Routine & Wellness

Regular health and wellness exams are just as important for your pets as they are for you. Animals experience aches and pains, diseases, allergies, infections and many other medical issues just like humans do. The fact that your pets can’t tell you what’s wrong (and often hide their ailments) makes it even more important to have them checked out by professionals—especially when something seems off. At South Boston Animal Hospital, we care about the health and happiness of your pet. And we know it’s essential to detect problems in their earliest stages for the best chance of success and least amount of expense and difficulty.

For unexpected expenses and regular care, pet health insurance is a great option that helps provide the best possible care for your family member. Below is a list of the providers we recommend. Since all insurers cover different medical issues, be sure to do your research to find a plan that works for you. If you decide not get pet health insurance, we suggest saving monthly for unexpected medical expenses.
