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.

We can recommend a highly personal and specific wellness program based on your pet's breed, age, lifestyle and overall health. Your pet’s health and wellness program may include:

• Vaccinations
• Heartworm prevention
• Routine deworming
• General chemistries
• Specialized testing, including blood count, electrolytes, coagulation panels, bile acids and more


We are a full service hospital offering pet care services ranging from preventative wellness to diagnostic and surgical care. Many of our tests are performed in-house on fully updated lab equipment. At South Boston Animal Hospital, we are dedicated to doing all we can to help you enjoy a long and healthy relationship with your pet.

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.
