeutic exercises, and massage, designed to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery from injuries or surgeries. This form of rehabilitation can significantly benefit your pet by enhancing their quality of life, ensuring quicker recovery times, reducing the risk of future injuries, and managing chronic conditions such as arthritis. By addressing specific health issues and improving physical strength, canine rehabilitation enables your pet to lead a more active, pain-free life.

Do I need to give my pets heartworm medication in winter?

Yes, it is essential to continue giving your pets heartworm medication throughout the winter. Heartworm disease, caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites, poses a significant threat to your pet’s health. Heartworm preventatives not only protect against new infections but also eliminate any existing larvae that may have been acquired before winter. Consistently administering heartworm medication year-round ensures comprehensive protection, safeguarding your pet from this dangerous and potentially fatal condition.

What forms of payment do you accept?

At Specialized Veterinary Care of Shawano, we strive to make the payment process as convenient as possible for our clients. We accept a variety of payment methods to cater to your needs, including cash, check, all major credit cards, and CareCredit. This flexibility ensures that you can select the payment option that best suits your financial situation, allowing for hassle-free transactions when it comes to your pet’s healthcare.

I have a senior pet that is experiencing pain. Can you help?

Absolutely, we can help your senior pet manage and alleviate their pain through our comprehensive veterinary services, including specialized canine rehabilitation therapies. Senior pets often suffer from conditions like arthritis, joint pain, or muscle weakness, which can significantly impact their quality of life. Our canine rehabilitation program is specifically designed to address these issues through a series of therapeutic exercises and treatments.
Our dedicated team will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment strategy tailored to your senior pet’s specific needs, ensuring they can enjoy a more comfortable and active life.
