Preventive Care That Keeps Your Pet Healthy Year Round
At West Pine Animal Hospital and Pet Resort in West End, NC, we believe the best way to protect your pet is to stay ahead of illness before it starts. Our preventive care services are designed for dogs and cats at every life stage, from their first puppy or kitten exam through their senior years. Keeping your pet healthy starts with a consistent routine, and our team is here to make that easy.
What Our Preventive Care Includes
A yearly wellness visit is about much more than a quick checkup. Our veterinary team takes time to evaluate your pet from nose to tail, catching early warning signs before they become serious health problems. We tailor every visit to your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle.
Our preventive care services include:
- Wellness exams for puppies, kittens, adults, and senior pets
- Core and lifestyle vaccinations for dogs and cats
- Parasite prevention covering fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal parasites
- Nutritional and weight counseling based on your pet's individual needs
- Early screening and diagnostics to catch problems sooner
We are proud to be a Cat Friendly certified practice, recognized by the American Association of Feline Practitioners. That means our team is trained to make vet visits lower-stress for cats and their owners.

Locally Owned, Deeply Committed to Your Pet's Health
West Pine Animal Hospital and Pet Resort is 100% locally owned by Jared and his wife, who grew up right here in this community. This is not a corporate chain. They receive buyout offers regularly and have turned every single one down, because this practice belongs to the families it serves.
That commitment means you will always see the same caring team, build real relationships with your veterinarian, and get
good quality medicine with a family atmosphere every time you walk through our doors.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Preventive Care

What is a P.A.W. Wellness Plan, and how does it work?
A P.A.W. Plan is a monthly membership that bundles preventive services like exams, vaccines, and parasite prevention into one affordable payment. It is designed to remove cost as a barrier so your pet stays protected all year long.
