  • Pets should have a wellness check-up at least once a year. Older pets or those with health issues may need more frequent visits. Regular pet checkups help detect health issues early, ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations, and prevent preventable diseases, keeping them healthier for longer.

  • A primary care visit typically includes a full physical exam, vaccine updates, parasite prevention, nutritional and behavioral guidance, and time to address any concerns you have about your pet’s health.

  • A proper diet supports your pet’s overall health, energy, and longevity. At Fauna, we help tailor nutrition plans for puppies, kittens, adults, and senior pets.
