Wellness

At Riverside Veterinary Hospital, we offer wellness care with a focus on preventative medicine for pets in Sparta, Cookeville, Smithville, Livingston, Gainesboro, Crossville, McMinnville, and beyond. We believe that the best way to reduce the development of serious illnesses in our pets and to minimize related health care costs is to provide regular wellness checkups and preventative care.

The key to keeping your companion healthy and happy is making sure that your pet has a comprehensive physical examination every year that includes internal parasite testing and appropriate blood tests for all life stages. We assess each of our patients individually, based on factors such as species, breed, age, and physical environment, and will offer recommendations for prevention, nutrition, and further diagnostic workups.

Our doctors and staff at Riverside Veterinary Hospital are committed to providing personal attention to the unique concerns of each individual pet owner. We will develop wellness programs for the specific needs of your pet regarding necessary vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and the best method to control fleas and ticks in your house, your yard, and on your pet. We will provide guidance for your pet’s nutritional needs for each life stage as well as dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, and performance. We can spay or neuter your pet at the appropriate age, not just to prevent unwanted litters, but to lessen the development of cancer in both genders of dogs and cats.

The time and effort invested in our wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners alike. Whether your pet is a puppy or a kitten, young adult, or senior, come see us at Riverside Veterinary Hospital for your pet health care needs. We would love to get to know you and your pets and start them on a journey of healthy and happy living.
