Wellness Care

Start Strong. Stay Healthy.

Tailored wellness exams and vaccines that help your pet thrive year after year.

At Central Hospital for Animals Harrisburg, we know your pet is more than a companion—they’re family. That’s why we offer comprehensive wellness exams and vaccination plans designed around your pet’s specific lifestyle, age, and health status. Our goal is to prevent illness before it starts and build a foundation for a lifetime of well-being, whether you’re raising a new puppy or caring for a senior cat.

Wellness exams are essential check-ins that give us insight into your pet’s health. During each visit, we perform a full physical exam, evaluate behavior and diet, and discuss age-appropriate screenings or treatments. We also customize vaccination schedules based on your pet’s exposure risks. Live in the country with other animals nearby? Travel often? We take it all into account so you get exactly what your pet needs—no more, no less.

A typical wellness visit may include:

• Thorough physical exam by a skilled veterinarian
• Core and lifestyle-based vaccinations
• Heartworm testing and prevention (dogs)
• Intestinal parasite screening
• Puppy/kitten wellness series or adult vaccine boosters
• Personalized care recommendations at every stage of life

Preventive care isn’t just about shots and checkups—it’s peace of mind. It’s knowing your dog is protected against heartworm disease. It’s feeling confident that your cat’s weight is on track and that early signs of illness won’t go unnoticed. And it’s having a trusted team to turn to when you need answers about nutrition, training, or changes in your pet’s behavior.

For puppies and kittens, we offer wellness packages that include booster vaccines, parasite protection, and education on socialization and nutrition. As your pet matures, our focus shifts toward maintaining their health and catching problems early—like arthritis, dental disease, or metabolic changes. Every step of the way, we’re here with guidance, preventive tools, and compassionate care.

Your pet deserves a long, healthy life—and it starts with the right care today. Let’s build that future together.”
