Pet Wellness Care
Brookfield Veterinary Hospital is a full-service veterinary clinic. We are located in Redmond, WA and provide complete veterinary care for pets. From preventive examinations and vaccinations to advanced veterinary diagnostic and surgical procedures, we provide expert care for your dog or cat.
Your Pet's Exam
Regular physical examinations are an important part of keeping your pet healthy! We recommend all pets undergo a complete physical examination at least once a year, though more frequent exams are encouraged. Why are regular exams important? Your pet's health can change rapidly; a routine examination can help us spot the signs of disease and treat them before your pet's health is adversely affected. Using the information we gather during an exam, we can work with you to develop a health care plan that's unique to your pet. Exams are also an excellent time to discuss vaccinations and other preventive health care measures.
Microchipping
Each year, thousands of pets go missing, and many never return home. Identifying your dog or cat is a must, but sometimes a collar or ID tag aren't enough. Microchipping your pet is a safe, effective way to help ensure your pet returns home should he or she go missing. We use the HomeAgain microchip system. The HomeAgain pet recovery and identification system includes a network of more than 20,000 veterinarians and animal shelters.
Pet Nutritional Counseling
Whether your pet has special dietary needs or simply needs to lose a few pounds, Brookfield Veterinary Hospital can help. We provide complete nutritional counseling, including prescription diets and premium over the counter diet recommendations. We also provide advice on raw and home-cooked diet recommendations.
Behavioral Counseling
Unwanted behaviors can be difficult for both you and your pet. In some cases, unwanted behaviors are caused by medical conditions. The experienced staff and veterinarians at Brookfield Veterinary Hospital provide complete behavioral counseling for your pet. We help you curb your pet's unwanted behavior and develop a treatment plan if a medical problem is at the root of the behavior.
Vaccinations
Because every pet is unique, we customize vaccination protocols for each pet. Our general vaccination protocols follow the current American Animal Hospital recommendations.
For cats: we recommend the FVRCPP vaccine every three weeks until 12 weeks of age, then boostered 12 months later. Subsequent FVRCPP vaccinations are given every three years thereafter.
The rabies vaccination is given at 12 weeks of age, boostered 12 months later, and then every three years thereafter.
The Feline Leukemia (FELV) vaccination is recommended for all kittens whether they go outside or not. Two vaccinations are given three weeks apart, starting at 9-10 weeks of age. At the annual exam a year later, we ask that you let us know if your cat goes outside or not. If your cat is an indoor-only cat, then we do not administer the FELV vaccination. Otherwise it is boostered at that visit and then every three years.
We do not recommend the FIP vaccination.
For dogs: We recommend the DHPP vaccinations every three weeks until 14 weeks of age. We do not recommend canine leptospirosis or coronavirus vaccines at this time, but may do so if disease prevalence changes. This vaccine is boostered 12 months later, and then again every three years.
The rabies vaccination is given at 12 weeks of age, boostered 12 months later, and then every three years.
The bordetella vaccination is given as an intranasal vaccine for puppies, boostered six months later with an injectable, then every 6-12 months depending on exposure. The giardia vaccination is not recommended.
Medical Case Management
If your dog or cat has a chronic condition that requires ongoing veterinary care, we can help. Brookfield Veterinary Hospital provides complete medical case management for pets with diabetes, renal failure and thyroid conditions. By managing your pet's medical condition, we provide personalized one-on-one care for your best friend.
