Gunnison Veterinary Clinic
Your Place for Quality Preventative Medicine
Here at Gunnison Veterinary Clinic, we believe that preventive health services are crucial to pets living long happy lives. These services monitor a patient’s ongoing health, prevent disease, and so much more. Regular checkups allow us to assess your pet’s overall health, allowing your pet’s veterinarian about things like nutrition, exercise, and behavioral changes. They also check for warning signs of potential problems allowing diseases to be treated early and leading to less complications.
We would be honored to be entrusted with caring for your beloved companion.
Annual Wellness Exam
Bringing your pet in for routine wellness exams is a crucial step in maintaining their health. Even if your dog or cat appears to be healthy, there could be problems lurking below the surface. Vaccinations, routine deworming, preventative medicines, and supplements are important components of your pets wellness care. They not only prevent life-threatening diseases, but prevent diseases that are very expensive to treat. By scheduling annual (or semi-annual) exams for your pet, you are doing your part to stay on top of their health and find out about potential problems while they are still relatively minor and easier to treat.
What to expect: When you bring your pet in for a checkup, we will check their weight and vital signs. The veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam, head to tail. They will look in their eyes, ears, and mouth, palpate their abdomen, and manipulate certain joints to make sure they are functioning properly. We will also go over your pet’s diet, exercise habits, behavior, and any changes you might have noticed. Depending on your pet’s species, breed, age, and lifestyle, we may also suggest preventive measures, to help them stay healthy. If you’ve recently adopted a new pet or your dog or cat hasn’t had a checkup in a while, we can help.
At Gunnison Veterinary Clinic, we do everything possible to help your pet enjoy a healthy, happy life.

We offer several preventive veterinary services, including:
Vaccinations
We administer vaccines to ward off many illnesses. When you choose us as your veterinarian, we will work with you to ensure that your pet is protected against the illnesses they are most likely to encounter. Together, we can decide which vaccines are most important for your furry friend.
Microchipping
Thousands of animals go missing every single year. Of them, only a small percentage is ever reunited with their owners. By having your pet microchipped, you are doing your part to boost the odds of seeing them again if they are lost or stolen. It takes just minutes and provides a lifetime of protection.
Senior Pet Care
Although age is not a disease, elderly animals can develop age-related problems. Yearly wellness exams, senior blood screening, and good at home care allows our furry friends to live happy, healthy, and active lives into their senior years. While it may be easy to spot the outward signs of aging such as a slower pace or graying hair coat. It’s important to remember your animals internal organ systems are also changing. Senior animals are more likely to develop diseases such as kidney, liver, and heart disease; cancer, or arthritis.
Nutritional Counseling
Your pet’s diet is extremely important. Obesity is an epidemic among companion animals, and many owners are simply unaware of what and how much they should feed their pets. With our help, you can gain a better understanding of your dog or cat’s dietary and exercise needs. We’ll also help you adjust your pet’s diet as they enter different life stages.
Pharmacy & Pet Products
We offer a variety of products, food, and medications to keep your pet happy and healthy.
