Pet Wellness & Preventive Care in Dodgeville, WI
Routine wellness and preventive care help keep your pet healthy at every life stage. From puppy and kitten checkups to senior pet exams, our team provides personalized care plans to support a long, happy life.
Lifelong Veterinary Wellness
Preventive care is the foundation of your pet’s health. Regular visits allow our veterinarians to detect early signs of illness, monitor changes over time, and tailor recommendations based on your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle. Whether your companion is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a cherished senior, Dodgeville Veterinary Services provides expert wellness care to meet their unique needs.
Physical Examinations
Comprehensive physical exams are at the heart of every wellness visit. During these exams, our veterinarians assess your pet’s overall health — from teeth, eyes, and ears to the heart, skin, and joints. We also discuss nutrition, behavior, and any changes you’ve noticed at home.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your pet from infectious diseases. Dodgeville Veterinary Services adheres to vaccination guidelines established by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to ensure safe and effective protection.

Our team will recommend a vaccination schedule customized to your pet’s age, health status, and risk factors.
Parasite Prevention
Parasites can harm your pet’s health and even affect your family. Year-round protection against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites is essential for every pet.
- Heartworm Prevention: Spread by mosquitoes, heartworm disease can be fatal if left untreated. We recommend annual testing and monthly preventives for dogs and cats.
- Flea & Tick Control: Fleas cause itching, allergies, and skin infections, while ticks can spread Lyme disease and other illnesses. Our team offers safe, effective topical and oral preventives.
- Internal Parasite Control: Routine fecal testing helps detect intestinal parasites early, preventing discomfort and health risks for your pet and household.
We will create a customized parasite prevention plan to keep your pet healthy and protected throughout the year.
Nutritional Counseling
Proper nutrition is vital to your pet’s long-term health. Our veterinary team provides nutritional counseling to help you choose the right diet for your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle. We address weight management, food sensitivities, and dietary needs related to conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis.
Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk of heart disease, joint problems, and diabetes — helping your pet feel better and stay active.
Behavioral Consultations
Changes in your pet’s behavior can signal stress, fear, or underlying medical concerns. Our veterinarians can help identify the cause and create a management plan to improve your pet’s emotional and physical well-being.
Behavioral consultations cover common issues such as separation anxiety, aggression, house-training difficulties, and age-related behavior changes. By addressing these early, we can restore harmony in your home and strengthen the bond you share with your pet.
Care for Every Life Stage
Your pet’s healthcare needs evolve over time. Our preventive care services are tailored to support every stage of life:
Puppies & Kittens
Frequent visits during the first year help build a strong health foundation through vaccines, parasite prevention, and early nutrition guidance.
Adult Pets
Annual wellness exams and consistent preventive care maintain optimal health and catch early signs of disease.
Senior Pets
Pets over age seven benefit from more frequent exams and diagnostic screenings for conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and kidney disease. Early detection allows us to improve comfort and quality of life.
