Wellness Vaccination Programs Our wellness and vaccination programs are designed to prevent disease and prolong lives. Disease prevention is always less expensive than having to pay for treatment of a disease. An example of an expensive disease to treat is parvovirus. Parvovirus treatment can cost $1,000 or more, while a single parvovirus vaccination will usually cost less than $100. Early diagnosis and treatment of a disease can lead to a longer, healthier life. Kidney disease, if diagnosed early, is treatable by modifying or adding supplements your pet's diet to potentially extend their lives. There are many other conditions to which an early diagnosis is advantageous.

Anesthesia & Patient Monitoring Anesthesia and patient monitoring varies greatly among clinics. When you choose your veterinarian, be sure to question the types of anesthetics used and the protocols for monitoring anesthesia, and also make sure that you choose a veterinary hospital that is AAHA accredited. Often the more expensive anesthetics are safer to use, however anesthetics are also also chosen for other reasons including their ability to control pain.
Since we are AAHA accredited, we are required to use monitoring equipment. Our monitoring equipment is brand new, and is able to track your pets vital signs including temperature, pulse, heart rate, and blood pressure. This is extremely important when your pet is under general anesthesia so that our veterinary team can be notified right away if there are any changes in your pet's condition. Often the more expensive anesthetics are safer to use, however anesthetics are also chosen for other reasons including their ability to control pain. Pet First Animal Hospital uses the following types of anesthetics:
