Expert Preventive Care to Support Every Stage of Life
At Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, we believe that prevention is the key to long-term health and happiness for your pets. Our comprehensive wellness and preventive care services—including routine pet checkups, vaccinations, nutritional counseling, and parasite prevention—are designed to keep your furry companions healthy from nose to tail.
Serving pets and their families in Eagle River, Anchorage, and surrounding areas, we provide thoughtful, expert care tailored to your pet’s needs at every life stage.
Pet Wellness Exams & Routine Checkups
Regular pet wellness exams are a vital part of your companion’s healthcare routine. These comprehensive nose-to-tail checkups allow our veterinary team to assess your pet’s overall condition, detect changes early, and discuss any concerns you may have.
During a typical pet checkup, we’ll:
- Review your pet’s health history and lifestyle
- Examine the eyes, ears, skin, coat, teeth, and joints
- Listen to the heart and lungs
- Palpate the abdomen for abnormalities
- Discuss behavioral or nutritional concerns
Annual or biannual pet routine checkups help us build a complete picture of your pet’s health and allow for personalized care throughout their life.
Pet Vaccinations
Vaccinations are an essential part of preventive pet care, protecting your dog or cat from potentially life-threatening diseases. We create vaccination plans that are customized based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Our vaccination services include:
- Core vaccines (e.g., rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline viral rhinotracheitis)
- Lifestyle-based vaccines (e.g., Bordetella, Lyme, feline leukemia, Leptospirosis)
- Safe and gentle administration with minimal stress
Keeping your pet up to date on vaccinations is one of the most effective ways to support long-term wellness.
Pet Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, and heartworms aren’t common in Alaska, but they can pose serious risks for pets traveling outside the state. At Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, we help you navigate parasite prevention based on your pet’s lifestyle and travel history.
Our parasite prevention services include:
- Fecal testing to screen for internal parasites
- Heartworm and travel-related parasite guidance
- Preventive recommendations for pets visiting the Lower 48
With the right care, your pet can avoid discomfort, illness, and the risk of spreading parasites to other pets or people, especially when traveling.
Nutritional Counseling for Pets
Nutrition plays a vital role in your pet’s energy, weight management, and overall health. Whether your pet is a growing puppy or kitten, managing a chronic condition, or entering their senior years, we can help you make informed decisions about what goes in their bowl.
Our veterinarians provide:
- Custom dietary recommendations
- Weight management plans
- Guidance on life-stage feeding
- Advice on therapeutic and prescription diets
We’ll help you cut through the confusion and make sure your pet gets the nutrition they need to live a long, healthy life.
Why Preventive Care Matters?
Preventive care gives your pet the best chance at a healthy, happy life. By staying ahead of problems before they start—or catching them in their earliest stages—we can reduce long-term health risks and minimize costs over time.
Benefits of preventive care include:
- Early detection of illness
- Stronger immune protection
- Reduced risk of disease transmission
- Improved quality of life and longevity
And just as important, it allows you to ask questions, get expert advice, and build a trusting relationship with your veterinary care team.
