At 405 Vet our approach to veterinary care is to promote excellent overall wellness and prevent illness. Our goal is to prevent illness, but when illness does manifest we will attempt to identify the issue and address it before it becomes a significant problem. To accomplish this, we recommend regular wellness and preventive care, which includes:
- Annual Exams: Our veterinarian will assess your pet’s overall health by performing a nose to tail physical exam
- Routine Blood Screening: Annual blood screening allows 405 Vet to establish baseline blood values for your pet, track and trend changes in these blood values, and diagnose and treat problems early. Routine blood screens allow our veterinarians to ensure all organs are functioning normally and more confidently declare wellness in your pet.
- Vaccines: Routine Vaccinations are critical to preventing infectious disease in your pet. 405 Vet will evaluate risk factors in your pet and vaccinate accordingly.
- Parasite Screening and Monthly Prevention: Parasites can cause significant disease in your pet, and potentially death. All pets are at risk for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. Some of these parasites can also be transmitted to your human family. Therefore, regular parasite screening and monthly prevention medication is a vitally important aspect of veterinary care.
- Routine Dental Care: Dental disease is the number one diagnosed health problem in dogs and cats across America. We will closely monitor your pet’s oral health, and give you the information andtools to provide preventative dental care.

DENTISTRY
Do you know the number one disease affecting cats and dogs today? If you guessed dental disease, you are right! According to the American Veterinary Dental College, most dogs and cats have some evidence of periodontal (dental) disease by the age of 3, and it often goes untreated. In late stages, bacteria can enter your dog or cat’s bloodstream and may cause severe problems for the heart and other vital organs.
At 405 Vet, we understand that dental disease is a preventable issue. We strive to provide you with the at-home tools and in-clinic treatment to maintain good oral health and prevent dental disease. In addition to regular dental exams, we offer:
- Anesthetic cleaning and polishing
- Digital dental X-rays to see below the gum line where most dental disease is present.

MICROCHIPPING

Microchipping a pet is simple, relatively painless, and very affordable. Unlike collars and tags, microchips can’t fall off, and serve as permanent identification for a pet’s entire life. Have questions? Call us today at (405) 562-4998.
PALLIATIVE CARE
End-Of-Life Care
It’s never easy to say goodbye to a beloved pet, and we want to help make that difficult time more manageable by providing compassionate hospice and euthanasia services for your pet. We provide a quiet “comfort room” at the hospital where you can be with your animal companion through the process and when they pass, and we will give you the space and time you need to say goodbye.
Hospice care for pets means providing treatments, medications, and therapies to see that your pet’s pain is managed. We will work with you at our clinic to ensure that he or she is as comfortable as possible in the weeks or days prior to passing. When you’re ready to make that decision, our veterinarians will be with you every step of the way, and our staff can help with recommendations for aftercare.
