Our Services
Pet Wellness Care in Westtown, PA
We want to be your partner in your pet’s care. Bringing your pet to Best Friend Vet for regular wellness visits is crucial to their health. Many pet health problems can be avoided through regular physical exams. We recommend that younger pets be seen for an annual wellness visit, and pets over 8 years old are seen every 6 months.
In between wellness exams, if you notice any irregularities with your pet, we encourage you to take notes, pictures, and/or videos and schedule a physical examination.
The team at Best Friend Vet prides itself on exceptional medicine, years of experience, and keeping up-to-date on new medical advancements. Regular physical examinations and blood work help us tailor wellness plans to help your furry family get well and stay well!
Vaccines & Side Effects
You may worry about the safety of vaccines for your pets. Most pets don’t experience any side effects. Possible side effects vary based on the vaccination, but most often are mild and may include fatigue, fever, and/or hives. Our veterinarians at Best Friend Vet screen your pet thoroughly to ensure the vaccines are safe for your pets. Exams are recommended annually for healthy adult pets and every 6 months for pets over the age of 9 years. Pets may rarely have life-threatening reactions to vaccines. In a majority of cases, the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risks, but our veterinarians are ready to help you make the best decision for your pet.

Pet Vaccinations
Many of the diseases that can affect dogs and cats are preventable through proper pet vaccinations. From your first visit to Best Friend Vet, we’ll make sure your pet is up-to-date on their vaccines and put on a schedule that makes sure they continue to stay up-to-date.
Depending on your pet’s age, medical history, lifestyle, and environment, our Westtown veterinarian will discuss the best course of action in regard to your pet’s vaccine schedule. You can bring your cat or dog in as early as eight weeks for his or her first round of vaccines.
You’ll need to bring your pet in every few weeks over the course of about three months for boosters after he/she receives the initial vaccines. Once your pet finishes the initial vaccine series, he/she will receive boosters every 1 to 3 years, depending on the vaccine and lifestyle of your fur-baby.
