Wellness & Preventive Veterinary Care
for Dogs and Cats in Greenville, SC
Giving your beloved pet the healthiest, happiest life possible begins with proactive, preventive veterinary care. Wade Hampton & Pet Care Mobile knows how much your furry family member means to you. Our wellness and prevention services are designed to keep dogs and cats thriving from their first playful days to their golden years—right here in Greenville, SC, and surrounding communities.
Our focus has always been on helping pets enjoy the best quality of life for as long as possible. Through routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention, we can catch issues early, address them quickly, and support your pet’s long-term health and comfort.
Why Preventive Care Matters
Preventive medicine helps avoid illness before it starts. Regular wellness visits and parasite protection keep pets safer, reduce emergency visits, and improve their well-being. Annual exams allow us to monitor weight, check for lumps or dental disease, discuss behavior changes, and recommend the best nutrition plan. For senior pets, wellness profiles can catch age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, or diabetes while they’re still manageable.
These visits also give you time to ask questions and learn what your pet needs at each stage of life. By investing in prevention now, many families save on costly treatments down the road—and, most importantly, their pets live longer, happier lives.
About Our Wellness & Prevention Services
Our team at Wade Hampton & Pet Care Mobile provides thorough preventive care for dogs and cats, tailored to each pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle. By combining expert veterinary knowledge with genuine compassion, we help keep your pets happy, healthy, and protected from common illnesses. Our wellness and prevention services include:
Annual Wellness Exams
Each comprehensive physical evaluation checks your pet from nose to tail, including eyes, ears, mouth, heart, lungs, joints, skin, and body condition. These visits help us catch health issues early—before they become serious—and provide a baseline for monitoring changes over time.
Customized Vaccinations
Vaccines are carefully selected based on your pet’s individual risk factors. We offer core vaccines for diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, plus lifestyle vaccines like Bordetella or feline leukemia for pets with specific exposure risks. Regular boosters keep their immunity strong.
Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, and heartworms can cause discomfort, transmit dangerous diseases, and lead to life-threatening complications. We recommend year-round prevention with safe, effective products customized for your pet’s age and weight, along with guidance on how to minimize exposure at home and outdoors.
Diagnostic Testing
Our in-house laboratory supports quick, accurate testing to detect hidden conditions. Services include heartworm testing, fecal exams for intestinal parasites, wellness blood profiles to monitor organ function, and senior wellness panels that screen for age-related diseases like kidney or thyroid problems.
Nutritional Counseling
Every pet has unique nutritional needs that change over time. We’ll help you choose the right diet to support healthy growth in puppies and kittens, maintain an ideal weight in adults, and address special needs like allergies or chronic conditions. Maintaining a healthy weight helps reduce the risk of arthritis, diabetes, and other health issues.
Puppy & Kitten Visits
Early visits are important for setting your new pet up for a healthy life. These appointments include physical exams, vaccines, parasite screenings, discussions about spaying or neutering, microchipping, and helpful tips on socialization, housetraining, and nutrition.ning complications. We recommend year-round prevention with safe, effective products customized for your pet’s age and weight, along with guidance on how to minimize exposure at home and outdoors.
Senior Wellness Profiles
Older pets benefit from more frequent exams and targeted diagnostics to catch conditions that often develop with age. Our senior wellness profiles include bloodwork, urinalysis, and other tests designed to identify arthritis, organ disease, cognitive decline, or cancer early—when they’re easier to manage.
These services work together to give your dog or cat the complete preventive care they need to stay active, comfortable, and healthy at every life stage. Our team is here to answer your questions, explain each recommendation, and partner with you in your pet’s lifelong health journey.
Year-Round Parasite Protection for Greenville Pets
Parasites such as fleas, ticks, and heartworms aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous. Fleas can cause skin irritation and transmit tapeworms. Ticks carry Lyme disease and other serious illnesses. Mosquito-borne heartworms can damage the heart and lungs, often without obvious symptoms until advanced stages.
Year-round parasite prevention is one of the simplest ways to protect your pet’s health. Our team will recommend safe, effective products that fit your pet’s needs and lifestyle. We’ll also teach you how to recognize signs of parasites and reduce your pet’s risk at home and outdoors.
Vaccinations: Essential Protection at Every Stage
Vaccines are the cornerstone of preventive veterinary medicine. We offer individualized vaccination plans for dogs and cats, based on age, exposure risks, and regional disease threats. Puppies and kittens typically start their first vaccines at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by boosters to build strong immunity.
Older pets need regular boosters to maintain protection. Our weekend Pet Care Mobile clinics make it easy to keep pets up to date on vaccines at a lower cost. The mobile unit visits multiple convenient locations in Greenville, Taylors, Greer, Simpsonville, Travelers Rest, and Mauldin every weekend—bringing affordable, essential care closer to you.
