Heart worm testing and Parasite Prevention
Dangerous parasites are always present in the environment. We recommend regular fecal checks and annual testing for Heartworm as the best way to prevent parasitic disease and the transmission of intestinal parasites to your pet and your family.
External Parasites (fleas, ticks) and internal Parasites (heartworm, hookworm, roundworm) can cause problems for your pet and your family. Prevention is the best approach to eliminating these pests. Please ask a staff member at Vet Partners Pet Hospital for the best way to prevent parasite problems in your pet.
Vet Partners Pet Hospital carries a variety of topical, oral, or injectable flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Nutrition
Proper diet and nutrition can help your pet fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of your pet. Maintaining a healthy body weight is a very important aspect of a pet’s overall physical health. Good nutrition can help provide your pet with a happier, safer, and longer life. With proper diet and exercise, all pets should be able to meet their dietary needs and be within a healthy weight range. The best way to make sure your pet’s needs are being met is to consult with us about a specific diet for your pet and their lifestyle. Our staff will help your pet battle unhealthy weight gain and counsel you on the best nutritional options available.

Behavior Counseling
Vet Partners Pet Hospital recognizes that well-socialized animals live more peaceful, relaxed, and healthy lives. We utilize both behavior modification programs and the use of prescription medications in order to help with behavioral problems. We also work closely with veterinary behavioral specialists in the Twin Cities if we feel a particular case is beyond our skill level. Please call to schedule an appointment and consultation with one of our veterinarians.
