Our Primary Care Services
Nose-to-tail is where we start! A comprehensive physical exam allows your veterinarian in Columbus to gain insight into your pet's health, current conditions, and detect early signs of disease. Regular wellness visits are the foundation of preventive care.
Vaccinations and Preventive Care
Vaccines are the foundation for preventative medicine and are essential in preventing so many life-threatening conditions. Our team tailors vaccine plans to your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Not every pet has the same exposure, and we believe in treating each patient as an individual.
Diagnostic Testing
Our vets in Columbus, Ohio, provide comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, including fecal testing, infectious disease testing, tick-borne and heartworm disease testing, comprehensive blood and urine testing, skin, mass, and ear cytology, and digital radiography to accurately diagnose your pet's condition.
From ear and skin infections to chronic allergic disease and immune-mediated skin conditions, our team can diagnose, treat, and provide tailored long-term management for your pet's dermatological needs.
From hospital anxiety to separation anxiety to cognitive decline, our licensed professionals can help ensure your pet is as happy and stress-free as possible! We understand that behavioral health is an essential part of overall wellness.
From growth to aging, nutrition plays a key role in your pet's overall health. Our vets in Columbus are here to help you choose the best diet based on your pet's needs, lifestyle, and medical history to support optimal health at every life stage.
Microchipping is a simple, effective way to help reunite lost pets with their families. PAWS offers microchipping as a standalone service or can easily be incorporated into a routine procedure like a spay or neuter for your convenience.
Whether it's a sudden illness or an ongoing condition, PAWS is equipped to handle a wide range of medical needs. Our skilled staff is well versed in diagnosing, treating, and managing chronic disease, including immune-mediated conditions, endocrinopathies, cancer, and infectious diseases.
Puppies and kittens need some extra TLC in their first year of life. From vaccine series to starting preventatives to discussing behavior to planning for their spay or neuter, your PAWS veterinarian in Columbus is there for it all! We'll help set your new family member up for a healthy, happy life.
Pain management is imperative for injuries, surgical procedures, orthopedic conditions, and arthritis. Using medications, therapies, and individualized care plans, our Columbus vet team treats both acute and chronic pain to keep your pets healthy and comfortable.
It is so important to support our senior pets with proactive and personalized care. This often includes more frequent exams, bloodwork monitoring, mobility assessments, and pain management. Our goal as your trusted provider is to keep your senior pets thriving in their golden years.
Dental health is often overlooked but it is an incredibly important part of your pet's health and well-being. Our skilled veterinarians and licensed technicians provide professional cleaning and scaling, dental radiology, oral biopsies, and dental extractions to maintain optimal oral health.
Our veterinarians are well-trained and experienced in a multitude of soft tissue surgeries ranging from spays and neuters, mass removals, bladder surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery. As your trusted vet in Columbus, we use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and have a staff well trained in anesthesia to ensure your pet's procedure is as safe as possible.
Traveling with your pet? PAWS offers both domestic and international health certificates, and our team will help ensure all the details and documentation are handled smoothly. Extensive planning goes into international travel and can take months to complete the proper documentation.
This is one of the most important services we can provide to pets and their families. Our compassionate and experienced team will help guide you through every step and ensure the process is peaceful and comfortable for your pet and your family.
