Wellness and Preventative Care
Routine Wellness
We recommend yearly wellness examinations for all pets. Physical examination of growing puppies and kittens as well as senior and geriatric patients will be recommended on a more frequent basis. Our wellness appointments incorporate a full physical exam, discussion about recommended vaccinations, education and counseling about appropriate parasite prevention and testing, and for some pets, metabolic testing and lab work.
Nutrition
Nutrition and weight management is an important part of your pet’s overall wellness. Pet owners are presented with many options for pet foods and the choices can seem overwhelming. We will provide you with recommendations regarding the appropriate food and amounts to feed your pet based on body condition, activity level, and overall health. In some cases, a prescription diet may be indicated to help manage a chronic medical condition.
Microchipping
Companion Animal Veterinary Associates recommends that all pets be microchipped. This not only provides a permanent means of identification for your pet, it also helps to ensure that your pet is more likely to be returned to you if unexpectedly lost. Please ask us about microchipping your pet today.

Health Certificates
Pets require a formal health certificate within 10 days of any interstate or international travel. Health certificates require a full physical examination. For pets traveling internationally, the requirements for entry vary from one country to another. We are happy to help you in completing the necessary requirements and documentation in preparation for travel. Information regarding each country can be found on the USDA website. Crosier is certified by APHIS to provide international travel certificates.
Exotic and Small Mammal
Dr. Crosier provides wellness, medical and surgical care for variety of small mammals including rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rodents, and hedgehogs. She also provides wellness and medical services for avian companions. Often these animals hide signs of illness very well, so it is important to schedule routine wellness exams and to have these special pets checked at the first signs of illness. Grooming services such as nail and wing trims can be scheduled for current patients that we have seen for a full examination within the last 12 months.
