Small Animal Medicine refers to the treatment and diagnosis of smaller animals, such as dogs and cats but also many other species of animals.

At Seven Hills Veterinary Clinic, we know your pets are more than companions—they’re family. That’s why we offer full-service veterinary care for dogs and cats at every life stage, from playful puppies and curious kittens to beloved senior pets. Whether it’s routine wellness or more specialized care, we’re here to support a lifetime of health and happiness.

Preventative Care

Routine preventive care helps us catch issues early—often before your pet shows symptoms. We recommend annual wellness exams for most pets.

Preventive care may include:

  • A full physical exam
  • Weight and body condition monitoring
  • Parasite screening and prevention (fleas, ticks, heartworms, intestinal worms)
  • Vaccinations
  • Diagnostics
