- Dental CareDental care is one of the most important preventative health measures you can take and, unfortunately, one of the most overlooked aspects of your pet's health. Poor oral hygiene often allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream and serve as a source of kidney, liver and heart infections.
- VaccinationWilmington Veterinary Hospital offers extensive services to aide you in the care of your pet to maintain good health. From your pet's infancy to adulthood WVH will provide guidelines and schedules to keep your pet healthy with routine exams, vaccinations, recommendations for dental care as well as spaying or neutering. As your pet reaches his or her senior years screening will be performed to detect and treat health issues early to maintain your pet's quality of life.
- Nutritional CounselingPanleukopenia, also called feline distemper, is extremely contagious and often fatal disease. It causes fever, loss of appetite, severe diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration.
- Comprehensive ExaminationFor the first few months, as you bring your puppy or kitten in for his/her initial wellness exam and series of booster shots, you will be visiting us several times. We ask that you bring in any previous health records or certificates for your pet and a stool sample to test for intestinal parasites (especially since humans can potentially develop serious problems if exposed to immature forms of roundworms or hookworms).
- Parasites Treatment and Control*Additional vaccine recommended for outdoor cats is FIV. Please ask us for more information at the time of your pet’s visit! We will be more than happy to go over any questions you may have.

- Spaying and NeuteringNeutering dogs decreases territorial aggression and the risks of prostate and rectal cancers later in life. WVH honors SNAP vouchers for this procedure.
- Laboratory ServicesThe A.V.M.A. (American Veterinary Medical Association) endorses 2 visits per year for companion animals - one for urinalysis and blood work and one visit for vaccines. This is because our beloved pets age an average of 7 years for each 1 human year. Your pet's health can change quickly over a one-year period, making it more difficult to prevent, detect and treat conditions early. Ensure your pet’s health and your peace of mind by scheduling him/her for semi-annual visits.
