Wellness Care
Prevention Is Worth Pounds of Cure!
The Doctors and Staff at AVC are committed to making sure your pets get the care they need to keep them well and catch any problems early. We believe in a team approach, and it’s not just our Doctors and staff working together – the best healthcare happens when you and your pet work with us as part of that team, too.
Wellness Membership
A Team Approach to Staying Well
You want the same thing for your pets we do – to keep them happy and healthy. That’s what Wellness Membership is really about – getting us, your pets, and your family on the same team. Membership includes the basics we recommend for every pet – a checkup at least annually, core vaccines, and important screenings. Packaging those things together makes it more efficient and cost-effective, but more importantly being a Member builds a better relationship between us, your pet, and you. And that leads to better care!
Vaccinations
Our vaccination protocols are based on American Animal Hospital Association guidelines and the lifestyle needs of your individual pet. Wherever possible, we use three-year protocols, ensuring your pets get the protection they need without excessive vaccinations. We only use products proven safe and effective.
Heartworm disease
is endemic in Southern Indiana, so we recommend annual testing and monthly preventatives for all pets.
Intestinal parasites are common in all dogs and cats, often with few or no signs. At a minimum, we recommend a fecal exam annually. Depending on their lifestyle, more frequent testing or deworming may be recommended.

External parasite preventatives
are recommended for all pets who spend time outdoors. Fleas and ticks carry serious diseases (and they’re gross).
Excellence in Dental Care
What would you do if you had a toothache, but couldn’t tell anyone?
Your pet’s mouth is the most common place for potentially painful and serious problems to hide. That terrible smell and brown or green buildup on Muffy’s teeth? That’s hardened bacteria, a cake of infection called tartar. If you see that, look closely and you’ll also see red, inflamed gums. Ignore it long enough, and those teeth become loose, painful, and potentially abscessed. From periodontal disease to fractured teeth and oral tumors, you can’t find them if you don’t look. Many serious problems will be missed in awake animals, and many more are only visible with x-rays. That’s why Access Veterinary Care recommends an annual dental cleaning, exam, and periodic full-mouth x-rays – the exact same thing your dentist recommends for you. Because your pet’s teeth need and deserve the same care your teeth do.
Access Veterinary Care offers the best dental care in the area. Our dental equipment is the best available, and we are committed to your pet’s oral health.
Microchipping
The Best ID For Your Pet
A microchip is a permanent form of ID. About the size of a grain of rice, it is implanted under the skin and can’t be lost or removed like a collar or tag. If your pet is ever lost or stolen, any veterinarian or shelter it might wind up at will scan it for a microchip. When found, they can use it to reunite your with your lost companion.
