Pet Wellness Care

Pet Wellness Care in Kane County, McHenry County, Cook County, Dupage County and Lake County

Our time with our pets is always far too short, but we can help you make that time count! Further improvements in veterinary medicine and education enable our pets to live longer than they ever have before, and we’d like to continue this trend. Pet wellness exams are vital to your pet’s health and longevity, because they allow us to proactively prevent disease and other issues. Working collaboratively with pet owners and maintaining a consistent schedule will go a long way towards helping them spend more quality time with their beloved companions.

Dog Wellness Exams

Pet wellness care has various components, from the comprehensive dog wellness exam to laboratory diagnostics. During the dog check up, your veterinarian will check your pet’s weight, temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate, ears, eyes, mouth, skin and coat, joints/limbs, etc. If you have a new puppy, we’ll need to discuss parasite prevention, housebreaking and training, vaccinations, spay and neuter, behavior, nutrition and more to start them off right.

We recommend fecal tests to check for intestinal parasites, which many puppies are born with. We will need to test them again following treatment, to ensure that they’re parasite-free.

Cat Wellness Exam

Your veterinarian will want to see your cat once a year for their pet wellness exam and any additional treatments. During new kitten appointments, we will discuss a variety of topics including litter box training, diet, exercise, microchipping, parasite prevention, and spaying or neutering. Cats also require annual fecal testing, and can be safely treated with medication to eradicate parasites.

Parasite Prevention

Both cats and dogs can fall victim to parasites, but there are many ways to treat and prevent the problems they may cause. We offer various high-quality flea, tick and heartworm preventatives to keep pets protected, and recommend that they be given regularly for maximum effect. Even strictly indoor pets can be vulnerable to parasites; therefore it is better to be safe than sorry.

For the best care, pets need to come in for annual cat & dog wellness exams. Senior pets should see us every six months for a full evaluation and to check for acute or chronic issues. We love seeing our pet patients thriving and greeting us with wagging tails or head rubs! Our goal is always to improve their quality of life and give them many more years to spend with you.

Unfortunately, I recently had to put my cat, Bart, down. I want to commend first, Dr. Kelly Moderhack, for taking such good care of Bart over the years and for her being there for Bart in his last hour. Dr. Kelly provided a very peaceful and tranquil atmosphere for Bart and it was very comforting for us. I also want to commend Dr. Adamo for her excellent bedside manner in giving me the unfortunate news that it was in Bart's best interest to be euthanized. Also, Bonnie, the receptionist, was so compassionate throughout the process and provided a lot of comfort to us. I would never hesitate to bring another pet to Dundee Animal Hospital. Thank you to all of you for being there for us.

Dundee animal hospital is the best vet I've dealt with in 50 years as a pet owner. From the most helpful and knowledgeable front desk, to the kind and caring techs, I trust our pet will get the best care here. The veterinarian docs always have the best care in mind for your pets. I wouldn't trust our four year old Berner with any other practice!

Would like to thank the veterinarian, can’t remember her name, who took care of my Buckley on Saturday 1/11morning for a respiratory/sinus infection. He is doing wonderfully on his medicines. He’s almost back to his old self. Wizzing is gone. I can thank you all enough on taking excellent care of my pride and joy, Buckley
